11:27 AM EST, 11/14/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Walmart ( WMT ) is likely to post a clean Q3 print on stability of its core markets and steady alternative revenue growth, UBS Securities said in a research note Thursday.
The company is likely to meet expectations for steady comp performance in Q3, which is vital for maintaining market confidence, UBS said, adding that Walmart's ( WMT ) US comp is estimated to remain in the 4.5% region.
The third quarter should mark a reversion to the company's long-term algorithm as the factors impacting its profit growth in H1 have likely faded, analysts said. Walmart ( WMT ) would have also benefited from a traffic surge, given more events in Q3, as well as sustained ecommerce momentum from its advertising growth and marketplace expansion, according to the note.
Maintaining low prices is expected to provide a favorable backdrop, showing the company can offer value to consumers while generating profits for shareholders in a dynamic tariff landscape, analysts wrote.
UBS reiterated its buy rating on the stock, with a price target of $122 per share.
