Adventurous traders typically prefer hot tech innovators for obvious reasons. However, big-box retailer Walmart Inc (NYSE:WMT) deserves a closer inspection. While it's not the most exciting enterprise available, notable fluctuations in market behavior can potentially signal relatively strong moves. Further, the company's upcoming third-quarter earnings report could add an extra kick for WMT stock.
On Nov. 20, Walmart is scheduled to release its financial report, with analysts anticipating earnings of 60 cents per share on revenue of $175.9 billion. In the year-ago quarter, the big-box retailer delivered earnings per share of 58 cents on sales of $169.59 billion, beating the consensus view of 53 cents and a top-line print of $167.72 billion.
