Walmart shares slipped about 1% in U.S. pre-market trading on Thursday as investors awaited the world’s largest retailer’s fiscal second-quarter results, scheduled for release before the opening bell. Analysts surveyed by LSEG expect the Bentonville, Arkansas-based company to post earnings of $0.74 a share on revenue of roughly $176 billion. Walmart has told investors to look for quarterly net-sales growth of 3.5% to 4.5%. For the full fiscal year, management projects revenue growth of 3% to 4% and adjusted profit between $2.50 and $2.60 per share. The report will provide a fresh read on U.S. consumer demand as higher import duties ripple through supply chains. Chief Financial Officer John David Rainey warned in May that the latest round of tariffs was too large for retailers or suppliers to absorb entirely, forcing Walmart to raise prices on selected items. About one-third of the company’s U.S. merchandise is sourced from abroad, with China, Mexico, Canada, Vietnam and India among its largest import markets.
