Published on 10/06/2026 at 10:58 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Walmart (ISIN US9311421039) was trading at EUR 93.57 at Lang & Schwarz on October 6, 2026 at 10:48 a.m. CEST, up EUR 0.02 or 0.02 percent versus the prior close of EUR 93.55. On September 29, 2026, Mizuho kept its Outperform rating while setting a USD 125 price target versus USD 130 previously, as Yahoo Finance reported. The target reduction puts valuation and execution ahead of simple revenue growth in the current Walmart debate.
Mizuho trims the target to USD 125
Mizuho's move kept the rating positive but reduced the target by USD 5, or 3.85 percent versus USD 130. The cited issue was the early-stage effect of shopping agents on consumer behavior, making digital execution a central valuation question.
Walmart's Fall Deals event runs from October 5 through October 11, 2026, according to Yahoo Finance. The promotion places Walmart in a direct pricing contest during the holiday buildup, when sales growth and margin protection must advance together.
Q2 revenue reaches USD 187.94 billion
For the second quarter of fiscal 2027, Walmart generated USD 187.94 billion in revenue, 5.9 percent above the year-earlier period, and reported earnings per share of USD 0.81 versus USD 0.74 consensus, according to InsiderTrades.com. Fiscal 2027 earnings guidance stands at USD 2.80-2.87 per share, while third-quarter guidance is USD 0.62-0.64 per share.
That combination matters because the latest quarter delivered a quantified revenue comparison, while the third-quarter range sits below the prior estimate cited in the same report. Walmart's investor-relations page identifies the latest report as Q2 2027 for the quarter ended July 31, 2026, Walmart states.
Stock stays below its yearly high
Walmart's USD 836.2 billion market capitalization and USD 98.88 to USD 135.16 52-week range frame the premium attached to its scale, based on October 5, 2026 market data. A separate October 1, 2026 transaction saw Executive Vice President Daniel Bartlett sell 3,990 shares at USD 104.41 under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 plan, according to InsiderTrades.com. The sale represented 0.64 percent of his direct holdings and adds a governance datapoint without changing the operating figures.
