Walmart’s Earnings Exceed Expectations Despite Potential Tariffs from Mexico and Canada

Walmart's earnings for the quarter ended Jan. 31 were $5.25 billion, or 65 cents per share, down from $5.49 billion, or 68 cents per share, in the previous year. The company's projected earnings per share for 2025 fall up to 27 cents short of analyst forecasts, suggesting upcoming challenges. Walmart anticipates first-quarter earnings ranging from 57 to 58 cents per share, below the 64 cents predicted by analysts. Although global e-commerce sales increased by 16%, this growth rate is slower than the 27% surge observed in the previous quarter.
