Breaking: Walmart Set To Report Earnings Before the BellWalmart will report fiscal fourth-quarter earnings before the bell on Thursday.
Walmart (NYSE: NYSE:WMT ) will report its latest quarterly earnings before the bell on Thursday, as investors try to parse whether softer retail sales in January were a blip or a bigger warning sign.
As Walmart (NYSE: NYSE:WMT ) is the top grocer in the U.S., investors often view it as a pivot of consumer health. The company will report its holiday-season results and is expected to give a forecast for the year ahead. Its leaders may also preview how they see the economic backdrop in the U.S. and weigh in on the potential effect of federal policy decisions, such as tariffs.
According to a survey of analysts by LSEG, here’s what Wall Street expects for the big-box retailer’s fiscal fourth quarter,:
Earnings per share: 64 cents
Revenue: $180.01 billion
Retail sales for January came in weaker than expected, setting off alarm bells for some investors. The metric dropped 0.9% for the month, which was below the Dow Jones estimate for a 0.2% decline.
Holiday data came in strong across the retail industry, as sales rose 3.8% year over year to total $964.4 billion in November and December, according to the National Retail Federation. The trend reflected a return to more typical pre-pandemic gains. Average sales growth during the holiday season was 3.6% from 2010 to 2019, according to NRF data, but shot up during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Some unique factors could work in Walmart’s favor, regardless of the economic backdrop. The big-box retailer’s online sales have been climbing, with 10 straight quarters of double-digit gains. Its advertising business and third-party marketplace are small compared to Amazon’s, but the segments have posted gains and driven higher margins than Walmart’s retail business.
Furthermore, Walmart has attracted more customers with higher incomes. Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said in November that households earning more than $100,000 drove 75% of market share gains in the third quarter.
Simeon Gutman, a retail analyst for Morgan Stanley, raised Walmart’s price target to $153 on Tuesday, pointing to the retailer’s newer and more profitable moneymakers including its advertising business and subscription-based membership program Walmart+.
Technical Outlook
As of Wednesday’s close, shares of Walmart are up about 83% over the past year. Shares closed on Wednesday at $104.00, up about 15% so far this year and outpacing the approximately 4% gains of the S&P 500 during the same period.
As of the time of writing, NYSE:WMT is trading down 0.54% on Thursday's premarket trading. NYSE:WMT ' shares has an RSI of 70 which is somewhat oversold but it hints at a potential bullish surge amidst a falling wedge pattern and as traders awaits earnings reports, a positive earnings beat could send NYSE:WMT on a bullish spree similarly, should selling pressure surmount, the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level is serving as support point for Walmart shares (NYSE: NYSE:WMT )
Walmart Earnings Trade Setup: Two Key Levels to WatchWalmart ( NYSE:WMT ) has earnings coming up tomorrow, and I’m eyeing two potential trade setups depending on how the market reacts.
Bullish Scenario : If Walmart pumps post-earnings, I’m targeting a move up to $115. Momentum could easily carry it to this key resistance level.
Bearish Pullback & Reversal : If Walmart sells off on earnings, I’ll be looking at the $96 area as a strong level for a long entry. This zone has historical significance and could provide a solid buying opportunity.
Earnings moves can be unpredictable, but these two levels give me a clear game plan.
Let’s see how it plays out!
What’s your take—will WMT rip or dip?
WMT Walmart Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t bought WMT before the previous earnings:
Now analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of WMT Walmart prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 110usd strike price Calls with

If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.

100% Gains in Walmart! What’s Next at This Key Level?Hello readers,
Back in July 2023, I pointed out a major breakout in Walmart (WMT) after years of struggle around the $150-$154 zone. Fast forward, and here we are – Walmart has doubled in price! 📈
Of course, this isn't the raw $300 we might expect because of the 3-for-1 stock split, but the percentage gain remains a solid 100%+ from our entry.
What Now?
$100 is a round number, and historically, NYSE:WMT has reacted to these psychological levels. The market has started to range in these level, suggesting some hesitation.
Taking partial or full profits could be a smart move – but as always, the choice is yours!
This is just a reminder and a heads-up to stay aware of price action. Trade smart! 💡
Let me know your thoughts – are you holding or booking profits?
Cheers,
Vaido

WMT Showing Bullish Momentum – Move Toward $99.00 ExpectedNYSE:WMT is demonstrating strong bullish momentum, driven by consistent price strength and support from key moving averages. The recent price action confirms buyers' dominance, with a clear uptrend evident on the chart. The stock has advanced steadily, breaking out of prior consolidation zones, and is now poised to target the $99.00 level, which serves as the next significant milestone.
This setup aligns with the expectation of a bullish continuation, offering a potential long opportunity if pullbacks or consolidations occur near current levels.
If you agree with this analysis or have additional insights, feel free to share your thoughts here!
WALMART Gearing Up for a Bullish RallyNYSE:WMT is trading within a well-defined uptrend supported by a rising trendline. The consistent higher highs and higher lows confirm the bullish structure. The price is currently consolidating near the trendline, indicating a potential continuation of the uptrend.
If buyers maintain control and the price respects the trendline, the stock could rally toward the 102.43 target level, which aligns with a measured move projection.
For confirmation, I’ll look for bullish candlestick patterns or a breakout above recent consolidation highs. However, if the trendline support is breached, it could signal a potential shift in the trend.

Walmart Hits All-Time High, Goldman Sachs Adjusts Price Target.!Walmart has recently surpassed its historical peak of $96 per share, indicating strong momentum in its stock performance. In a recent analysis, Goldman Sachs has revised its price target for Walmart, increasing it from $93 to $101 while sustaining a 'buy' rating. This upward adjustment reflects the firm's confidence in the company's growth potential and market position. Given this context, investors might consider waiting for a potential retest of the $96 support level before committing to a long position, as this could provide a more favorable entry point and reduce the risk of buying at a peak.
Walmart Inc. TP-$94Technical Analysis:
-Accumulation pattern in the equilibrium zone
-Detected behavior pattern (bounces off the standard Ichimoku Cloud on the daily chart and MACD crossovers, which tend to indicate inflection points)
-Harmony
-Momentum
The trend is overextended, so the target is modest ($94). I would dismiss this analysis if it weren't for the fact that assets with momentum tend to give trend continuation reactions before changing their structure.
WALMART: The first buy opportunity of 2025 is here.Walmart has turned neutral on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 52.502, MACD = 0.350, ADX = 31.554) as it is trading sideways on top of the 1D MA50. This is a strong support level that has been unbroken since August 14th 2024 but the sideways trending 1D RSI resembles all times since September 2022 that it crossed under it and then rallied. Consequently this is already a strong buy signal, regardless of whether the price breaks the 1D MA50 or not as, at worst it is expected to trade sideways for another 1-2 weeks and then rebound. We aim for a +22% price increase (TP = 108.00) like the last two bullish waves delivered.

Bullish on Walmart. WMTThere is a squeeze developing on this stock, whether you look at Bollinger Bands or the Band formed by the upper and lower MIDAS curves. If a move is imminent, it is more likely to the upside given the stochastics and volatility indicators. This is certainly supported by increase. One major worrying equation is the progressively dropping volumes as the peaks progress.
We are not in the business of getting every prediction right, no one ever does and that is not the aim of the game. The Fibonacci targets are highlighted in green or purple with invalidation in red. Confirmation level, where relevant, is a pink dotted, finite line.
Fibonacci goals, it is prudent to suggest, are nothing more than mere fractally evident and therefore statistically likely levels that the market will go to. Having said that, the market will always do what it wants and always has a mind of its own. Therefore, none of this is financial advice, so do your own research and rely only on your own analysis.
Professionally, we are big fans of any indicators from Jurik, De Mark and Ehlers, which we use in addendum in analysis prior to putting down positions.
We prefer a combination of at least four technical factors to favor a particular stance. A stance is never decided by this constellation, rather the constellation merely confirms the stance.
Trading is a true one man sport. No single confluence of indicators is truly good enough, and a professional trader's sense must be developed through a lot of hard work and over a significant period of time. Good luck out there and stay safe.
Walmart : First bullish signal! Possible END of the retracement!Walmart (officially WalMart, Inc.), the multinational retail corporation based in the United States, has an impeccable technical outlook, as we recalled in a previous post.
Its trend is clearly bullish (Bull), but on December 9th (red vertical line), it began a retracement phase due to the significant accumulated increase it had experienced. The price has retraced to the first key zone of 89-90 (23.6% Fibonacci) and, for now, has respected it. If it breaks below that zone, the price could fall to around 85 (38.2% Fibonacci).
On January 6th, the FIRST bullish (Bull) signal appeared on the chart, and the price closed yesterday in an important zone, which, if surpassed, could mark the end of the correction and the beginning of a new bullish impulse toward NEW HIGHS. We need to be attentive because a H4 candle close above 92 would give us a clear signal to enter long (Bull).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy to follow:
ENTRY: We will open 2 long positions if the H4 candle closes above 92.
POSITION 1 (TP1): We close the first position at the highs zone of 95.8 (+4.2%).
--> Stop Loss at 88.5 (-3.5%).
POSITION 2 (TP2): We open a Trailing Stop position.
--> Initial dynamic Stop Loss at (-3.5%) (matching the 88.5 of position 1).
--> We adjust the dynamic Stop Loss to (-1%) when the price reaches TP1 (95.8).
SETUP CLARIFICATIONS
*** How to determine which 2 long positions to open? Let’s take an example: If we want to invest 2,000 euros in the stock, we divide that amount by 2, and instead of opening 1 position of 2,000, we will open 2 positions of 1,000 each.
*** What is a Trailing Stop? A Trailing Stop allows a trade to continue gaining value when the market price moves in a favorable direction but automatically closes the trade if the market price suddenly moves in an unfavorable direction by a determined distance. That determined distance is the dynamic Stop Loss.
--> Example: If the dynamic Stop Loss is at -1%, it means that if the price drops by -1%, the position will be closed. If the price rises, the Stop Loss also rises to maintain that -1% during the increases, thus reducing the risk until the position becomes profitable. This way, one can take advantage of very strong and stable price trends, maximizing profits.
BUY OPPORTUNITYINSTRUMENT: WMT
Buy Price: $90.09

Take Profit (TP): $93.58

Target TP: $93.58 is the target price, as it aligns with a strong supply zone, where the price is likely to face resistance.
Earnings Report: Walmart is scheduled to announce its earnings on February 20, 2025. The company is expected to report an EPS of $0.64, showing a 6.67% year-over-year growth.
Revenue Expectations: The consensus estimate for revenue is $179.28 billion, representing a 3.4% increase from the same quarter in the previous year.
Outlook: Positive growth expectations indicate potential bullish sentiment leading up to the earnings release, which could support the trade direction.
$WMT look at my receipt, make sure I checked out; inverse C & HUm, NYSE:WMT up 30%+ for what? Bearish flow, I think this gets a healthy pullback. $85p for leaps could be a nice executing play. Possible inverse cup and handle playing out here. Not much indication on further upside, in my opinion.

Pullback is due.On a phone call the day after Christmas, someone asked me what I thought about Walmart as a stock to buy for someone as a Christmas gift. After reviewing the chart and seeing the inflationary deviation upward, from it's normal upward and healthy bullish trend that looks like a rocket launch, upward at high rates of speed through the top of the bullish trend channel, i said this would not be the time to buy.
Just because something reaches new all time highs, does not mean it won't go higher. That factor is really irrelevant because the bearish monthly wick says it all. It's time for a pullback.
What the federal reserve says and does it very relevant to this particular stock being discussed.
Changes in the inflationary forecast matter. These are the very changes that caused the bullish distortion in price, and when they re-adjust, so to will the price.
It's very clear a pullback is due and now we will watch the market determine what it thinks the new fair price of Walmart to be in this new "lesser inflation" economy.
So to answer the question, now was not the time to buy but when (and if) the pullback is healthy and resumes it's normal upward trend in the long term trend channel I'd back up the truck and pull the trigger if it met all of my BUY criteria in the technicals.
For now, this is not the exact time to be buying. It's time to be watching what price does at former support and resistance levels for signs of a healthier return.
This chart was made quickly and not with much thought put into the artistic visuals, but many of you already know what I mean. As soon as you see that teetering top, you know a tumble is here. Today, I got a call of thanks, as they watched the claw back in price begin.
It was not investment advice, just pattern recognition opinion. (lol)

WMT has been trade around 7-year CHANNEL UP PATTERN since the January 12 2015 High.
The price has finally reached the top (Higher Highs trend-line) of this decade-long bullish pattern and that is easily identifiable by the 1W RSI sequence.
The rally that started on the May 16 2022 bottom is very similar to the one that started on the October 26 2015 bottom.
bullish momentum is just around this 2-4 weeks impact from Trump presidency, but negative outlook from current geopolitical and economically approach, it gonna dip
AIMING it will dip deep and close the gapping again , to return to its baseline price.
thats all
