Walmart & Target earning to offer look at consumer health
Investors will get insight into the health of the economy and the state of the consumer with earnings from retail giants like Walmart (WMT) and Target (TGT). Nomura's chief economist, David Seif, and Yahoo Finance Senior Reporter Allie Canal outline what investors need to know. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Opening Bid. Consumer Price Index. People got excited by rate cuts. You got the PPI out. Uh, that was a little hot retail sales this morning. Uh, the prior month, June, was revised up. July was okay. Like, what the hell is going on out there? I thought this economic data was supposed to get hit because of tariffs. Well, you know, you know, you're certainly not seeing that. And and and, uh, it it had been our view that that we we we could easily see that this month. I think it was the view of a lot of people, but, um, when you look at the inflation data, yes, it was a little bit hot, but it was certainly not hot due to tariffs. Um, and so, when we look back at the past several months, sort of, uh, ex-tariffs, um, notwithstanding this month, it actually has been, um, a a slowing of, uh, inflation. You can put the the the year-over-year change up there, but but you know, if you look just at back at sort of where is sort of the rolling three-month average of inflation gone. So so zeroing in on more recent history, um, things had been coming down for a while and only backtracked a little bit this month. Uh, this, you know, for the data that came out this week. And then when we, you know, when we dig into it, the things that caused inflation were really not the things that, uh, that the Fed has said it was worried about, meaning it really wasn't stuff that was related to, uh, to tariffs. Um, so, when when that's all put together, uh, we don't think that the inflation data was hot enough for the Fed to deviate from its, uh, from its SEP, which had, uh, or its summary a dot plot so to speak, which is, uh, for a cut in, uh, in September, and then another one in December. And then, you know, today we looked at the retail sales data, and you can see that the consumer is still pretty strong. Um, I think a lot of the reason the consumer is still doing so well relatively speaking is that, um, even if there's been some weakening of the labor market, some loss of momentum, you're still really not seeing people being fired. Um, you're not seeing companies lay off. You're seeing companies hire less people, fewer people, but not really lay anyone off. And it's when people are getting laid off that they tend to rapidly slash their spending. Um, with that really not being what's going on right now, it it it leads the consumer to still be pretty healthy and still probably willing to continue to spend at a at at least a decently robust pace. David, economists love to characterize economies and letters: Ws, Us, uh, Zs, As, whatever it is. What what type of economy does this look like to you? You you know, it looks sort of like a hyphen. So, I'm gonna I'm gonna I haven't heard that one before. I've been doing this for 20 years. I've never heard that one before. That's pretty good. Well, you know, the economy is losing a little bit of momentum. Um, it's slowing. That was something that was happening already when when, uh, Trump became president this time. And it's really just on the back of the the fading of the, you know, massive stimulus post Covid. So, that's all gone now. We revert a little bit down to to to trend and probably revert a little bit below trend because there is still some impact of the tariffs. But what this isn't, and this is what I really think is is most important. This is not a collapse. We don't see a recession or anytime soon. We don't see a spike in the unemployment rate that would be characteristic of a of a deeper slowdown. So, we're sort of muddling along. Uh, certainly doesn't look fantastic right now with the slowdown in, uh, in, uh, job creation, but it looks far from terrible. Ali, last word to you here. Uh, big week coming up for earnings: Walmart, Target, uh, and even Home Depot. It's these names that are going to put this thesis of, yeah, we need a rate cut or we might get one, I think to the test. If these, uh, results come out like garbage and we don't get strong outlooks, none of that's going to be good. Right, and we've been talking about the state of the consumer, and that really is what all this hinges on. As long as consumers keep spending, if the economy can keep chugging along, that's a good thing. And that really whips back around to the labor side of the equation. We were just talking about how we're not seeing many layoffs at this point, and that's really why we've seen this economy sustain itself at this point. But the results that we get next week, Walmart, obviously, a big bellwether when we think about the consumer, and it's not just the results. It's really the commentary on the earnings call. You really have to take all this data and aggregate, not just the eco data, also the earnings commentary, the results. That's really going to give you the best picture of the economy, and when it comes to the consumer, these are the companies that you want to be hearing from. So, big earnings week to really round out what's been a pretty chaotic summer, yet we still have stocks at record highs.

Target Reports Earnings Next Week. Investors Are Wary—or Worse—About Its Stock.
Can Target turn it around? That's the big question ahead of Wednesday morning, when the big retailer is set to report its latest financial results. Those numbers, along with whatever the company says about its outlook and the state of its business, could go a long way toward restoring investor confidence in a stock that's lost nearly one-quarter of its value this year while Walmart (WMT) has posted a double-digit advance. There's a simple enough reason investors have been cautious around Target's (TGT) stock, which fell in the wake of its first-quarter earnings report and has since crept gently higher. Executives in May clipped the company's outlook for 2025, setting investors up to expect declining sales and lower earnings per share than previously forecast. Wall Street is looking for revenue and adjusted net income to fall year-over-year in the second quarter, according to Visible Alpha data, with same-store sales also seen declining. One measure of the wariness out there: As of today, there's a sell-side analyst with a full-on bearish take on the stock. Bank of America on Friday downgraded the shares to "underperform"—the only such rating tracked by Visible Alpha—and a $93 price target more than 10 bucks below Thursday's close. The wider picture shows a number of analysts with neutral ratings on the stock, though a few still hold bullish ratings. Oppenheimer analysts on Friday suggested buying dips, as "volatile trading could continue until comps return to positive territory." Visible Alpha's consensus target around $104 in line with the stock's finish yesterday. Bank of America analysts said they're less concerned with next week's results than the broader story, citing worries about digital sales, the state of Target's digital advertising and third-party marketplace, and tariff concerns. They also pointed to competitive pressure from Walmart, which reports its own results on Thursday, and Amazon (AMZN), which this week pushed further into the grocery business. "Target's longer-term outlook," they wrote, "is becoming more uncertain." Read the original article on Investopedia

Finance week ahead: Jackson Hole Symposium, UK inflation, Walmart, Palo Alto Networks and Baidu
Earnings season is winding down but there are still a number of companies due to report, along with key economic data and events on both sides of the Atlantic – including the Jackson Hole Symposium. This year's Jackson Hole Symposium will see central bankers from around the world gather to discuss economic policy – an event that will be closely watched by investors for any signals on the US Federal Reserve's plans for future interest rate cuts. Back in the UK, the focus will be on the latest inflation data, which has been ticking higher over the past couple of months. In terms of earnings releases, investors will be looking at results from US retail giant Walmart (WMT), which is considered a barometer for consumer sentiment. In the tech sector, US cybersecurity giant Palo Alto Networks (PANW) is set to report, with the stock having seen a couple of analyst ratings upgrades this week. China's Baidu ( BIDU) is another major tech company scheduled to report, having recently struck a deal with Uber (UBER) to deploy its autonomous cars on the ride-hailing platform across markets outside of the US and mainland China. Here's more on what to look out for: Jackson Hole Symposium – Takes place from Thursday 21 August to Saturday 23 August The theme for this year's Jackson Hole event is "Labor Markets in Transition: Demographics, Productivity, and Macroeconomic Policy". This comes amid concerns about a cooling labour market, as economic uncertainty sees firms put off hiring decisions. Central bankers keep a close eye on labour market data, which includes payroll numbers, unemployment rates, job vacancies and wage growth. This data helps inform their decisions on interest rates, as they seek to balance maintaining labour market health, with ensuring inflation continues to ease to the widely used 2% target. This has been more challenging amid fears that US president Donald Trump's tariffs could weigh on economic growth but also drive inflation higher. Susannah Streeter, head of money and markets at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "Although the effect of Trump's tariffs on monetary policy will be the undercurrent theme, investors will be looking specifically for clues as to the Fed's inclination to cut interest rates going forward." Read more: Analysts' top emerging market fund and trust picks "Bets on a cut in September have increased sharply following a stable inflation reading for July and there will focus on what could lie ahead for borrowing costs," she said. Data released on Tuesday showed that "core" inflation rose 0.3% in July, surpassing June's 0.2% uptick. On an annual basis, the core consumer prices index (CPI) reading came in at 3.1%, up from 2.9% in June. Another inflation measure, the producer price index (PPI) came in hotter than expected in July, according to figures released on Thursday. US PPI for July showed inflation for businesses rose 0.9% over the prior month, well ahead of the 0.2% increase that was forecast. On an annual basis, prices rose 3.3%, which was also ahead of the 2.5% expected. This data dented investor hopes of a bigger 50-basis-point interest rate cut by the Fed. In addition, Streeter said: "How to bolster productivity in an era of demographic change will also be a big focus of discussions, with labour markets around the world in a state of upheaval as population changes, tougher immigration laws and AI developments are set to be hugely disruptive in the years to come." UK consumer price inflation – Data due out on Wednesday 20 August Following a year-on-year uptick in the UK consumer prices index (CPI) to 3.6% in June from 3.4% in May, Streeter said that there is set to be a "steamier inflation reading for July". "The Bank of England is now forecasting that CPI will hit a peak of 4% in September so, for now, it looks like the only way is up for prices," she said. "Barclaycard data has shown that there was an uplift in card spending in July, especially around events like the Oasis tour," she added. "The hot but stormy weather also led to a spurt in clothing purchases. Wage inflation has remained sticky." Office for National Statistics (ONS) data, released on Tuesday, showed that annual wage growth excluding bonuses came in at 5% in April to June, unchanged from the previous three months. Read more: What are bitcoin ETNs? "Although pay growth has slowed, it's now static and is still outstripping inflation, so there's a risk that firms will pass on heavier costs as higher prices," said Streeter. "Unless there's a marked and unexpected fall in inflation, the Bank of England looks set to stay cautious and delay another interest rate cut at least November or December." Sanjay Raja, senior economist at Deutsche Bank ( said in a note on Friday that his team expect headline CPI to rise to 3.8% in July. "July inflation will likely see price momentum rise further into uncomfortable territory," he said. Walmart (WMT) – Releases second quarter earnings on Thursday 21 August As the largest retailer in the US, Walmart (WMT) is consider to act as a bellwether for consumer health, so it's earnings are closely watched by investors. Shares are up more than 11% year-to-date but edged lower after Walmart released a mixed set of first quarter results in May. Walmart (WMT) posted first quarter revenue of $165.5bn (£122.02bn) , which was up 2.5% from the same period last year, though this missed Wall Street expectations of $166.02bn. Adjusted earnings per share grew 1.7% year over year to $0.61, beating estimates of $0.58. US same-store sales also beat expectations with a 4.5% increase, led by health and wellness, and groceries. However, the retailer signalled that there could be more pain ahead. In an earnings call, Walmart (WMT) CEO Doug McMillon said: "We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible, but given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels announced this week, we aren't able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margins." Stocks: Create your watchlist and portfolio John David Rainey, chief financial officer of Walmart (WMT), said in the earnings release that the company had decided to hold off on providing a specific range of guidance for operating income growth and earnings per share for the second quarter, given the "dynamic nature of the backdrop". Walmart (WMT) did guide to net sales growth of 3.5% to 4.5% for the quarter, based on the $167.8bn it reported a year ago. AJ Bell's (AJB.L) investment director Russ Mould and head of financial analysis Danni Hewson said that analysts expect a headline figure for net sales of $174bn. "That turns into a consensus analysts' forecasts for [net profit in] the second quarter of $5.8bn, and a headline earnings per share (EPS) figure of $0.72, up from $0.67 a year ago," they said. "For the full year to January 2026, Walmart has thus far guided to a net sales increase on a constant currency basis of 3% to 4% and analysts' headline estimate for the top line is $699bn," they added. "Management expects full-year EPS to come in between $2.50 and $2.60, and the current analysts' consensus is $2.58." Palo Alto Networks (PANW) – Releases fourth quarter earnings on Monday 18 August Ahead of the release of its fourth quarter earnings, Palo Alto Networks (PANW) has seen two analyst rating upgrades this week. Analysts at Piper Sandler (PIPR) upgraded their rating on Palo Alto (PANW) to "overweight" and raised their price target on the stock from $200 to $225, according to data gathered by Yahoo Finance. The shares are currently down 4.6% year-to-date, with the stock having closed Thursday's session at $173.55 per share. Deutsche Bank ( also upgraded its rating to a "buy" and raised its price target from $200 to $220. Read more: Stocks that are trending today Brad Zelnick, managing director, software equity research at Deutsche Bank ( said in a note on Wednesday that his team upgraded the stock given its "thoughts on the health of the business, quality of its leadership, and forward prospects for the announced acquisition of CyberArk (CYBR)". Palo Alto (PANW) announced at the end of July that it had agreed to buy Israeli rival CyberArk in a $25bn deal. "With the stock underperforming broader cyber by 15% YTD and 11% since credible speculation of the acquisition, we think investor concerns are overblown," said Zelnick. Shares in the Palo Alto (PANW) came under pressure following the release of its third quarter earnings in May, as the results failed to impress investors. The cybersecurity company's third quarter revenue came in at $2.3bn, just above expectations, while adjusted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.80. For the fourth quarter, Palo Alto (PANW) guided to total revenue in the range of $2.49bn to $2.51bn, representing year-over-year growth of between 14% and 15%. Baidu ( BIDU) – Releases second quarter earnings on Wednesday 20 August In July, Baidu ( BIDU) and ride-hailing app Uber (UBER) announced a multi-year partnership to deploy thousands of the Chinese company's Apollo Go autonomous vehicles on the Uber platform across multiple global markets. The companies said that the first deployments are expected in Asia and the Middle East later this year. Baidu's ( BIDU) Hong Kong-listed shares rose following the news, though the stock is still trading just 5.3% in the green year-to-date. In terms of financial performance, Baidu's ( BIDU) total revenue was up 3% year-on-year in the first quarter to $4.47bn, though adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) were down 13% year-on-year at $993m. Read more: EU economic growth slows to 0.2% in second quarter Robin Li, CEO of Baidu ( BIDU), said that 7% growth in the company's core revenue was "driven by the accelerating momentum" of its AI cloud business. "The strong performance of our AI cloud business underscores the growing market recognition of our distinctive strength in providing full-stack AI products and solutions with a highly competitive price-performance advantage," he said.
