Walmart stock experienced a decline after
earnings and
profit outlook fell short of forecasts, despite accelerating US sales growth.
Analysts argue that Walmart, not Target, could drive consumer staples' momentum, considering the latter's struggles in comparison to Walmart.
Amazon is increasing its presence in the grocery sector, presenting a challenge to Walmart's lead, while a rare profit miss saw Walmart's stock slump.
Walmart's Q2 results were mixed, appearing as a 'buying opportunity' to analysts due to soaring sales, albeit with sputtering profits. Meanwhile, shares of stocks are being sold and bought by entities such as
Rep. Ritchie Torres and
1832 Asset Management. The company’s stock is affected by tariff concerns and higher claims. Importantly, though,
Walmart's U.S. performance remains robust, with Q2 net income soaring to US$7 billion and a completed buyback worth US$1.6 billion. Despite a poor performance in Q2 earnings, the company has upped its sales and earnings outlook, albeit acknowledging rising tariff costs.
