Walmart Inc.’s stock rose 0.7% Thursday, boosted by fiscal first-quarter results that beat expectations and the discount retailer’s raised full-year outlook.
Walmart U.S. inventory declined 9% with higher in-stock levels, the company said in its earnings release. “Like their competitor, WMT did see slowing trends throughout the quarter, which is leading to a 2Q guide that is just below consensus,” D.A. Davidson analyst Michael Baker wrote in a note released Thursday. “On balance however, we see the report as favorable and in line with our view that WMT is a name to own in the current economic environment and think the stock should rally on the news.” D.A. Davidson had a buy rating and $178.07 price target for Walmart.
