Walmart Earnings: 3 Things to Watch
Walmart (NYSE: WMT) stock returns have tracked the broader market for most of 2019 as investors wait for more clarity on the retailer's growth path. On one hand, the chain is enjoying its fastest sales growth in over a decade. Yet that expansion pace isn't being felt in key international markets, and Walmart's U.S. traffic gains are coming at a steep cost in terms of spending on an expensive home delivery infrastructure.
Those clashing trends set up an important earnings report on Thursday, Nov. 14, that will also include management's forecast for the critical holiday shopping period. Let's take a closer look at what investors will be watching for in that report.
