AXIL Brands stock jumped after securing a nationwide Walmart distribution deal for its X30 LT hearing protection earplugs, marking the company's largest retail placement and expanding access to its patented toggle-mode technology starting February 2026.

AXIL Brands Inc. (AXIL) just landed what might be the most important deal in its history, and investors are clearly paying attention. The stock rocketed more than 63% after the company announced it's putting its X30 LT in-ear hearing protection plugs into over 3,700 Walmart Inc. (WMT) stores nationwide starting February 2026.

This is the biggest retail placement AXIL has ever secured, and it comes at an interesting moment. The company spent 2025 building out its distribution network, and now it's capitalizing on that momentum heading into next year. The Walmart deal dramatically expands access to AXIL's patented hearing technology and sets the stage for what management expects to be strong growth through 2026.

So what makes these earplugs special enough to warrant shelf space at America's largest retailer? The X30 LT plugs feature a toggle switch that lets users flip between full noise protection and a hear-through mode in real time. Think of it as adaptive hearing protection that responds to your environment rather than just blocking everything out. The dual-mode noise control is designed to handle both steady background noise and sudden loud sounds, which is actually pretty clever engineering for something you can grab off a shelf.

The plugs come with multiple tip sizes and materials for customization. Foam tips deliver up to 25 dB of noise reduction, while silicone tips provide up to 21 dB. They're water- and sweat-resistant, and the whole package includes a compact carry case for portability.

Chief Executive Jeff Toghraie framed the Walmart partnership as validation of both product performance and rising consumer demand. The nationwide rollout means AXIL's patented technology will reach a significantly broader audience than the company has accessed before.

Looking at the stock's performance, AXIL has had quite a run. The shares hit a 52-week high of $10.75 and a low of $3.75. Thursday's close put the stock about 22% below that peak but roughly 124% above the low. Year to date, shares are up approximately 117%. The stock is also trading about 54% above its 50-day simple moving average, suggesting strong recent momentum despite the pullback from highs.

AXIL Price Action: AXIL Brands shares jumped 63.55% to $8.21 at the time of publication on Thursday.
