UBS has lowered Walmart's price target from $147 to $141 following Q1 results that fell short of elevated investor expectations. Despite this, UBS remains positive on Walmart's long-term growth, especially in its higher-margin digital revenue streams like advertising, marketplace fees, and memberships. Walmart reported adjusted EPS of $0.66, matching estimates, with US comparable sales up 4.1% driven by e-commerce growth of 26%. The company is expanding its delivery reach and maintaining market share through competitive pricing amid a mixed consumer spending environment. Walmart reaffirmed its guidance for net sales growth of 3.5%-4.5% and operating income growth of 6%-8%.
