Walmart (WMT) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Walmart's consolidated net sales for the quarter reached $178.8 billion, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 4.0% and a stronger growth of 5.2% when adjusted for constant currency. The company achieved an improvement in gross margin, with Walmart U.S. contributing to a quarter-over-quarter expansion driven by effective inventory management and a favorable business mix, notably the growth in advertising and data analytics. E-commerce sales experienced a significant increase of 20%, underscoring Walmart's ability to leverage its operational strengths and customer traffic across various sales channels.
Bears say
Walmart's international net sales experienced a slight decline of 0.7%, significantly impacted by currency fluctuations and shifts in sales strategies, particularly with Flipkart. Furthermore, operating margins fell short of market expectations, influenced by a slowdown in consumer spending and increasing competition, resulting in a guided deceleration in margin expansion for fiscal year 2026. Lastly, despite a reduction in total debt to $39.1 billion, Walmart's operating margins decreased by 8 basis points to 4.4%, raising concerns about sustainability amidst a challenging retail environment.
