Walmart Inc.Stock fell despite EPS beat and raised guidance due to one-time tariff refunds inflating operating income.

Walmart shares are trading about 20% below Wall Street's consensus price target of $128.43, with Tigress Financial's Ivan Feinseth carrying a Street-high $155 target that implies roughly 45% upside. The stock fell 6.64% in the week after Walmart's Q2 FY27 earnings report despite an EPS beat and raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $2.80 to $2.87, as roughly 750 basis points of Q2 operating income growth came from one-time IEEPA tariff refunds. Peers Costco, Target, and Kroger held firm or rallied post-earnings, leaving Walmart as the sector's lone loser even though it carries the group's largest analyst-implied upside. Walmart's global advertising grew 38%, U.S. marketplace sales jumped 52%, and global e-commerce rose 23% to represent 24% of net sales, supporting the bull case built on high-margin ad and data revenue. The stock is down 3.81% year-to-date versus an 11.96% gain for the S&P 500.
