U.S. retail giant Walmart (WMT) is poised to report Q3 earnings tomorrow, with Wall Street anticipating $0.61 per share—a 5.2% year-over-year increase. Revenue projections stand at $177.14 billion, up 4.5% from the prior year. Investors eyeing Walmart exposure may consider ETFs with significant WMT weightings.
The VanEck Retail ETF (RTH), tracking the MVIS US Listed Retail 25 Index, allocates 9.48% to Walmart. Dominated by Amazon (20.36%) and Costco (7.67%), RTH’s $253.85 million AUM reflects concentrated bets on retail disruptors. Meanwhile, the Vanguard Consumer Staples ETF (VDC) offers steadier exposure, though specifics were truncated in the original text.
