Summary · why it matters

Walmart reported second-quarter results that beat analyst expectations while issuing softer-than-expected guidance for the current quarter and raising its full-year outlook. The retail giant posted non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.81, exceeding estimates by $0.07, and revenue of $187.94 billion, surpassing forecasts by $1.12 billion. Despite the beat, Walmart's U.S. sales growth disappointed investors, sending shares lower along with Target and Costco. The company's updated full-year guidance reflects improved expectations for the remainder of the fiscal year.
