Walmart reported second-quarter results showing a significant slowdown in U.S. comparable sales, which grew by 2.6%. This marked the company’s weakest comparable-sales growth in over six years and fell below analyst expectations of approximately 3.7% to 3.8%. The slowdown prompted concerns regarding American consumer spending amid elevated household and fuel costs.

While comparable sales lagged, other segments grew, including U.S. e-commerce (up 24%), advertising revenue (up 38%), and membership revenue (up 17%). Total revenue reached approximately $187.9 billion, a 5.9% year-over-year increase, and adjusted earnings of $0.81 per share exceeded the Wall Street forecast of $0.74 per share.

Following the initial report, market reaction saw shares fall roughly 9%. By September 18, 2026, the stock was trading at 106.73 USD. Despite the volatility, the consensus price target for the stock remained at 131.88 USD.
