Mizuho trims target after results

The target reduction follows Walmart's fiscal second-quarter 2027 report for the quarter ended July 31, 2026. DataPorium reported that revenue rose 5.90 percent year over year to USD 187.9 billion, while operating income increased 28.80 percent to USD 9.4 billion.

GAAP earnings per share reached USD 0.80 and adjusted earnings per share came in at USD 0.81 for fiscal Q2 2027. The adjusted figure exceeded the USD 0.74 consensus cited by Investing.com.

Growth remains uneven

The same fiscal quarter delivered 23.00 percent global e-commerce growth and 38.00 percent advertising growth, according to DataPorium. Walmart U.S. comparable sales excluding fuel increased 2.60 percent, leaving the digital businesses as the sharper growth engine in the latest reported period.

Walmart raised its fiscal 2027 outlook to constant-currency net sales growth of 4.00 percent to 5.00 percent and adjusted earnings per share of USD 2.80 to USD 2.87. For fiscal third-quarter 2027, the company expects adjusted operating income growth of 2.00 percent to 4.00 percent, a slower range than the full-year outlook.

Next earnings date is November 19

Zacks lists November 19, 2026 as Walmart's confirmed next earnings release date and shows a consensus estimate of USD 0.63 earnings per share for the quarter ending October 2026. The date gives investors a defined checkpoint for whether the slower third-quarter outlook is offset by continued e-commerce and advertising growth.

Walmart's market capitalization was USD 827.0 billion as of September 30, 2026, while its USD 98.88 to USD 135.16 52-week range places the Lang & Schwarz euro quote within the corresponding primary-market valuation band after currency adjustment. The stock's reference quote was EUR 92.53 at Lang & Schwarz on October 1, 2026 at 3:15 p.m. CEST, versus the EUR 92.42 prior close and a plus 0.12 percent daily change.
