Interpretive context generated from the platform’s current data sources.
Walmart Inc. shares closed at $108.42, gaining 0.95% in the most recent session but reflecting broader weakness across multiple timeframes. Per SID market data, WMT has declined 4.89% over the past month, 9.24% over the trailing three months, and 7.84% over the past year. The stock is currently trading below both key moving averages, sitting 2.56% beneath its 50-day moving average of $111.27 and 10.52% below its 200-day moving average of $121.16, according to Massive/Polygon technical data. The 14-day relative strength index registers at 29.8, placing the stock in oversold territory below the conventional 30 threshold. Walmart carries a beta of 0.641, indicating historically lower volatility relative to the broader market. Average daily trading volume stands at approximately 20.78 million shares, and the company maintains a market capitalization of approximately $921.2 billion, per SID market data.
Walmart Inc. trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 40.21, a premium valuation relative to the Consumer Defensive sector, according to SID market data. The PEG ratio stands at 5.35, suggesting the current earnings multiple significantly exceeds the company's projected growth rate. Per SEC filings and SID market data, the price-to-book ratio registers at 9.59, reflecting a substantial premium over book value consistent with the market's recognition of Walmart's brand strength and operational scale. The company offers a dividend yield of approximately 0.79%, providing a modest income component relative to its share price. Within the Consumer Defensive sector, Walmart's elevated P/E ratio reflects investor willingness to pay a premium for the company's defensive positioning and consistent revenue generation. The combination of a high PEG ratio and relatively low dividend yield indicates the stock's current price embeds expectations for sustained long-term earnings expansion beyond near-term growth forecasts.
Walmart Inc. carries a composite smart money score of 50, reflecting a neutral overall signal, per SID market data. Institutional positioning scores a perfect 25 out of 25, indicating strong conviction among large fund managers maintaining or building positions in the stock. Congressional trading activity scores 12 out of 25, suggesting moderate engagement from lawmakers. In contrast, insider activity scores just 4 out of 25, and dark pool activity registers at 9.4 out of 25, pointing to limited insider confidence and below-average institutional block trading interest. According to SEC Form 4 filings, there have been 20 insider transactions over the past 90 days, comprising 9 purchases and 11 sales. The slight tilt toward insider selling contributes to the subdued insider score despite notable purchase activity. Per 13F institutional filings, the perfect institutional score underscores that large asset managers continue to hold significant positions in Walmart, maintaining it as a core Consumer Defensive allocation despite recent price weakness.
Walmart Inc. most recently reported quarterly earnings of $0.81 per share, surpassing the consensus analyst estimate of $0.74 by $0.07, representing a 9.5% positive surprise, according to company earnings reports. The upcoming quarterly report is expected on May 22, 2026, with analysts projecting earnings of $0.66 per share, per analyst estimates. The following quarter, estimated for May 26, 2026, also carries a consensus estimate of $0.66 per share. Looking further ahead, the quarter expected on August 24, 2026, has an analyst estimate of $0.74 per share. The sequential step-up from $0.66 to $0.74 in estimates reflects anticipated seasonal strength in Walmart's fiscal calendar. The most recent earnings beat demonstrates the company's ability to exceed market expectations, though the elevated P/E ratio of 40.21 suggests the market has already priced in continued outperformance relative to current consensus projections.
Wall Street analysts maintain a uniformly positive stance on Walmart Inc., with all five most recent ratings reflecting bullish designations, per Wall Street analyst reports. On August 31, 2026, Tigress Financial reiterated a Buy rating, while on August 21, 2026, four firms simultaneously issued favorable assessments: Telsey Advisory Group reiterated Outperform, Wells Fargo maintained Overweight, UBS reiterated Buy, and JP Morgan maintained Overweight. Notably, each of these ratings represented a reiteration of prior positions rather than upgrades, indicating sustained conviction rather than shifting sentiment, according to SID consensus data. The cluster of reiterations on August 21 coincided with the company's earnings release date, when Walmart reported a $0.07 per-share beat. The absence of any Hold, Underweight, or Sell ratings among recent coverage actions reflects broad institutional consensus that Walmart's business fundamentals and competitive positioning support the stock at or above current levels despite its premium valuation metrics.
