Walmart earnings preview: what the record says
Across its last 8 reports, WMT beat the EPS consensus 7 times out of 8 with a figure on file, and the stock moved an average of 4.8% on the first trading day, closing higher 2 of 8 times. That first-day move was larger than the options-implied move in 5 of 8 reports. Measured over five sessions, the average move was 6.0%.
Historically, WMT has tended to move more than its options implied. A beat alone has not been enough: WMT closed higher after only 2 of its 7 EPS beats. NextPick tracks WMT in its Grocery & Retail basket alongside COST, TGT, KR and DG, whose prints read through to this one.
