Current trend

The shares of Walmart Inc., an American company managing the largest wholesale and retail network, are trading at 116.00.

According to a survey of American retailers, such as Dollar Tree Inc., Walmart Inc., and The Gap Inc., conducted by the Consumer Edge Research organization at the beginning of the month, consumers continue to spend money, but more selectively, prioritizing essential and cheaper goods, and reducing expenses. In the opinion of experts, it is related to the weak sustainability of demand against the Middle Eastern conflict. Large retail chains, such as Costco Wholesale Corp. and Sam’s West Inc., subsidiaries of the corporation, are increasingly attracting buyers through special offers, including gasoline at a cost of 0.1–0.3 dollars below the market level, as well as reduced prices for essential goods thanks to the wholesale model and their own brands. Despite the persistence of inflationary pressure, warehouse clubs continue to grow at double-digit rates, and their combined sales in the USA in 2025 were estimated at more than 460.0B dollars. Thus, even if price increases are observed in individual categories, it is compensated for in other segments by discounts and loyalty programs, retaining customers.

The financial report for the first quarter was published at the end of May, reflecting revenue of 177.8B dollars, above 165.61B dollars in the same period a year earlier, and earnings per share (EPS) of 0.66 dollars relative to 0.56 dollars. The dividend calendar for this year has already been approved, and payments in the amount of 0.2475 dollars per share will be made in April, May, September, and also in January of next year. The first transaction took place on May 26, and its yield amounted to a low 0.76% against the average indicator in the sector of 1.54%.
