Walmart reported strong results for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, beating analyst estimates for revenue and earnings while maintaining its outlook for the full year. However, the company warned that the impact of U.S. tariffs would force it to raise prices toward the end of May, which could have a negative impact on sales.
Walmart's total revenue grew by 2.5% year over year in the first quarter, or by 4% adjusted for currency. Global e-commerce sales were up 22%, while global advertising sales soared 50%, partly due to the acquisition of VIZIO.
