Walmart in talks to buy Vizio in more than $2B deal, WSJ says

Walmart (WMT) is in talks to buy smart television maker Vizio (VZIO) for more than $2B, people familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal’s Jessica Toonkel and Sarah Nassauer. Walmart, including its Sam’s Club chain, has historically been Vizio’s largest customer and such a deal would give Walmart more places where it can sell ads and pitch shoppers on goods, the report said.
