Walmart stock gained 1.24 percent to USD 106.38 on Nasdaq on October 6, 2026, as the retailer's consensus target remained 23.8 percent above the intraday price. The move puts the shares at USD 28.78 below the 52-week high of USD 135.16.
Consensus target stays higher
According to MarketBeat on October 5, 2026, Walmart carried a Moderate Buy consensus from 39 analysts, including three Strong Buy, 32 Buy and four Hold ratings. The average target was USD 131.74, which places the target 23.8 percent above the USD 106.38 price used for the comparison.
The same MarketBeat report said UBS cut its target from USD 141.00 to USD 130.00 and JPMorgan reduced its target from USD 137.00 to USD 125.00 on August 21, 2026. Those reductions show why the average target alone does not remove valuation risk.
Q2 revenue rose 5.9 percent
Walmart's fiscal Q2 FY2027, ended July 31, 2026, produced USD 187.94 billion in revenue, up 5.9 percent from the year-earlier quarter, according to MarketBeat. Adjusted EPS was USD 0.81 against consensus of USD 0.74, a USD 0.07 beat, while GAAP diluted EPS was USD 0.80.
The company also set fiscal Q3 FY2027 adjusted EPS guidance at USD 0.62 to USD 0.64 and fiscal-year adjusted EPS guidance at USD 2.80 to USD 2.87. The contrast matters: the latest quarter exceeded expectations, but the next-quarter range points to a lower earnings level than the recent adjusted result.
Next report date is November 18
Walmart's next earnings date is November 18, 2026, according to Ticker Terminal. For investors, the upcoming report will provide the next test of the Q3 guidance range and the company's ability to convert revenue growth into earnings growth.
