Walmart - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

The company maintains a manageable debt-to-equity ratio of 0.47, indicating a balanced approach to leveraging debt for growth without overextending itself.

Walmart
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Walmart for these reasons:

The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 41.12 may suggest that the stock is overvalued compared to its earnings, which could deter value-focused investors.
Walmart's current ratio of 0.78 indicates potential liquidity issues, as it may not have enough short-term assets to cover its short-term liabilities.
The quick ratio of 0.22 further emphasizes concerns about the company's ability to meet its short-term obligations without relying on inventory sales.
With a PEG ratio of 4.78, the stock may be considered expensive relative to its expected earnings growth, which could limit upside potential.
