Walmex cuts 2026 outlook as Walmex stock sits 27.09 percent below its high
Published on 10/07/2026 at 14:39 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSWalmex (ISIN MX01WA000038) was trading at EUR 2.31 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026 at 2:31 p.m. CEST, plus 0.43 percent versus the EUR 2.30 prior close. The retailer has revised its 2026 sales growth outlook while its BMV quote remains 27.09 percent below the MXN 63.97 52-week high. According to El Fondo on September 16, 2026, Walmex cut its constant-currency sales growth outlook to 3.50-4.50 percent.
Outlook reflects softer demand
The revised range was paired with an expected 2026 EBITDA margin slightly below the 2025 level, according to El Fondo. That combination puts sales momentum and margin protection at the center of the next results cycle, rather than store expansion alone.
Second-quarter revenue rose 1.90 percent
Walmex reported consolidated revenue of MXN 250.95 billion in the second quarter of 2026, up 1.90 percent from the same period a year earlier. Net income fell 0.70 percent to MXN 11.15 billion, while EBITDA reached MXN 23.64 billion, up 0.60 percent, according to El Fondo. The EBITDA margin declined 0.10 percentage points to 9.40 percent, showing why the outlook change matters beyond revenue growth.
Next results set for October 27
Walmex's first-half revenue reached MXN 495.97 billion, up 1.80 percent in reported terms and 3.60 percent in constant currency, while net income increased 0.50 percent to MXN 23.65 billion. The company lists October 27, 2026, as the date for its third-quarter results on its investor-relations page, Walmex reports.
Stock valuation leaves room for debate
