#walmartfalls7%
😄 Walmart beat earnings. Wall Street replied: “Nice numbers. Still selling.” 👀
📊 Earnings Surprise
Revenue beat expectations. Adjusted EPS came in at $0.81 vs $0.74 expected. Walmart even raised its full-year outlook.
Yet WMT dropped nearly 9%.
🔢 The Numbers
→ Revenue: $187.9B
→ US comparable sales: +2.6% vs ~3.7% expected
→ Net income: -9% YoY
→ Q3 EPS guidance: below expectations
🛒 The Consumer Warning
Walmart is one of the clearest windows into the U.S. consumer.
Slower comparable sales suggest shoppers may be starting to feel the pressure.
🕳 The Hidden Problem
Part of the profit strength came from a $2.9B one-time tariff refund.
Strip out the temporary boost, and the earnings story looks less impressive.
📉 Valuation Reality Check
At roughly 35–38x earnings, Walmart wasn't priced for “good.”
It was priced for near-perfect growth.
🔄 Plot Twist
The business isn't collapsing.
E-commerce still grew 24%, marketplace 52%, and advertising 38%.
💡 Square Insight:
Markets don't just price earnings. They price how sustainable those earnings are.
Is Walmart warning that the U.S. consumer is slowing — or is Wall Street simply resetting an overpriced stock?
