$WMT Walmart Q3'26 Earnings Report from
Moneyvize.com.
Walmart
#WMT dropped in pre-market, but investors quickly reversed course — the stock is now up ~6% on one of the ugliest macro days of the month.
That alone tells you how strong this Q3’26 report was. Revenue came in at $179.5B, beating expectations, with EPS at $0.62, also ahead of estimates. Growth was broad and clean: e-commerce surged 27%,
Walmart U.S. comps 4.5%, International 11.4%, and global advertising revenue jumped 53%. Management boosted full-year sales and operating income guidance, signaling confidence heading into holiday. Consumer behavior continues tilting toward essentials, value, and omnichannel convenience — exactly the categories where Walmart is gaining share.
What makes today notable is that Walmart is green while the broader market is getting rug-pulled after a hotter jobs report sparked fear of delayed Fed cuts.
Most retailers sank, but WMT broke away from the pack — a classic “flight to safety reward good earnings” move.
Yes, there were a few pressure points like inventory up 3%, some general merchandise softness and a $700M PhonePe charge, but none of it fazed investors. The market is clearly rewarding Walmart’s operating leverage story, its e-commerce momentum, and the long-term margin tailwind from advertising and AI-driven operational efficiencies.
Today’s reaction reinforces a clear takeaway: Walmart is becoming the market’s preferred consumer staple tech-enabled retailer hybrid. Strong results on a bad macro day show elevated investor conviction.
Heading into the holidays, watch merchandise mix normalization, traffic vs. basket trends, and how efficiently Walmart manages elevated inventory levels — but for now, the Street is giving this print a big thumbs up.
