Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT) has reportedly entered discussions with prospective buyers to offload its recently closed medical clinics.
In April, Walmart announced the shutdown of all 51 of its health clinics and terminated its virtual healthcare services, citing the unsustainable nature of the business model.
The retail giant is now exploring options to recover some of its investments in the clinics, engaging in conversations with various entities, including health insurance company Humana Inc. (NYSE:HUM), reported Reuters.
Walmart has expressed its aim to recoup investments through a sale or other takeover arrangements. Although it’s unclear whether these discussions are still active, the company intends to recover part of the extensive capital poured into the clinics.
