10:47 AM EDT, 08/21/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Walmart's ( WMT ) momentum remains strong with the company posting US comparable sales growth of 4.6% in fiscal Q2, Truist Securities said Thursday in a note.

Comparable sales growth at the Sam's Club unit, excluding fuel, was 5.9%, and both US and Sam's sales metrics topped estimates by Truist. Walmart ( WMT ) reported a Q2 earnings miss and a revenue beat.

"The company raised its full year sales guide and maintained its EBIT growth projection," Truist said. "Given Walmart's ( WMT ) market leadership and the scarcity of an offensive and defensive mega-cap, we remain buyers."

Category performance in Q2 mostly mirrored recent trends, including mid-single digit growth in the grocery segment and mid-teens growth in health and wellness, Truist said.

Shares of the company fell 4.2% in recent Thursday trading.
