KeyBanc Capital Markets: Walmart reported fiscal fourth-quarter adjusted earnings of 66 cents per share, beating consensus of 65 cents per share. The upside is largely driven by higher-than-expected revenues and gross margin. Although, there was some pressure on margins related to operating expenses, Thomas said in a note. The results reflect "strong execution across the business and continued market share gains," he added.
The guidance suggests a deceleration in profitability, the analyst stated. Management's full-year guidance fell short of investor expectations. Thomas says guidance &#8220;reflects clear one-time items and is also likely to prove conservative.&#8221;
Piper Sandler: Walmart reported revenues of $180.6 billion, beating Street expectations of $180.1 billion. US comps of 4.6% came in higher than the consensus of 4.4%, Keith said. "Comp was driven by both transactions +2.8% and ticket +1.8%," he added.
Management guided to full-year earnings of $2.50-$2.60 per share, representing 2% growth at the midpoint, and falling short of consensus of $2.77 per share, the analyst stated. While the guidance represents "a much-needed reset following several quarters of expectations climbing higher and higher," excluding one-time items, the EBIT growth guidance represents an acceleration, he further wrote.
RBC Capital Markets: While Walmart reported "solid" results, its fiscal 2026 guidance "disappointed against a high bar," Shemesh said.
The operating income guide &#8220;would be +5-7% excluding a ~70 bps headwind from lapping over leap year and an ~80 bps headwind from the VIZIO acquisition," the analyst wrote. Although consensus estimates may be revised lower, fundamentally "very little has changed," he added.
BofA Securities: Walmart reported strong fiscal fourth-quarter results, Ohmes said. The company continued to gain market share across product categories, "as its strong value and digital convenience resonate," he added.
"Remodels, online SKU expansion and express delivery capabilities are driving broad-based unit strength and participation in Walmart+," the analyst wrote. Walmart's gross margins could continue expanding. Expect growth in higher-margin ancillary businesses, like digital advertising, 3P Marketplace and Fulfillment Services, he further stated.
Goldman Sachs: Walmart gained market share across geographies and income levels, with growing transaction counts and unit volumes, McShane said. In the US, market share gains were led by upper-income households. The company continues to see solid sign-up trends from Walmart+ assist, she added.
Management's operating income guidance for fiscal 2026 suggest 5%-7% growth excluding one-time impacts, which is higher than the average of 4%-6% that they have guided over the last two years, the analyst stated. "We believe WMT is well positioned to continue driving solid earnings growth in 2025" and continue improving its profitability profile, she further wrote.
Raymond James: Walmart delivered full-year earnings of $2.51 per share, versus its initial guidance range of $2.23-$2.37 per share, Griffin said. The company's profit mix continues to shift towards higher-margin businesses, he added.
There is upside to fiscal 2026 expectations from "higher-margin revenue streams, improving eCommerce economics, and easing mix headwinds as General Merchandise recovers," the analyst wrote. Although the full-year guidance missed expectations, this reflects management's conservatism and one-offs, like "FX headwinds, near-term VIZIO integration, and strategic investments in eCommerce fulfillment and marketing," he further stated.
Price Action: Shares of Walmart had declined by 2.92% to $94.37 at the time of publication on Friday.

Trump Media and Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>) has taken a major step by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/g43879883/trump-media-board-votes-to-advance-expansion-plans" rel="noreferrer noopener">setting up a strategic acquisition fund</a>.
The Board of Directors approved this initiative, enabling the leadership to partner with chosen investors in creating a fund designed to support potential mergers and acquisitions.
The move aligns with TMTG&#8217;s broader growth objectives, targeting opportunities within the America First Economy.
The TMTG fund aims to pursue partnerships, mergers, or acquisitions with companies that complement its technology and brand.
&#8220;TMTG aims to grow robustly with great strategic partners who share our mission. We&#8217;re hoping to expand our tech footprint even as we branch out into finance and other industries,&#8221; said Chairman and CEO Devin Nunes.

&#8220;The America First economy is a fantastic sector with enormous potential, and we want all its participants to know that TMTG intends to make this market even greater.&#8221;
The objective is to transform TMTG into a holding company with several largely autonomous subsidiaries across various industries.
Recently, TMTG introduced its financial services division, Truth.Fi, which will offer tailored exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and separately managed accounts (SMAs).
These investment vehicles are part of a financial services and FinTech strategy approved by the Board, which involves a $250 million investment to be held by Charles Schwab.

Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) stock gained after multiple Wall Street firms raised their respective <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BABA/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price targets on the stock on Friday</a>.
Among them was Benchmark analyst Fawne Jiang, who maintained a Buy rating on Alibaba with a price target of $190, up from $118.
Jiang noted that Alibaba is undergoing a long-awaited structural restructuring, driven by a rebound in its core e-commerce business, an improved earnings outlook thanks to better investment efficiency and growth reacceleration, and the recognition of asset value in key strategic areas such as AliCloud and Alibaba International Digital Commerce Group.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43846533/alibaba-q3-earnings-revenue-and-eps-beat-eyes-global-e-commerce-profitability-in-fy25-increase-investments-in-ai" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alibaba Q3 Earnings: Revenue And EPS Beat, Eyes Global E-Commerce Profitability In FY25, Increase Investments In AI</a>
Despite strong stock performance year-to-date, Alibaba remains reasonably valued relative to global hyperscalers (~30x forward P/E). With the momentum of accelerated AI adoption in China, the analyst noted Alibaba as a leading player in China&#8217;s AI sector.
Alibaba&#8217;s third-quarter earnings checked all the boxes and more. This includes a notable reacceleration of growth across its core e-commerce and cloud businesses, a return to profit growth for Taobao and Tmall Group, and a clear pathway to profitability for AIDC and other loss-making assets.
More importantly, the drivers behind this core reacceleration appear sustainable, supported by a take rate increase for TTG and expedited adoption of AI Cloud.
To capitalize on this, Alibaba announced an aggressive capex plan, with total capex over the next three years set to exceed the past decade&#8217;s investments. This reflects both the surge in demand and the company&#8217;s determination to lead in this transformative era.
Jiang reiterated that full-stack service providers with strong infrastructure capabilities would be the primary beneficiaries.
Alibaba stands out with its competitive edge in infrastructure, proprietary models, and application capacity across diverse use cases.
While the stock has risen significantly in the past two months, Jiang noted that a structural rerating is driven by upward earnings revisions and multiple expansions catalyzed by technological innovations. Positive tariffs or macroeconomic developments could further enhance the upside potential.
Price Action: BABA shares traded higher by 5.6% at $143.68 at the last check on Friday.
