Walmart stock (ISIN US9311421039) closed at USD 105.83 on September 9, 2026, down 0.21 percent from the prior session. The move follows the August 20, 2026 quarterly report, which MarketBeat said showed EPS of USD 0.81 and revenue of USD 187.94 billion.
August 20 numbers set the tone
According to MarketBeat, Walmart reported EPS of USD 0.81 on August 20, 2026, beating the consensus estimate of USD 0.74 by USD 0.07. The same report said revenue reached USD 187.94 billion, up 5.9 percent year over year from USD 177.40 billion.
MarketBeat also said net margin was 3.00 percent and return on equity was 21.83 percent, while the retailer set Q3 2027 guidance at USD 0.620 to USD 0.640 EPS and FY 2027 guidance at USD 2.800 to USD 2.870 EPS. That gives investors a clear split: current earnings strength versus a more cautious earnings path ahead.
