Sector Spotlight: Amazon's grocery expansion changes consumer staples landscape
Welcome to the latest edition of 'Sector Spotlight,' where The Fly looks at a new industry every week and highlights its happenings. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. CONSUMER STAPLES NEWS: Amazon's (AMZN) most direct rival in handling ad sales across the web, the Trade Desk (TTD), could be in danger of losing one of its most valuable clients – Walmart (WMT), The Information's Catherine Perloff and Theo Wayt wrote. Last year, Walmart renegotiated its four-year-old arrangement with the Trade Desk, under which advertisers buying spots on the Web using Walmart shopper data for targeting have to use the Trade Desk's technology. The new arrangement is no longer exclusive, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. Walmart is expanding its 10% employee discount to include nearly all grocery purchases, effective immediately, in an effort to help employees with rising grocery costs amid inflation, The Wall Street Journal's Sarah Nassauer reported. Extending the discount to more goods year-round is 'one of our most requested benefits,' said Walmart Chief People Officer Donna Morris in a letter to staff Wednesday. Amazon's Whole Foods currently offers workers a 20% discount on most in-store purchases on the first day of employment, while Target (TGT) offers a 20% discount on fresh and frozen produce and some store brand items and a 10% discount on most other goods, available on the first day of employment. Manchester United (MANU) announced a new three-year partnership with Coca-Cola (KO), naming Coca-Cola as the club's Official Carbonated Soft Drinks Partner in the United Kingdom and Europe. The agreement includes pouring rights for Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Zero, Diet Coke, Fanta, Fanta Zero, Sprite, Sprite Zero, Dr Pepper, and Dr Pepper Zero. Marc Armstrong, chief business officer at Manchester United, said: 'Coca-Cola and Manchester United are two of the world's most iconic brands, each with a proud history of bringing people together. We are forming a partnership that will go beyond matchday refreshments at Old Trafford – creating engaging and memorable experiences that connect our fans to the club in fresh and impactful ways.' announced customers in more than 1,000 cities and towns can now order groceries with their Same-Day Delivery orders, with plans to expand to over 2,300 across the U.S. by year-end. Amazon said: 'This marks one of the most significant grocery expansions for Amazon as the company introduces thousands of perishable food items into its existing logistics network that is already optimized for speed and efficiency. Customers will have the option to order produce, dairy, meat, seafood, baked goods, and frozen foods, alongside the millions of items such as everyday household essentials, electronics, fashion, home and garden, and more already available for Same-Day Delivery on Shares of competitors Kroger (KR), Instacart (CART), Walmart and Target were all lower ahead of the market open on Wednesday following Amazon's announcement. Costco announced July comparable sales were up 6.4%. The company reported net sales of $20.89B for the retail month of July, the four weeks ended August 3, an increase of 8.5% from $19.26B last year. Net sales for the first 48 weeks were $248.35B, an increase of 8.1% from $229.81B last year. ANALYST COMMENTARY: BofA downgraded Target to Underperform from Neutral with a price target of $93, down from $105. Target is now underperforming Walmart on a comparable sales compound annual growth rate vs. 2019 and digital trends 'look very challenged,' the analyst told investors. The firm sees increasing longer-term sales and margin risks given slowing digital sales growth, a lack of scale in digital advertising and third-party marketplace, elevated tariff, pricing and merchandising headwinds, and increasing competitive threats from both Walmart and Amazon, the analyst added. Morgan Stanley, which has an Overweight rating and $300 price target on Amazon shares, believes the company has been losing 'modest' online grocery share to Walmart, DoorDash (DASH), and Uber (UBER) due to price, selection, convenience, delivery, and pick-up options, and thinks this category expansion and effective price reduction is an important signal of increased investment to drive durably faster growth. The grocery opportunity is large, but the extent to which Amazon increases competition could eventually challenge growth or profitability of peers, the firm argued, noting that among all grocers, Walmart has the most demonstrable track record of share gains and that it has been preparing for this risk over the last decade. Evercore ISI believes this expansion deepens Amazon's customer engagement by strengthening a high-frequency purchase category into the Prime ecosystem, increasing stickiness and customer lifetime value. The deeper integration of groceries with Amazon's vast general merchandise offering positions the company more aggressively against competitors like Instacart, Walmart+. By setting a relatively low free delivery threshold of $25, Amazon applies pricing pressure that may challenge rivals' ability to compete on convenience and cost. Given that this segment is a $1T-plus market in the U.S. and perhaps $2T-plus across all of Amazon's global markets, there should be a large growth opportunity here, Evercore added. The firm has an Outperform rating on Amazon with a price target of $280 on the shares. Oppenheimer increased its price target on Walmart to $115 from $110 and reiterated an Outperform rating on the shares ahead of quarterly results. Following a more difficult backdrop to start the year due to unexpected tariff and expense headwinds, the firm believes a positive guidance revision cycle could again materialize soon. Oppenheimer is lifting its Q2 constant currency sales projection to reflect the potential for stronger top-line momentum than it envisioned a few months ago. The firm is now anchored to the high-end of management's FY25 guidance range of $2.50-$2.60. Oppenheimer believes the company could lift FY25 financial targets either with the upcoming Q2 report or with the Q3 print. Benchmark upgraded Instacart to Buy from Hold with a $67 price target. The company's Q2 results and outlook, including a GTV growth inflection, suggest 'it may not matter' whether the company is not sustaining category share, as the firm suspects to be the case, since the company is riding 'a secular tailwind gaining momentum each quarter,' the analyst noted. Instacart continues to benefit from competitive pressures facing regional/smaller grocers that need its platform to compete with mass merchants and online players like Walmart and Amazon Fresh, so the trend appears sustainable, the analyst contended.

Retail Earnings Loom: What Can Investors Expect?
Walmart WMT shares have been standout performers this year, handily outperforming not just the broader market indexes and peers like Target TGT but also the likes of Amazon AMZN and many members of the Magnificent 7 group. With the company on deck to report quarterly results on Thursday, August 21st, it will be interesting to see if the stock can maintain its momentum after the results. The chart below shows the year-to-date performance of Walmart shares (green line, up +11.7%) relative to the Mag 7 group (blue line, up +15.6%), the S&P 500 index (red line, up +9.9%), Amazon (orange line, up +5.3%) and Target shares (bottom line in the chart, down -22.8%). We have also added Home Depot (HD) to the chart, as the home improvement retailer is also reporting results on Tuesday, August 19th. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research We should keep in mind, however, that the performance pecking order shifts once the starting point of this chart shifts to April 8th, when the market bottomed following the tariff-induced sell-off. While Target and Home Depot are laggards in the market's rebound from the April 8th lows as well, Walmart lags behind the Mag 7, Amazon, and the S&P 500 index in that time period, as the chart below shows. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Walmart shares' relatively subdued performance in the market's rebound from the April 8 lows reflects the company's low-beta status and defensive orientation. Today's Walmart has a big and growing digital operation, but the company's merchandise continues to be heavily indexed towards groceries and other essential and must-have necessities. This orientation towards essentials, coupled with Walmart's well-earned reputation for low prices, provides the company's results with a high degree of cyclical stability, hence the stock's defensive attributes. We should note, however, that a big contributing factor to Walmart's stock market momentum over the last few years reflects its ability to gain market share among higher-income households. Driving those gains has been a combination of higher-income households trading down to Walmart in response to the effects of inflation and also the ease of using the company's e-commerce abilities. Walmart has consistently reported market share gains across all income categories in recent quarterly releases, particularly in the high-income category. We expect further gains on that front in this quarterly report as well. Results likely benefited from pulled-forward demand in anticipation of tariffs, particularly in specific categories, such as electronics. Growth in e-commerce and steadily lower losses in that business, coupled with gains from third-party fulfillment and advertising, are some of the other areas that will benefit results this quarter. The e-commerce business in the U.S. is now profitable, and management views it as a significant contributor to earnings for the year. E-commerce accounts for an estimated 15% of total ex-gasoline sales at present, which management expects to eventually increase to more than double that level over time. Concerning tariffs, management noted earlier in the year that roughly two-thirds of U.S. sales were from domestically-sourced products, which gave them a degree of insulation from the tariffs issue compared to others. A significant part of this is Walmart's grocery business, which accounts for almost 60% of its sales, unlike Target, where groceries make up a much smaller portion of the revenue mix. Management has reiterated its commitment to maintaining a price advantage over rivals, a function of Walmart's size, the nature of its supplier relationships, and the increasing automation of its logistical operations. Walmart's value orientation and well-executed digital strategy have been key to gaining grocery market share by attracting higher-income households. Management has acknowledged some near-term challenges as a result of the uncertain macroeconomic environment; however, they remain confident of achieving their long-term plans and targets, including sales growth of at least +4% and operating income growth in excess of the sales growth pace. Walmart has consistently exceeded its targets over the last two years, with sales increasing by +5.5% and operating income rising by +9.5%. Walmart is expected to report $0.73 in EPS on $175.51 billion in revenues, representing a year-over-year change of +8.9% and +3.6%, respectively. Estimates have remained stable, although they have increased modestly since the quarter began. In terms of same-store sales, the expectation is of U.S. comps (ex-fuel) of +4.17%, which will compare to a +4.8% gain in the preceding quarter (vs. expectations of +4%) and a +4.3% gain in the year-earlier period (vs. expectations of +3.65%). A positive general merchandise read will also have positive read-throughs for Target. Same-store sales at Target are expected to decline -3.03% when it reports results on Wednesday, August 20th. Target comps declined -3.80% in the preceding quarter (vs. expectations of -1.91%) and the year-earlier period of +2% (vs. expectations of +1.23%). With respect to the Retail sector 2025 Q2 earnings season scorecard, we now have results from 21 of the 32 retailers in the S&P 500 index. Regular readers know that Zacks has a dedicated stand-alone economic sector for the retail space, which is unlike the placement of the space in the Consumer Staples and Consumer Discretionary sectors in the Standard & Poor's standard industry classification. The Zacks Retail sector includes not only Walmart, Target, and other traditional retailers, but also online vendors like Amazon AMZN and restaurant players. The 21 Zacks Retail companies in the S&P 500 index that have reported Q2 results already belong mostly to the ecommerce and restaurant industries, though we have several restaurant companies on deck to report results this week as well. Total Q2 earnings for these 21 retailers that have reported are up +20.5% from the same period last year on +8.7% higher revenues, with 81% beating EPS estimates and an equal proportion beating revenue estimates. The comparison charts below put the Q2 beats percentages for these retailers in a historical context. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research As you can see above, the EPS and revenue beats percentages for these online players and restaurant operators are tracking significantly above the historical averages for this group of companies, with the variance particularly notable on the revenues side. With respect to the elevated earnings growth rate at this stage, we like to show the group's performance with and without Amazon, whose results are among the 21 companies that have reported already. As we know, Amazon's Q2 earnings were up +37.9% on +13.3% higher revenues, as it beat EPS and top- line expectations. As we all know, digital and brick-and-mortar operators have been converging for some time now, with Amazon now a sizable brick-and-mortar operator after acquiring Whole Foods, and Walmart a growing online vendor. As we noted in the context of discussing Walmart's coming results, the retailer is steadily becoming a big advertising player, thanks to its growing digital business. This long-standing trend received a significant boost from the COVID-19 lockdowns. The two comparison charts below show the Q2 earnings and revenue growth relative to other recent periods, both with Amazon's results (left side chart) and without Amazon's numbers (right side chart) Image Source: Zacks Investment Research As you can see above, earnings for the group outside of Amazon are up +2.3% on a +5.3% top-line gain, which represents a notable improvement from what we have seen from this ex-Amazon group in other recent periods. Key Earnings Reports This Week We have more than 100 companies on deck to report results this week, including 15 S&P 500 members. In addition to Walmart, Target, Home Depot, and Lowe's, other notable companies reporting this week include Palo Alto Networks, Toll Brothers, Estee Lauder, and others. The Q2 Earnings Scorecard Through Friday, August 15th, we have seen Q2 results from 462 S&P 500 members or 92.4% of the index's total membership. Total earnings for these 462 index members are up +11.4% from the same period last year on +5.8% revenue gains, with 80.5% of the companies beating EPS estimates and 78.8% beating revenue estimates. The comparison charts below put the Q2 earnings and revenue growth rates for these index members in a historical context. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research The comparison charts below put the Q2 EPS and revenue beats percentages in a historical context. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research As you can see here, the EPS and revenue beats percentages are tracking above historical averages, with the Q2 EPS beats percentage of 80.5% for the companies that have reported already comparing to the average for the same group of 77.6% over the preceding 20-quarter period (5 years). The Q2 revenue beats percentage of 78.8% compares to the 5-year average for this group of index members of 70.5%. Is the Turnaround in Estimates for Real? Looking at Q2 as a whole, combining the actuals from the 462 S&P 500 members with estimates for the still-to-come companies, the expectation is that earnings will be up +12.1% from the same period last year on +6% higher revenues, which would follow the +12.2% earnings growth on +4.6% revenue gains in the preceding period. The chart below shows current earnings and revenue growth expectations for 2025 Q2 in the context of where growth has been over the preceding four quarters and what is currently expected for the following four quarters. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research As you can see above, earnings for the current period (2025 Q3) are expected to be up +4.8% from the same period last year on +5.5% higher revenues. We noted in recent weeks that estimates for the current period have notably firmed up, as you can see in the chart below. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Since the start of the period, estimates have increased for 5 of the 16 Zacks sectors. These include Tech, Finance, Energy, Retail, and Conglomerates. On the negative side, estimates remain under pressure for the remaining 11 sectors, with the biggest pressure at the Medical, Transportation, Basic Materials, Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, and other sectors. The chart below shows how Tech sector earnings estimates for the period have evolved since the quarter got underway.

Walmart, once ordered to ‘eat the tariffs,' is giving employees a year-round 10% discount to help them eat
In its largest employee perk rollout in years, Walmart is extending its 10% grocery discount to cover nearly all food categories for its 1.6 million U.S. workers—marking a significant boost to benefits at the nation's largest private employer. Announced in a LinkedIn video by Kieran Shanahan, executive vice president and chief operating officer at Walmart U.S., the change is effective immediately and applies both in-store and online, signaling Walmart's bid to support its workforce amid rising food prices and retention challenges. In a separate LinkedIn post, JD Mahaffey, group director and global head of executive total rewards, expanded on the new benefit: Previously, Walmart's 10% discount for employees was limited to fresh produce and select general merchandise, and most grocery items were excluded except during the November to December holiday season. With the new policy, nearly every food category is covered year-round, including staples such as dairy, frozen foods, dry groceries, meat, and seafood. In total, approximately 95% of regularly priced items in-store are now eligible for the discount. All employees and eligible corporate staff receive a discount card after 90 days of employment. The move was prompted by persistent worker feedback that called for more comprehensive and accessible perks, particularly as food inflation has squeezed household budgets. 'We've heard your feedback that these savings make a real difference for you and your families,' chief people officer Donna Morris wrote in a staff memo shared with Fortune. In fact, she described it as 'one of our most requested benefits.' Why is Walmart doing this now? The expansion comes as economic pressures weigh on households nationwide. Recent government data shows food prices for staples such as eggs and meat have jumped sharply year over year. The move also coincides with heightened concerns over new tariffs that threaten to further raise prices across major retailers, Walmart included. More than half of grocery shoppers surveyed in August cited tariffs as their top worry about food costs. By ramping up employee benefits, Walmart is responding to both external market forces and internal demand. It's a strategic step designed to bolster recruitment and retention at a time when competition for retail talent is fierce. Analysts note the company's efforts to improve its work culture, including earlier expansions of training programs, wage hikes for hourly staff, and the introduction of bonus programs for frontline workers. COO Shanahan explained in the company video: 'We know the impact this discount has for so many associates and their families, and one consistent piece of feedback we hear is to look at how we can make our associate discount program even better.' How does Walmart compare with other retailers? With the new perk, Walmart's benefits now align more closely with those of leading competitors. Target offers a similar 10% discount on most merchandise plus 20% off select food items, while Kroger gives staff 10% off house-brand products and other categories. Hy-Vee (a Midwest grocer) and Trader Joe's have even more generous policies, with discounts of up to 20% for employees. The timing of the announcement is crucial, coming just days before Walmart's quarterly earnings release and as the company grapples with both supply-chain challenges and inflation pressures. As economic uncertainty continues to roil the retail sector, Walmart's expanded grocery discount stands out as both a smart business maneuver and a measure aimed at fostering goodwill among its massive employee base. In May, Walmart issued a warning along with its earnings report that it may have to raise prices because of the anticipated impact of President Donald Trump's tariffs. 'We're wired to keep prices low, but there's a limit to what we can bear, or any retailer for that matter,' chief financial officer John David Rainey told the AP at the time. Trump responded by ordering Walmart to 'EAT THE TARIFFS.' This move by Walmart appears to confirm that Walmart can't eat all of them, and it will at least be helping its employees take home something to eat for the pre-tariff prices they used to see. Walmart did not immediately respond to a request for comment. For this story, Fortune used generative AI to help with an initial draft.
