Walmart tops Q2 FY2027 estimates, but U.S. comparable sales growth falls to a more than six-year low

Walmart reported fiscal 2027 second-quarter results that beat consensus on both revenue and adjusted earnings, according to MSX Research Institute’s daily U.S. equities RWA market note. Total revenue came in at $187.9 billion, up 5.9% year over year and above the $186.77 billion market consensus. Adjusted earnings per share reached $0.81, up 19% and ahead of the expected $0.74. Still, GAAP attributable net profit moved in the opposite direction, falling 9% year over year to $6.37 billion. The softer point was U.S. comparable sales. Growth slowed to 2.6%, below the 3.5% consensus and the lowest level in more than six years. Walmart said pharmacy price deflation reduced the figure by about 125 basis points. Segment data showed Walmart U.S. net sales at $125.2 billion, up 3.5%; international revenue at $35.2 billion, up 13%; and Sam’s Club U.S. revenue at $25.7 billion, up 8.8%, with comp sales excluding fuel up 4.4%. Higher-margin operations kept expanding at a faster pace, with global e-commerce up 23%, global advertising up 38%, Walmart Connect up 43%, and U.S. third-party marketplace sales up 52%. Walmart also raised full-year guidance, but the top end of its adjusted EPS outlook, $2.87, remained below the $2.90 market consensus.

Treasury buyback boost fades in a day as Walmart slump drags U.S. stocks lower

U.S. stocks closed lower after a brief relief rally tied to the Treasury’s expanded long-bond buyback plan faded almost immediately. The S&P 500 fell 0.87%, the Nasdaq dropped 1.00%, and the Dow lost 1.32%, while the VIX rose 7.52% to 16.01. Treasury yields climbed back toward pre-announcement levels, with the 10-year near 4.70% and the 30-year around 5.25%, as investors concluded that buybacks may help liquidity but do little to address deficits, inflation, or heavy bond supply. Walmart was the clearest drag on the session. Its U.S. same-store sales rose 2.6%, below the 3.8% expected by the market and the slowest pace in more than six years. Even though revenue and adjusted EPS beat estimates and some full-year guidance was raised, the company’s full-year EPS outlook missed expectations, sending the stock down 9.15% and weighing on consumer names. Energy and precious metals moved the other way. WTI crude rose about 2.5% to $86.83 and Brent gained 2.4% to $93.78, both near one-month highs, while COMEX gold futures added 0.71% to about $4,577 an ounce. In equities, storage chips and optical networking stood out, with Micron, Lumentum and Marvell posting gains even as large-cap tech broadly weakened.

Long-dated Treasury yields and oil climb again, sending U.S. stocks lower as the Dow drops more than 700 points

U.S. stocks lost ground again after a one-day reprieve from the Treasury Department’s expanded buybacks of long-dated bonds. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 703.84 points, while the S&P 500 dropped 0.87% to 7,641.16 and the Nasdaq slipped 1.00% to 26,067.17, with the Nasdaq 100 extending its losing streak to five sessions. The article argues that the market’s core signal is now clear: Treasury buybacks may ease liquidity stress in the long end for a short period, but they do not change the structural pressures coming from federal debt, fiscal deficits, sticky inflation, and AI-related capital spending. Once 30-year Treasury yields move back toward recent highs, richly valued assets struggle to recover. Oil added a second layer of pressure. WTI settled at $87.83 a barrel and Brent at $93.78, both at their highest levels since July 24, after stronger sanction threats on Iran and shipping risks around the Strait of Hormuz. At the same time, Walmart, despite posting quarterly revenue of $187.94 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.81 above expectations, fell more than 9% as investors focused on slowing U.S. same-store sales growth and weaker full-year profit guidance. The report also highlights sharp internal divergence in technology shares, a rebound in crypto with Bitcoin topping $72,000 for the first time since early June, and renewed focus on earnings and cash flow across Chinese ADRs.

Fed minutes, PMI data and major retail earnings line up as markets gauge U.S. consumer resilience

Global risk appetite improved this week, according to Jin10, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq both reaching fresh recent highs and South Korea’s KOSPI rising 11.5% for the week, ending a seven-week losing streak and re-entering a technical bull market. In precious metals, spot gold touched a two-month high near $4,450 per ounce before slipping toward $4,320 on profit-taking, then rebounding on Friday for a second straight weekly gain. The week ahead centers on a dense macro calendar. Traders will watch U.S. ADP employment data, July industrial output, Fed meeting minutes, weekly jobless claims, the Philadelphia Fed manufacturing index, the Conference Board leading indicator, and a run of flash August PMI readings across France, Germany, the euro zone, the U.K. and the U.S. Euro zone consumer confidence is also due. Jin10 said the key geopolitical variable remains whether progress on shipping arrangements in the Strait of Hormuz can translate into an actual resumption of commercial shipping. On the corporate side, retail earnings are in focus, with Target due before the U.S. open next Wednesday and Walmart before the open next Thursday. Management commentary on demand and the back-to-school season is being watched as an important read on the durability of U.S. consumer spending.
