Walmex stock was trading at MXN 46.81 on the BMV on October 7, 2026, up 0.36 percent from the previous close at 8:46 a.m. CST. The next major checkpoint is October 27, 2026, when the retailer is scheduled to report third-quarter results.

Q2 growth stayed modest

According to Merca2.0 on September 16, 2026, consolidated second-quarter revenue increased 1.9 percent year over year to MXN 250.95 billion. Net income declined 0.7 percent to MXN 11.15 billion, leaving net margin at 4.4 percent.

The comparison matters because revenue growth remained positive while earnings moved in the opposite direction. EBITDA reached MXN 23.64 billion, up 0.6 percent, but the EBITDA margin declined 10 basis points to 9.4 percent in the second quarter.

Consumer caution shapes the outlook

Merca2.0 reported that average ticket size increased 2.9 percent, while transactions fell 1.1 percent from the second quarter of 2025. The figures point to higher spending per purchase but weaker customer frequency, a combination that puts pressure on the retailer's operating leverage.

For the first half of 2026, revenue reached MXN 495.97 billion, up 1.8 percent on a reported basis and 3.6 percent in constant currency, according to Merca2.0. In Mexico, quarterly revenue rose 3.1 percent to MXN 209.19 billion, while same-store sales increased 1.8 percent.

October results set the next test

The Walmex investor-relations calendar lists October 27, 2026, for the third-quarter report. That release should show whether store expansion and higher ticket sizes can offset softer transaction volumes.

Yahoo Finance lists an average analyst target of MXN 58.04 for Walmex, with a low of MXN 42.00 and a high of MXN 81.00, against a displayed current value of MXN 46.63 on its October 6, 2026 page. The target range therefore remains wide, reflecting different views on consumer demand and margin recovery.

Walmex stock stays below its yearly high
