WALMART : Fundamental View and Technical Analysis. It appears that more high-income consumers are now shopping at Walmart, which could be a sign of the growing economic pressures caused by rising interest rates, high inflation, and increased gasoline prices. Walmart recently reported its Q4 earnings, which showed strong revenue growth globally, with sales up almost 8% in constant currency terms to $164 billion. Sales at comparable stores (comp) were up over 8% YoY, while sales at Sam's Club were up 12% and 22%, respectively. E-commerce sales also saw a notable increase of 17% in the US. However, Walmart's growth in sales seems to be largely driven by price increases in groceries, with food inflation rising above the national rate. This could suggest that consumers are buying only the essentials, as sales for other merchandise like toys, electronics, home goods, and clothing have declined. Walmart predicts that US sales will grow a maximum of 5%, and earnings will fall to a range of $5.90 to $6.05 per share. While these challenges are concerning, Walmart still looks capable of continuing to gain market share even during a potential recession. In fact, its strength in groceries is worth noting, with comparable sales growing by tens of percent. However, since food inflation rose in the mid-tenths of a percent, well above the reported national inflation rate, it appears that retail sales growth is indeed driven by price increases. Moreover, more than half of the increase in grocery prices is attributable to high-income consumers who find it necessary to shop in the lower market. While this may be a long-term advantage for Walmart, as many of these new customers may stay with the company after inflation finally subsides, it suggests that these are particularly difficult times. When even high-income households are saving, it's a worrying sign for the rest of us. It's worth noting that Walmart is returning more cash to shareholders than it is generating in free cash flow, which may concern some investors. Cash earnings for the year rose to $12.2 billion, but Walmart paid out $6.1 billion in dividends and repurchased $9.9 billion worth of stock for a total of $16 billion. This is not what investors would like to see from the retailer for a long period of time. If you're an investor, you may want to consider using this opportunity to invest in protective stocks that may survive or even prosper during a downturn. While Walmart may not be a discount stock, it could still be a long-term refuge from any storm. However, a National Association for Business Economics survey warns that 58% of economists believe there is more than a 50% chance of a recession in the next 12 months, with 33% predicting it will come in Q2 and 21% believing it will start in the third. Overall, it's clear that Walmart's strong revenue growth is a good sign, but the challenges it faces, such as declining profits and the potential for a market downturn, cannot be ignored. As consumers continue to buy only the essentials and high-income shoppers opt for discounted groceries, it's important to stay vigilant and prepare for any potential economic challenges ahead.

Walmart in an effort to regain recent losses Shares in Walmart Inc (symbol ‘WMT’) made a relatively aggressive rally in October and November only to lose some of these gains in December until early February. Currently the price seems to be making a correction to the upside but the real question is if this is actually a correction or a new bull run. The company’s earnings report for the fiscal quarter ending January 2023 is set to be released on Tuesday 21st of February, before market open. The consensus EPS for Q1 is $1,51 compared to Q1 2022’s $1,53. ‘Walmart announced recently they are closing down 7 underperforming stores across 3 states. The retail giant is taking measures to be at its prime especially after continuous decline in its share price in the last couple of months.’ said Antreas Themistokleous, an analyst at Exness 'The current ratio of the company (its ability to repay short-term liabilities) is at 93% which is negative news for the investors since a good ratio would be above 100%. On the technical side the price is trading exactly on the upper band of the Bollinger bands indicating great volatility for the company share and also trading above all moving averages and the daily bullish trendline. The Stochastic oscillator is moving up but not in the extreme overbought level just yet so a continuation to the upside for the price is very likely. If this is the case then we might see some resistance around the $148 area which is just above the 23.6% of the daily Fibonacci retracement level. In the case of a move down the first point of support will be possibly seen around the $141 area just above 50% of the Fibonacci and the 100-day moving average.

WALMART. Sees A dip in its FUTUREI am a huge believer non-customary methods using math, geometry, rise over run etc. to find future pricing through patterns. You'll see multiple curves and trend lines trendlines throughout that will make perfectly good sense to you if you use technical analysis. I use some fundamental analysis but nothing other than news related items. As they say by the rumor… Sell the news! Only other methodology that goes into my trading is figure out what you think is a sneaky and logical way for a market maker to manipulate SPY then locate what would be the obvious play spy should… I repeat should move… Then find somewhere in the middle because logic does not go into movement that pays out so much on options :-)… Message if you have any questions I'm happy to entertain them! God bless!!

$WMT: I see only going up from here.Price action seems very bullish. Divergence of MACD and crossing over of 9ema with 21ema is very bullish momentum. For Education: Financial metrics to consider: Revenue and earnings growth: Walmart has consistently recorded positive revenue and earnings growth over the past few years. Gross margin and operating margin: Walmart has stable margins, but they are lower compared to other retail companies due to its low-price strategy. Debt and liquidity: Walmart has a strong balance sheet with low debt and good liquidity. Economic factors to consider: Consumer spending: Walmart is heavily dependent on consumer spending, which can impact its revenue and earnings growth. Competition: Walmart faces intense competition from both brick-and-mortar retailers and e-commerce companies, and must continuously innovate to stay relevant. Demographic shifts: Changing demographics, such as aging population and increasing urbanization, may affect Walmart's target market and growth prospects.

WMT - Broadening Wedge - BearishWMT is currently showing an ascending broadening wedge pattern on daily timeframe. An ascending broadening wedge is a bearish reversal chart pattern. Where the upper line is the resistance line and the lower line is the support line. As we can see in the chart that its moves increase with higher magnitudes. This pattern should be traded when the price breaks out of the support line. In our opinion, it´s likely for the price to retrace and break out of the support line. When the price breaks out of the support line, a short position can be taken and the target can be targeted. All the details are shown on the chart. Goodluck!
