Analysts expect earnings of 74 cents per share on $176.16 billion in revenue. The retailer has warned of potential price increases due to tariffs, which have already affected some products. Despite these challenges, Walmart has shown resilience through its value proposition, faster delivery services, and growth in e-commerce, including its first profitable quarter for online sales.
