Walmart Inc. operates as an omnichannel retailer through Walmart U.S., Walmart International, and Sam's Club U.S., combining physical stores, e-commerce, and local delivery. Its revenue model is not limited to merchandise sales; the company is expanding the contribution of higher-margin activities such as Marketplace, advertising, memberships, fulfillment services, and data, while stores also serve as fulfillment centers for digital sales, with 80% of e-commerce orders and 100% of express deliveries in the United States fulfilled through the store network.
In fiscal 2027 Q2, consolidated net sales increased 5% in constant currency, at the high end of the company's guidance range, with Walmart U.S. growing 3.5% and its comparable sales excluding fuel rising 2.6%, Walmart International sales increasing 7.9% led by 9.7% growth in China, and Sam's Club U.S. delivering comparable growth of 4.4%. Adjusted operating income increased 17.4% in constant currency, including a net benefit of approximately 750 basis points from tariff refunds; excluding this benefit, underlying operating income growth was at the high end of the 7% to 10% range.
The available figures reflect the breadth of Walmart's financial base; trailing-twelve-month fiscal 2027 revenue reached approximately $730.3 billion, gross profit was $186.2 billion, and net income was $22.7 billion. In fiscal 2027 Q1, the company recorded revenue of $177.8 billion, gross profit of $44.7 billion, and net income of $5.3 billion, equivalent to a calculated gross margin of approximately 25.1% and a net income margin of approximately 3.0%. In fiscal 2027 Q2, e-commerce accounted for 23% of the Walmart U.S. mix and 30% of the Walmart International mix, illustrating the ongoing shift toward a digital omnichannel model.
The average analyst price target is $129.9, within a wide range of $110 to $155, while the consensus leans toward Buy. The average target is slightly below the 52-week range high of $135.16, while the highest target exceeds that high and the lowest target remains above the range low of $95.6. Conversely, the price-to-earnings multiple of 36.4 times according to the August 20, 2026 report makes the valuation sensitive to consumer weakness and fiscal 2027 Q3 margin pressure, despite the company's increase in full-year guidance.

Consolidated net sales increased 5% in constant currency, at the high end of the company's guidance, while adjusted operating income grew 17.4%. Profit growth included a net benefit of approximately 750 basis points from tariff refunds, but underlying operating income growth remained at the high end of the 7%–10% range after excluding them. Walmart U.S. delivered comparable growth of 2.6% excluding fuel, compared with 4.4% at Sam's Club U.S. and international sales growth of 7.9%.
Investors focused on the slowdown in Walmart U.S. comparable sales to 2.6% and management's warnings about the effect of gasoline prices exceeding four dollars per gallon on consumer behavior. The company also provided guidance for operating income growth of only 2% to 4% in fiscal 2027 Q3 due to price investments and the timing of tariff refunds. News on August 20, 2026 showed the stock declining approximately 9%, despite results exceeding expectations and the increase in fiscal 2027 guidance.
Global e-commerce grew 23% in fiscal 2027 Q2, with growth of 24% at Walmart U.S., 26% at Sam's Club U.S., and 19% internationally. Global advertising increased 38%, including 43% growth at Walmart Connect, while U.S. Marketplace sales increased 52%. Management said approximately half of profit growth came from activities such as memberships, advertising, and Marketplace, shifting the profit mix away from complete reliance on traditional retail margins.

Walmart increased the number of markdowns to more than 11 thousand in fiscal 2027 Q2, compared with approximately 7,200 at the end of fiscal 2027 Q1. The company funded part of these investments through approximately $2.9 billion in tariff refunds and distributed them across food, general merchandise, consumables, and apparel. The reductions initially lead to lower prices and unit growth, while management believes transaction and market-share gains emerge cumulatively over weeks or months.
Fair-price maximum rules and the transition of drugs to generic alternatives reduced Walmart U.S. comparable sales growth by approximately 125 basis points in fiscal 2027 Q2. The company expects an impact of 125 basis points to continue throughout fiscal 2027, while the sales benefit from GLP-1 drugs declines to approximately half of its previous level. Nevertheless, prescription volumes and market share continue to grow, and according to management, the average health and wellness customer spends three times as much as the average Walmart customer.
Walmart expects sales growth of between 4% and 5% in fiscal 2027, after raising the range from 3.5%–4.5%. It also raised its operating income growth guidance to 7%–8.5% and earnings per share to $2.80–$2.87. For fiscal 2027 Q3, the company expects sales growth of 3%–3.75%, operating income growth of 2%–4%, and earnings per share of between $0.62 and $0.64.
