Walmart (WMT) Earnings Expected to Grow: Should You Buy?

Wall Street expects a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when Walmart (WMT) reports results for the quarter ended July 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates. The earnings report, which is expected to be released on August 20, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower. While management's discussion

Walmart Stock Slides About 12% in 3 Months: Is WMT Still Too Pricey?

Walmart Inc. WMT shares have declined 11.8% over the past three months, reflecting a cautious investor stance despite the retail giant's solid business momentum. The stock has fared slightly better than the industry's 13.9% fall but has significantly underperformed the Zacks Retail – Wholesale sector's 0.1% growth and the S&P 500's 2.4% gain over the same period. WMT's pullback comes as investors weigh rising operating costs, pressure on lower-income consumers and elevated investment spending against Walmart's healthy sales trends and expanding digital ecosystem.

Popular $20 item at Target is outperforming S&P 500, Bitcoin this year

Pokémon cards have evolved from a children's collectible into a multibillion-dollar market, with some buyers increasingly treating the cards as an alternative investment alongside traditional assets. The clearest sign of how mainstream the trade has become is where it is happening: not on Wall Street, but at Target, Walmart and Costco, where booster packs and boxes that sell for anywhere from a few dollars to around $20 have become one of retail's fastest-growing categories. Target said trading-card sales jumped nearly 70% in 2025 and were on track to exceed $1 billion, with Pokémon among the

Walmart (WMT) Bets On Streaming Ads. Can The Stock Catch Up?

Walmart (NYSE:WMT) just made its boldest move yet to turn shopping data into ad dollars. On August 4, the retailer completed its acquisition of Vibe.co, a self-service streaming TV advertising platform founded in 2021. The deal folds into Walmart Connect, the company's US commerce media arm, giving advertisers of any size an easier way to plan, buy, and measure streaming TV campaigns tied directly to shopping behavior. It is a logical next step for a company whose core business has been strong all year, even as its stock has struggled to reflect that strength.Walmart (WMT) Bets On Streaming Ad

Costco’s Stock Has a Problem: It’s Almost Too Good

Quick Read Costco earns a BUY with 90% confidence and a $1,023 target, but at 48x earnings, only 7% upside remains. Costco trades at 48x earnings versus Walmart's 41x but grows revenue nearly twice as fast, while BJ's 90% renewal rate validates the membership model. It sounds nuts, but SoFi1 is giving new Active Invest users up to $3,000 in stock for a limited time, and all it takes is a $50 deposit to get started.2 See for yourself (Sponsor) My 24/7 Wall St. price target for Costco (NASDAQ:COST) lands at $1,022.62, a modest step up from today's $952.75.

Analyst: UPS-Teamsters 2028 showdown will unleash parcel industry tsunami

How United Parcel Service negotiates with unionized parcel drivers and loaders when the current contract reaches its end in two years will trigger a tsunami that either wipes UPS from the last-mile delivery market or severely damages its competitors, creating a more competitive landscape that benefits online retailers and consumers, an influential industry analyst predicted last week. UPS (NYSE: UPS) needs to convince the Teamsters union that the current Cadillac-wage structure enshrined in the 2023 contract is unsustainable and the vast majority of parcel delivery jobs will disappear as custo

A Red-Hot Robotics IPO Is 8,000 Times Oversubscribed. SpaceX Drew 4X Demand.

Quick Read NVDA powers nearly every physical AI roadmap with revenue surging 85% to $82 billion, while OUST climbed 108% year to date on 56% revenue growth. Unitree's Shanghai IPO drew 8,000 times retail oversubscription, dwarfing SpaceX's 4x and signaling that physical AI investor appetite has reached full boil. Symbotic carries a $22 billion backlog and doubled adjusted EBITDA to $95 million, but Walmart revenue concentration and internal-control weaknesses have pushed shares down 31%.

Should You Own Walmart for Its Dividend King Status or Costco for Its Special Dividend? Here's the Answer.

Walmart (NASDAQ: WMT) and Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST) are both recession-resistant businesses, as they offer products people will buy no matter how tight their budgets. They also each reward their shareholders with quarterly dividend payouts, with Walmart's yielding 0.8% and Costco's 0.6%. That said, each has unique payout characteristics, as Walmart is a Dividend King, having increased its payout for 50 or more consecutive years. In addition to its quarterly dividend payouts, Costco has paid a special dividend every few years. Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In

Scott Bessent Says America's 'K-Shaped' Economy Is Dead, But Robert Reich Fires Back With a McDonald's Warning: 'Very Much Alive, Even CEOs are Admitting It's a Problem'

Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the U.S. economy is moving beyond the K-shaped divide, but economists and corporate leaders continue to offer mixed views on the health of American consumers. Bessent said in a CNBC "Squawk Box" interview last week that the "K-shaped" economy is over and that a "C-economy" is emerging, with lower-income workers beginning to regain ground. Bessent Makes His Case The K-shaped economy refers to a widening gap between higher- and lower-income Americans, with th

Should You Buy Walmart Stock Before Aug. 20?

On Aug. 20, Walmart (NASDAQ: WMT) will report second-quarter earnings for its fiscal 2027. With the stock price well below its 52-week high of $135.16, shareholders are hoping the retail giant will raise its full-year guidance in hopes of giving the stock price a boost. That said, hoping for a boost in guidance isn't a reason to buy Walmart before Aug. 20, especially since one may not arrive. Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again.

WMT news archive

Showing 31-37 of 37 stored headlines

Stored newest first for historical research. These older headlines are retained for reference and do not contribute to the current sentiment gauge above. Where an early legacy import did not retain its canonical URL, the headline links to an exact publisher-aware source lookup instead of inventing an article address.

How the page works

How to read the score

The score shows direction

It describes the weighted balance of qualifying headlines. A score of 50 can mean balanced news or that there is not enough evidence; the status label explains which.

Confidence is separate

Confidence measures depth, source breadth, direct relevance, freshness and agreement. It does not rise merely because the tone is extreme.

Price is confirmation

Weekly price response, trend and fair-value position test whether the market is accepting or rejecting the news. They never rewrite the news score.

What the page does

It measures news already published. It is not a forecast, recommendation or price target.
