Walmart shares dropped 6.64% after its Q2 earnings beat estimates and raised full-year guidance, but investors reacted negatively due to reliance on tariff refunds and cautious Q3 outlook. Analysts remain optimistic, with a consensus price target of $128.43 (20% upside) and a high target of $155 (45% upside) based on Walmart's shift to higher-margin advertising, data analytics, and e-commerce growth. The stock underperformed peers like Costco and Target despite strong fundamentals, presenting a potential buying opportunity if Walmart sustains margin expansion and market share gains. Risks include margin pressure from reinvestment and regulatory headwinds.
