Walmart's Sales Growth Consistency Will Be Rewarded, BofA Says

Walmart's (WMT) consistent top-line growth is expected to be rewarded by the market, while its digital profit margin acceleration is anticipated to result in EPS revisions over the next 12 months, BofA Securities said in a Friday note.Core customers of the company will likely prove resilient, and a prolonged period of macro volatility and higher gas prices will result in more households looking to more discount-oriented retailers such as Walmart, according to the note.BofA analysts said they project Q1 EPS at $0.65, including an assumption of Walmart US same-store sales of 4.5%. The analysts added that they predict the company to follow its trend of maintaining conservative fiscal year guidance after fiscal Q1 results.Membership trends across Walmart franchises are expected to stay robust amid the company's offerings of value-driven perks such as free shipping, same-day delivery on orders over $35, and fuel savings per gallon, the note said.Walmart is scheduled to release its fiscal Q1 earnings on May 21.BofA maintained its buy rating on the company's stock with a price target of $150.Price: $131.84, Change: $-0.62, Percent Change: -0.47%

Walmart to Post Strong Q1, Extending Retail Lead on Sales Growth, UBS Says

Walmart (WMT) is expected to report a strong Q1, with US sales, profit growth, international strength, online gains, pricing power and newer revenue streams supporting further upside, UBS said in a note Wednesday.UBS said Walmart US comparable sales are expected to rise about 4.5%, helped by more than 25% growth in online sales, though weaker pharmacy trends may weigh on store sales, while Walmart US and international operating income could come in at least near the high end of the company's 6% to 8% growth range.The investment firm expects Sam's Club earnings to be roughly flat from a year earlier because the business faces a tougher comparison, though Walmart may raise its full-year earnings outlook if Q1 earnings come in ahead of expectations, though higher fuel costs remain a risk.Higher gas prices could pressure costs, but Walmart may still gain market share as shoppers look for lower prices, according to the note.UBS kept its buy rating and $147 price target for Walmart.Price: $132.03, Change: $+0.56, Percent Change: +0.43%

Target Likely to Post Strong First-Quarter Comparable Sales Growth, UBS Says

Target (TGT) is expected to post strong fiscal first-quarter comparable sales growth, indicating a "cleaner" setup into the year for the retailer, UBS Securities said in a note e-mailed Tuesday.The market is anticipating Target's first-quarter comparable sales growth of 4% to 5%, ahead of the company's projections and the consensus view for an increase of about 1%, according to the brokerage. The company's comparable sales in the quarter grew 3.9%, UBS said in a note to clients, citing Bloomberg Second Measure data."Despite a tumultuous last few years, (Target's) recovery in 2026 is off to a promising start," UBS analysts, including Michael Lasser, said. "Many of last year's headwinds are now rolling off, including the impact from boycotts, one-time tariff costs, and elevated markdown activity.""As a result, the setup into 2026 is cleaner," the analysts wrote.Target is scheduled to report results May 20.The company is also reaping gains from its transformation initiatives that include streamlining operations and improving merchandising relevance, according to UBS.Based on recent traffic trends, Target may be outperforming both Walmart (WMT) and Costco Wholesale (COST) on a year-over-year basis, though against "much easier" comparisons, the analysts said."In essence, we think the company will report $0.30 to $0.40 of (earnings-per-share) upside in (the first quarter)," the analysts wrote. Target is expected to pass this through to its full-year bottom-line outlook, bringing the updated range to $7.85 to $8.85 from $7.50 to $8.50, according to the note.While the company's turnaround plan seemed to have impressed investors, as its shares have advanced more that 20% so far this year, UBS still sees "significant more potential" for the stock.The brokerage outlined what it called "three elements of the upside case.""First, there is potential for comp outperformance that is not fully reflected in expectations," the analysts said. "Second, if that outperformance materializes, it should translate into better flow-through on margins. And third, we think there's room for the multiple to run higher."Price: $121.50, Change: $+3.06, Percent Change: +2.58%

Walmart Second P&L Seen Driving Majority of Future Earnings Growth, UBS Says

Walmart's (WMT) second P&L has driven a significant upward revaluation of its share price, though UBS Securities said in a note Monday that the market still does not fully reflect the long-term earnings potential or duration of growth from these businesses.The market is debating the second P&L because it has not fully incorporated either the magnitude of its contribution or how long Walmart can sustain its current growth rate.Amazon (AMZN) provides a close comparison and serves as a benchmark for Walmart's second P&L. UBS said Amazon's scaling of its 3P marketplace suggests Walmart can sustain the second P&L's current growth rate for an extended period.UBS forecasts that Walmart's total enterprise-wide earnings before interest and taxes will reach about $53.7 billion by 2030, compared with $29.5 billion in 2025. The firm expects the second P&L to contribute $30.2 billion to EBIT by 2030, versus $8.5 billion in 2025.Through 2030, the second P&L is expected to drive 75% of Walmart's EPS growth, contributing nearly $2.80 to the forecasted 2030 EPS of $5.40, according to the note.UBS has a buy rating on Walmart, with a price target of $147.Price: $130.37, Change: $-1.23, Percent Change: -0.93%
