Analyst commentary and company performance
Recent analyst notes highlight growth in Walmart's digital operations as a core driver of the firm's outlook. One research firm pointed to a 27% increase in Walmart Digital, estimating the business at about $100 billion in the U.S. and roughly $150 billion globally. That view underpinned a raised price target to $153 and a suggestion that the company's guidance of 6% earnings-per-share growth could be conservative.
Other analysts also revised targets upward. A separate firm raised its target to $147, citing robust ecommerce momentum that contributed to sustained comparable sales momentum in the U.S. Truist Securities lifted its price target to $139 and highlighted a strong fourth-quarter result that included a 4.6% gain in U.S. comparable sales. Barclays moved its target to $132, noting unit share gains supported by aggressive price investments.
Collectively, these analyst moves reflect a broader emphasis on Walmart's expanding digital and ecommerce footprint as a meaningful element of company growth and competitive positioning.
