Walmart's stock performance has been a significant factor in the recent volatility of the stock market. After posting its earnings, the retailer's weaker outlook and potential effects of tariffs have led to a slide in its stock and have impacted the broader market.
Q4 earnings beat expectations, but conservative guidance for 2025 due to an 'uncertain time' in the economy has disappointed investors, causing the devaluation. Its stock price has tumbled continuously, becoming the
worst Dow Jones performer. As a result, Wall Street's expectations for consumer demand are dampened, causing the market to retract from its record levels. Despite this, Morgan Stanley retains a positive outlook, estimating that Walmart's stock can reach $150. However, warnings about future consumer spending, slow expected profit growth, and tariff concerns have added to the bearish view. Walmart's CFO defends the conservative guidance, suggesting Wall Street optimism around the stock despite its plunge.
