Walmart Prepares to Report Q2 Earnings Amid Market Caution
Retail giant Walmart (WMT) is set to announce its fiscal Q2 2025 results on August 21, with Wall Street anticipating earnings of $0.72 per share—a 7.46% year-over-year increase. Revenue projections stand at $175.51 billion, up 3.65% from the prior year. Despite a 12.95% year-to-date stock surge driven by its value-chain reputation and e-commerce expansion, tariff pressures and supply chain adjustments loom as challenges.
Guggenheim analyst Robert Drbul raised Walmart's price target to $115, citing potential for multiple expansion and market share gains in consumables. The broader market remains cautious ahead of the earnings release, reflecting mixed sentiment around consumer spending resilience.
