Bulls Say

  • Walmart Connect is profitably compounding sales at a high-double-digit rate, with 70% operating margins, creating a durable profit stream as it captures retail media advertising spending using real-time data from 255 million weekly shoppers.

  • Expansion of private-label penetration boosts margins while reinforcing Walmart’s value message and defending its share.

  • Walmart+ adoption drives nearly twice as much shopping frequency per member, reinforcing share gains with fuel, delivery, and media perks appealing to higher-income households.

Bears Say

  • Digitally native rivals like Amazon, Shein, and Temu could erode wallet share in discretionary categories, which make up 25% of Walmart’s sales and carry higher margins than grocery.

  • Rising employee wages (up 30% in five years) and raw material inflation could outpace productivity gains, constraining margin improvement.

  • International operations may fail to scale and realize the same level of brand resonance in the US, with past failures in the UK, Germany, and Argentina, which would depress returns on invested capital.

What's happening

Walmart Inc. Surges with Strong Earnings and Strategic Innovations

  • Walmart's third-quarter earnings exceeded expectations, reporting an EPS of $0.62 and revenues of $179.5 billion.
  • The company transitioned from NYSE to Nasdaq, emphasizing its focus on technology and e-commerce growth.
  • Leadership changes raised concerns among investors but did not significantly hinder overall performance.

Over the past month, Walmart Inc. (WMT) has shown robust performance with a notable increase of 14%. This impressive growth stands in stark contrast to the S&P 500's return of just 1.3%, resulting in WMT outperforming the index by a significant margin of 12.6%. Key factors contributing to this upward trajectory include strong earnings reports and strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing customer engagement.

The momentum for Walmart began with its third-quarter earnings announcement on November 20, where it reported an earnings per share (EPS) of $0.62—surpassing expectations—and revenues reaching $179.5 billion, also exceeding forecasts. Following this announcement, analysts adjusted their EPS guidance for fiscal year 2026 upwards while noting substantial growth in e-commerce sales alongside steady same-store sales growth, which fostered bullish sentiment among investors.

In addition to financial results, Walmart made headlines by shifting from NYSE to Nasdaq on December 9 as part of its strategy focused on technology and e-commerce expansion. This transition was complemented by advancements such as AI-driven shopping experiences through their new assistant Sparky and collaborations aimed at improving supply chain efficiency.

Despite these positive developments, some bearish sentiment emerged due to social media discussions about valuation concerns and leadership changes within the company; CEO Doug McMillon announced his retirement effective January 31, 2026, with John Furner appointed as his successor—a transition that initially caused apprehension among investors leading to temporary price declines.

Overall trends indicate that despite occasional setbacks related to market perceptions or leadership transitions, WMT continues thriving amid evolving retail dynamics driven by consumer preferences for convenience and technological integration in shopping experiences. Notably during this period, Walmart Inc outperformed the Consumer Staples (XLP) sector by an impressive margin of 11.4%.
