Walmart (WMT) will announce its first quarter earnings results for fiscal 2026 on May 15. While WMT stock came under pressure following soft guidance, it has still managed to post gains so far in 2025. Analysts, too, remain upbeat about Walmart’s prospects heading into this earnings report.
Notably, Walmart could continue to expand its top and bottom lines. However, Q1 comparisons to last year are tough due to factors like the leap year effect, which will remain a 1% drag on sales growth. Additionally, the timing of Easter, which shifted sales into the second quarter, especially in the company’s Walmex operations, will further impact Q1 growth rate.
