Walmart reported adjusted earnings of 66 cents per share and revenue of $177.8 billion for Q1, both surpassing analyst expectations. However, its guidance for Q2 adjusted earnings (72-74 cents) and revenue ($182.8-$184.6 billion) fell short of Wall Street estimates, reflecting concerns about persistent inflation and higher retail price inflation. Analyst Robert Drbul expects Walmart to meet its FY27 sales growth target of 3.5%-4.5%, with operating income growing faster than sales, supported by its physical-digital ecosystem and expanding high-margin revenue streams like advertising and fulfillment services. Walmart shares fell slightly following the cautious outlook.
