Walmart (WMT) demonstrated resilience in a challenging market, achieving a 1.2% gain to reach above $182 per share, even as the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted over 400 points. This strong performance comes amid investor concerns over stagnant core inflation rates and expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut by December.

On February 20, 2025, Walmart will host a live conference call to discuss its fourth quarter and full-year earnings for fiscal year 2025, with the earnings report anticipated to be released at 6 a.m. CST. As a leading omnichannel retailer, Walmart serves approximately 255 million customers weekly through around 10,500 stores and eCommerce platforms across 19 countries, generating substantial revenue of $648 billion in fiscal year 2024.

Online grocery sales experienced significant growth, with a year-over-year increase of 16.6% in January, totaling $10 billion. Walmart notably contributed to this surge with a 37% rise in delivery sales, reflecting a shift in consumer preference towards delivery services. This indicates Walmart's strong position within the competitive grocery market, where mass merchandise stores like Walmart account for half of the monthly active users.

However, the competition with Amazon is intensifying, as recent projections suggest that Amazon may surpass Walmart in quarterly revenue for the first time, with Walmart anticipated to report $180 billion in sales compared to Amazon’s expected $187 billion. Although Walmart continues to lead in annual sales, the retail landscape is evolving, and investors will be keen to see how Walmart navigates these challenges and leverages its strengths in upcoming earnings reports.
