This is the final installment in our WMT series. We focus on assessing the stock's investment value.
+4This is the third installment of our Walmart deep dive, focusing on Sam's Club — long ignored by investors yet effectively Walmart's third growth engine — and a hard comparison against Costco, the global benchmark for warehouse clubs.
Let's get straight to it: WMT.
+10In the prior piece, we unpacked Walmart's low-cost engine: township-level, differentiated site selection; an end-to-end, self-run supply chain; reverse pricing with EDLP; and a broad private-label portfolio, showing how 'extreme efficiency + extreme cost discipline' made it the king of offline retail.
This piece turns to Walmart's e-comm, the bigger swing factor for its growth trajectory and whether its market cap can leg higher. Dolphin Research will run a hard-nosed, full-stack compare with Amazon to lay out the logic behind Walmart's differentiated breakout.

$Walmart(WMT.US) updated chart. See if price can hold/base here. I still own long time let it rides with a variety of brackets. Some close and some not so much. The ER gap causing a lot of damage for the name for now. I have made big profits on this name from the entry on rungs of the ladder that sold. I have to be careful not to marry this one. I have owned for a long time for a trader. Stops in the machine no emotions or loyalty allowed.

Our elders always gave the classic advice, Just buy and hold the companies you interact with in your daily life.
The strategy makes perfect sense when you look at the portfolio and see names like $Apple(AAPL.US), $Costco Wholesale(COST.US), $Walmart(WMT.US), $ServiceNow(NOW.US), etc. It feels relatable.But then when I look deeper into the account and find heavy positions in $ASML(ASML.US), $Phillip Morris(PM.US), $GE Vernova(GEV.US). It turns out my daily routine apparently involves stepping away from the phone, checking on industrial lithography machines, monitoring utility scale grid electrification, and all of this while I smoke.Has the market finally decided this P/E is perhaps a bit too high for Wally World? $Walmart(WMT.US)

Below is Dolphin Research's Trans of Walmart's FY2027 Q1 earnings call. For our take on the results, please see 'Walmart: Rising oil prices — can the retail king still hold up?'
Revenue beat expectations.
However, surging fuel costs weighed on margins.
+16$Walmart(WMT.US) | 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭: Freedom Broker 𝐮𝐩𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐝, raises 𝐏𝐓 𝐭𝐨 $𝟏𝟑𝟑, 'Strong Q1 Results and Digital Momentum Support Upgrade'
Analyst sees strong consumer demand and digital growth improving Walmart’s outlook.
WMT 1Q27 First Take: On an absolute basis, results were solid — total revenue of $177.8bn (+7.3% YoY; cc +5.9%), beating the $174.8bn consensus.
However, fuel costs weighed on profitability, with OI up only 5%, lagging top-line growth. Full-year guidance was left unchanged and not revised up, which is a letdown for some investors given the 45x+ multiple for an 'omni-fulfillment + high-margin tech services' retail platform. Pre-mkt the stock fell ~2–3%, essentially pricing in a 'good, not great' print.
In detail:
1) Walmart U.S.: Volume acceleration is the highlight. Comps rose 4.1% (vs. 4% est.), a modest beat. More importantly, mix improved — transactions accelerated to +3.0% vs. +1.6% a year ago, while average ticket slowed to +1.1% from +2.8%, signaling a shift from price-led to traffic-led growth, a higher-quality trajectory.
E-comm grew 26%. Walmart Connect (ex VIZIO) +44%, Marketplace nearly +50% (best in 10 qtrs), showing the high-margin flywheel is still speeding up across the board. GM share hit a 5-year high, and penetration into higher-income households continues.
2) Sam's U.S.: Transaction surge, but ticket turned negative. Comps (ex fuel) +3.9%, with transactions +6.2% accelerating further, while average ticket -2.2% as mix shifted to lower-price, higher-frequency grocery and Member's Mark private-label substitution. E-comm +23%.
But OI grew only 1.2%, indicating higher fulfillment costs meaningfully constrained profit flow-through.
3) Walmart Intl.: China Sam's remains the brightest spot. By region, China grew 22.3% YoY, with Sam's still the primary growth engine. Transactions maintained double-digit growth and CNY performance was exceptionally strong, suggesting China Sam's remains in a triple upcycle of store expansion, strong same-store growth, and rising digital penetration.
Walmex (Mexico & C. America) grew 4.1% YoY, with growth slowing QoQ, likely dragged by 3P.
4) GP & OI: Ads help, fuel hurts. GPM was 25.1%, up 20bps YoY, driven mainly by advertising and category mix. On the expense side, higher fuel costs curtailed profit expansion (fuel shaved 250bps from OI growth).
Ex-fuel, underlying profit leverage looks decent.
5) Guide: No FY raise, but Q2 implies acceleration. Full-year guide unchanged (sales cc +3.5–4.5%, Adj. OI cc +6–8%). With Q2 Adj. OI guided to +7–10% cc, notably faster than Q1’s +5.1%, fuel headwinds are implied to ease sequentially. $Walmart(WMT.US)
