Walmart beats Wall Street expectations with strong food and health sales driving 6% revenue growth to $179.5 billion, raising outlook for fiscal 2026.
Walmart will report fiscal third-quarter earnings on Thursday morning. The big-box retailer, which caters to shoppers across incomes, may offer the clearest snapshot of U.S. consumer health so far this retail earnings season.
Walmart is reportedly in talks to acquire R&A Data, a startup that already serves as a third-party vendor helping the retailer screen listings on its online marketplace for counterfeiting and other compliance issues.
Walmart's going through plenty these days—but so are its customers. Both topics are likely to take center stage when the retail giant reports its third-quarter results on Thursday.
Walmart Inc (NYSE:WMT, XETRA:WMT) will report its third quarter earnings on November 20, and Bank of America is forecasting adjusted earnings of $0.60 per share alongside 3% comparable sales growth in the US, a pace the firm says reflects a deceleration in line with recent third-party spending data. Bank of America noted that Bloomberg Second Measure observed slower sales trends for Walmart during the quarter, consistent with its comp estimate, though the retailer is still tracking a compound annual US comp growth rate of 7% versus 2019.
If the sell-side consensus estimate is met for Walmart's (WMT) fiscal Q3 '26, Walmart will print its first trailing-twelve-month revenue in excess of $700 billion. The stock never looks cheap on a PE valuation, which is very similar to how most consumer staple stocks trade. Walmart comps have averaged 5.4% the last 10 quarters, although the recent quarters have been in the 4.5% range.
