Note: Walmart\u2019s FY\u20192023 ended in January 2023.<\/p>\n

Walmart (NYSE: WMT), the world\u2019s largest retailer, operating discount stores, supercenters, neighborhood markets, and Sam\u2019s Club warehouses, is scheduled to report its fiscal first-quarter results on Thursday, May 18. We expect WMT stock to see little to no movement on a likely revenue and earnings match with consensus in fiscal first-quarter results. Walmart expects a challenging and uncertain year in FY 2024 ahead of inflation and recessionary fears weighing on consumers. In FY 2024, Walmart sees net sales growing by 2.5% to 3%, almost in line with previous years. Its U.S. comp sales are expected to grow (excluding fuel) by about 2% to 2.5% y-o-y. That said, we believe that the company\u2019s performance in e-commerce, Sam\u2019s Club, and other new businesses still make it well-positioned for long-term growth.<\/p>\n

Walmart Connect, the company\u2019s digital advertising division, is the company\u2019s most game-changing initiative right now. This is driven by online-shopping traffic at Walmart.com. The retailer\u2019s ad revenue rose by 30% year-over-year (y-o-y) to $2.7 billion in fiscal 2023. These gains occurred despite the current challenging economic environment, which has slowed sales growth for digital ad giants such as Meta Platforms and Alphabet.<\/p>\n

Our forecast indicates that Walmart\u2019s valuation is $153 per share, which is in line with the current market price. Look at our interactive dashboard analysis on WMT\u2019s Earnings Preview:<\/strong> What To Expect in Q1? <\/strong>for more details.<\/p>\n

<\/fbs-ad><\/p>\n

(1) Revenues expected to be in line with consensus estimates<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trefis estimates Walmart\u2019s Q1 2024 revenues to be around $148 Bil, in line with the consensus estimate. In FY 2023, Walmart posted revenue of $611 billion, up 6.7% y-o-y, driven by 6.6% growth in U.S. same-store sales. In addition, its e-commerce revenue in the U.S. increased by 12%, with the Sam\u2019s Club brand also growing sales by a double-digit percentage. This growth was aided by store-fulfilled pickup and delivery as well as advertising. The company said that e-commerce generated more than $80 billion in sales for the full year FY 2023 or 13% of total revenue. We forecast Walmart\u2019s Revenue<\/strong> to be $633.7 billion for fiscal 2024 (year ending Jan 2024).<\/p>\n

(2) EPS likely to match consensus estimates<\/strong><\/p>\n

WMT\u2019s Q1 2024 earnings per share is expected to be $1.32 per Trefis analysis, matching the consensus estimate. While Walmart\u2019s revenue increased at a healthy rate from an already massive base, elevated costs for goods pressured its margins. Its gross margin dropped from 25.1% in fiscal 2022 to 24.1% in fiscal 2023. It was the same story with the operating margin, which fell from 4.5% to 3.3%.<\/p>\n

(3) Stock price estimate to match the current market price<\/strong><\/p>\n

Going by Walmart\u2019s Valuation, with an EPS estimate of around $6.14 and a P\/E multiple of 25.0x in fiscal 2024, this translates into a price of $153, which is in line with the current market price.<\/p>\n
