Markets Bullish About Walmart Earnings Despite Tariff Worries
Retail giant is expected to report increased revenue for first quarter of 2025
Top U.S. retailer Walmart [WMT] is expected to report an increase in earnings in the first quarter report scheduled on Thursday defying the environment of uncertainty caused by President Donald Trump’s utterances over tariffs. Multibrand stores like Target and Walmart have been under investor scanner for challenges of supply chain disruption likely from the threatened Trump tariff wars.
Ahead of the earnings release Thursday, WMT stock ticker opened Wednesday at $96.02 and closed at $96.87.
Yahoo Finance quotes a Bank of America note that growth in the store chain company’s U.S. e-commerce business may top expectations to offset less impressive same-store sales growth.
Analysts forecast $166 billion quarterly revenue for Walmart or $0.59 in adjusted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2026.
Stock price target for WMT
Yahoo Finance quoted experts as setting $120 price target for Walmart. The stock ticker opened at $96.02 Wednesday.
Bank of America has estimated a 3% year-over-year rise in same-store sales. However, analysts forecast 18% growth year-over-year, the note said.
It is estimated that Walmart shares have gained nearly 60% in the past year.
Businesses have faced tariff uncertainty throughout the Jan-Mar quarter after Trump returned to the White House for his second term as President. On April 2 he declared what was claimed to be the Liberation Day when the U.S. was expected to become free of huge trade imbalance with some other major economies including China, Japan, the EU, Canada and Mexico. After declaring a base level of 10% tariff on imports of almost all nations and varying reciprocal tariffs. Trump kept the reciprocal tariffs suspended granting time for negotiations to reach bilateral agreements. The markets were even more violently hit when Trump and China’s Xi Jinping went on a tariff ping pong that resulted in China imposing 125% tariffs on imports from the U.S. and Washington imposing 154% tariffs on imports from China. The situation eased when Trump paused the tariffs for 90 days to leave space for trade talks. The markets have roared back after the Trump Administration announced reaching a trade deal with China and pausing the tariffs for another 90 days.
