| Aug 28, 2026 | mda_quarterly | Walmart’s total revenues for the quarter ended July 31, 2026, rose 5.9% to $187.9 billion, with operating income increasing 28.8% to $9.4 billion. Growth was driven by strong transaction volumes and a 23% surge in global eCommerce sales, led by store-fulfilled delivery. The gross profit rate expanded by 96 basis points to 25.4%, significantly boosted by a $2.9 billion tariff refund from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, alongside digital advertising growth. Walmart U.S. comparable sales grew 3.3%, led by grocery, though partially offset by regulatory price caps on prescription drugs. Walmart International net sales jumped 12.8% to $35.2 billion, supported by strong performance in Mexico, China, and Canada, plus a $1.5 billion currency tailwind. Sam's Club U.S. comparable sales rose 8.6%, aided by fuel and grocery. First-half free cash flow declined to $5.5 billion, reflecting a $2.8 billion increase in capital expenditures to $14.2 billion, focused on supply chain automation and store remodels. Key risks include rising self-insured liability claims and ongoing regulatory scrutiny, such as Flipkart's foreign direct investment and antitrust investigations in India, and a Spark Driver platform settlement. |
| May 29, 2026 | mda_quarterly | Total revenues increased 7.3% to $177.8 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2027, with net sales rising 7.1% to $175.7 billion. Operating income grew 5.0% to $7.5 billion, and diluted EPS rose to $0.67. Growth was underpinned by strong comparable sales in grocery and general merchandise, with Walmart U.S. and Sam's Club U.S. seeing increases of 4.3% and 5.9%, respectively. eCommerce net sales surged 26% to $8.5 billion, primarily driven by store- and club-fulfilled delivery. Walmart International net sales grew 18.0%, aided by a $2.3 billion currency fluctuation benefit. Gross profit rates improved through merchandise mix shifts and higher-margin advertising revenue, though gains were partially offset by $0.2 billion in reorganization charges and rising associate healthcare costs. Capital expenditures rose to $6.7 billion, focusing on automation and supply chain, resulting in negative free cash flow of $1.9 billion. The company initiated a new $30 billion share repurchase program and increased the annual dividend to $0.99 per share. Material risks include global tariffs, inflationary pressures, and ongoing legal proceedings regarding opioid distribution, the Spark Driver platform, and antitrust investigations in Mexico and India. |
