Walmart Beat Q1 Earnings Estimates, but It Wasn’t Enough

Walmart (WMT) sustained the growth momentum in its EPS and reported better-than-expected bottom-line results.

The graph below shows that Walmart exceeded analysts’ expectations in the past five quarters despite significant pressure on profitability from investments in growth initiatives.
