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.

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

  • Despite its strong market presence, Walmart faces intense competition from both traditional retailers and eCommerce giants, which could pressure margins and market share.
  • The recent earnings miss may raise concerns about the company's ability to meet growth expectations, potentially leading to volatility in stock performance.
  • Walmart's significant reliance on the U.S. market exposes it to economic fluctuations and changes in consumer spending patterns, which could impact overall sales.
