Why Walmart Missed Analyst EPS Estimates

Why Walmart Missed Analyst EPS Estimates

What impacted Walmart’s EPS? Walmart (WMT) reported weaker-than-expected fiscal 4Q18 earnings (period ended January 31, 2018). Walmart’s adjusted EPS (earnings per share) of $1.33 per share missed analysts’ estimate of $1.37 due to price investments, an adverse mix as a result of a growing share of e-commerce sales, and higher transportation costs.
