Walmart stock stood at USD 110.53 on Nasdaq on September 23, 2026, up 0.37 percent from the prior session. The price was 18.23 percent below its 52-week high of USD 135.16, placing the retailer's USD 879.61 billion market capitalization below the USD 1 trillion level reached earlier in 2026.

Q2 revenue reaches USD 187.94 billion

Walmart's fiscal second quarter ended July 31, 2026, with total revenue of USD 187.94 billion, a 5.9 percent year-over-year increase, according to Moomoo. Net sales rose to USD 186.1 billion, while membership and other income reached USD 1.8 billion.

The earnings mix was less uniform than the top line. Operating profit increased 28.8 percent to USD 9.4 billion, but consolidated net income declined 8.7 percent to USD 6.5 billion, while diluted EPS fell to USD 0.80 from USD 0.88 in the year-earlier quarter.

Digital growth offsets earnings pressure

The same Q2 report showed Walmart U.S. comparable sales growth of 3.3 percent and Sam's Club U.S. comparable sales growth of 8.6 percent. Global e-commerce growth and a 11.2 percent increase in membership and other income supported revenue, while equity investment losses weighed on net income.

For investors, the key distinction is between sales expansion and earnings quality. Revenue grew 5.9 percent, yet GAAP diluted EPS moved in the opposite direction, making the USD 0.80 figure more important than the headline sales gain when evaluating the quarter.

September 24 adds an investor checkpoint

Walmart leadership was scheduled to participate in the Wells Fargo Consumer Conference on September 24, 2026, according to Walmart. The event gives investors a dated opportunity to assess how management frames digital growth, margins and the balance between revenue gains and reported earnings.

Walmart stock stood at USD 110.53 on Nasdaq on September 23, 2026. Its 52-week range was USD 98.88 to USD 135.16, while the daily change was positive at 0.37 percent.
