Walmart stock closed at USD 107.15 on the Nasdaq on September 14, 2026, marking a modest advance compared with its previous session close per Nasdaq data from MarketBeat and other quote providers. The move contrasted with the S&P 500 index, which fell 0.5% to 7,619.98 on September 14, 2026, highlighting a relatively resilient performance for the retailer in a weaker broader market.
September 14, 2026 in numbers
Walmart Inc. (ISIN US9311421039, Nasdaq: WMT) ended the last completed session on September 14, 2026 at USD 107.15, with intraday trading data indicating the close sat within the day’s range and aligned with recent levels around USD 107 per share per Nasdaq data from quote services. While precise volume figures for the session vary by data vendor, available market statistics show that trading activity remained broadly in line with recent days, suggesting steady investor interest rather than a sharp repositioning.
Recent fundamentals remained in focus for the stock after Walmart reported its second quarter results earlier in the week. As Zacks reported on September 14, 2026, adjusted earnings rose 19.1% to 0.81 dollars per share, beating the consensus estimate of 0.73 dollars, while revenue exceeded expectations as well. That stronger-than-expected earnings backdrop helped the shares hold their ground even as the S&P 500 fell 37.00 points, or 0.5%, to 7,619.98 on September 14, 2026, according to Barchart.
Today’s factors for Walmart
Looking ahead to today’s session on September 15, 2026, Walmart trades in a market still digesting higher energy prices and interest rate expectations, after major US indexes weakened on September 14, 2026 in response to rising oil and bond yields as highlighted by CNBC. For a large consumer-focused retailer like Walmart, these macro trends around fuel costs and household spending power remain important context for trading today.
Company-specific news is also part of the backdrop. On September 14, 2026, Walmart announced an expansion of gas savings benefits through Walmart+ by adding CITGO fuel stations, increasing access to discounted fuel to over 17,000 locations nationwide, according to Walmart corporate. This type of initiative can influence investor expectations about membership growth and customer loyalty, and it may be one of the elements investors consider as Walmart stock heads into the open today.
