Walmart stock falls after earnings, profit outlook misses forecasts as US sales growth accelerates
Walmart (WMT) stock fell more than 4% early Thursday after the company reported second quarter earnings shy of expectations while US sales growth topped forecasts. The big box retailer's low-price strategy drew consumers as tariff-related uncertainty pushed them to more carefully scrutinize their household budgets. In the second quarter, US same-store sales grew 4.6%. That's more than the 4.2% Wall Street predicted, per Bloomberg consensus estimates, and ahead of the 4.5% growth seen in the first quarter. Walmart's wholesale subscription business, Sam's Club, saw the same metric grow 5.9%; the Street had forecast a 5.3% increase. The company now expects net sales in its fiscal 2026 to increase between 3.75%-4.75%, up from a prior range of 3%-4% growth that the company reiterated in the prior quarter.

This was the first quarterly earnings miss since May 2022 after the company said it incurred one-time charges related to legal matters and restructuring in the quarter. Revenue came in at $177.4 billion, better than the $176.05 billion Wall Street expected. Adjusted earnings per share are expected to come in between $0.58-$0.60 in the current quarter. For the full year, the company expects adjusted earnings to come in the range of $2.52-$2.62. The Street was looking for $2.61. Walmart called out strength in its grocery and health and wellness categories, driving its US sales growth. The company saw share gains "across income brackets led by upper-income households" in its US stores. In the quarter, Walmart said "like-for-like" inflation was 1.1% in its US stores as it navigates tariff uncertainty. "With regards to our US pricing decisions, given tariff-related cost pressures, we're doing what we said we would do," CEO Doug McMillon told investors on the company's earnings call. "We're keeping our prices as low as we can for as long as we it relates to what we're experiencing with customers and members here in the US, their behavior has been generally consistent. We aren't seeing dramatic shifts."

Around 60% of the US sales are groceries, which are largely tariff-exempt if they're produced domestically or in Mexico and Canada. It has also been leaning into e-commerce and delivery. Walmart U.S. e-commerce profitability continued to increase in Q2, after it turned profitable in Q1. Still, the company expects prices will increase in the second half of the year. "As we replenish inventory at post-tariff price levels, we've continued to see our costs increase each week, which we expect will continue into the third and fourth quarters," McMillon added. "As we go through the quarter, we'll be watching price gaps. We'll be watching gross margins. We'll be watching bottom-line profitability." Walmart sources two-thirds of its goods directly from the US and less than one-third of what it sells in the US is imported from China, Mexico, Vietnam, India, and Canada.

Amazon continues to gain share in U.S. e-commerce market, JPM says
-- Amazon extended its lead in the U.S. e-commerce market in the second quarter, according to JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM), which cited the company's accelerating retail growth and logistics advantages. In an update to its U.S. e-commerce model, JPMorgan said U.S. online sales rose 5.3% year over year in the second quarter, broadly stable with the 5.6% growth seen in the first quarter. 'U.S. e-commerce penetration increased Y/Y for the 10th consecutive quarter in 2Q, up +17bps Y/Y to 21.9% of adjusted retail sales,' the analysts wrote. Amazon's retail business outpaced the broader market. JPMorgan said Amazon's global first-party sales growth accelerated to 10% year over year in constant currency, compared with 6% in the prior quarter. Third-party sales also grew 10%, up from 7% in the first quarter. Growth was 'driven by outsized growth in essentials (~1/3 of units sold), record-fast SD1D delivery… and expansion of the Prime ecosystem,' JPMorgan noted. The analysts estimate Amazon's U.S. e-commerce share rose by more than two percentage points from a year earlier to 46.8% in the second quarter. Looking ahead, JPMorgan projects Amazon's market share to reach 47.4% in the third quarter and 49.2% in the fourth quarter. 'We believe Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) remains well-positioned as the leader in e-commerce,' they wrote, reiterating the stock as their 'Best Idea.' JPMorgan forecasts a slight deceleration in overall U.S. e-commerce growth in the second half of 2025 due to tougher comparisons and potential tariff effects, but expects penetration to keep rising. 'We continue to believe U.S. e-commerce penetration of Adj. Retail Sales could increase from ~23% in 2024 to 40%+ long term,' the bank said.
