What are Wall Street analysts saying about Walmart stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Walmart stock:
  • 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Walmart has underperformed the industry over the past six months, thanks to the company’s sluggish gross margins. Notably, the company’s gross margin remained pressurized owing to impacts from growing e-commerce operations, price investments and higher markdowns. Unfortunately, management expects margins to remain pressurized in fiscal 2019. Additionally, Walmart’s recent move to acquire majority stake in Flipkart is also expected to weigh on margins and hurt profitability. Also, the rate of e-commerce growth slowed down sequentially, as Jet.com’s buyout was already factored in last year. On the flip side, Walmart strength as an omnichannel retail is quite impressive. The company’s robust e-commerce initiatives, like buyouts, alliances, online grocery and improved delivery systems have been working well. These trends helped Walmart post its 14th straight quarter of U.S. comps growth in fourth-quarter fiscal 2018." (5/14/2018)
  • 2. Guggenheim analysts commented, "We believe the announcement is a logical step for WMT to continue to pursue the strategic vision of leaders Doug McMillon and Brett Biggs. The deal aligns with the company’s strategic framework Walmart laid out last October. Additionally, today’s announcement demonstrates WMT’s willingness to embrace technology and find unique ways to serve customers/drive growth, in our view. WMT is committed to transforming its International business, while building innovative partnerships to deliver scale and capabilities. We would note recent examples including partnerships with International players including JD.com in China and Rakuten in Japan. While it may take some time, the deal will free up capital for the company to redirect elsewhere. Upon completion of the deal, WMT would hold 42% of the share capital of the combined business, while also receiving ~£2.975bn in cash (~$4.1bn)." (4/30/2018)
