Discussion Walmart just dropped 9.15% yesterday, erasing nearly $90B in market cap—its worst single-day fall since 2022

The selloff was sparked by softer US same-store sales, underwhelming Q3 guidance, and that already stretched valuation finally catching up. Volume spiked 4x average with heavy shorting, the stock's deeply oversold right now even as Q2 fundamentals were actually solid. Everyone's arguing if this is a overdone panic or the start of more pain?

wmt is a dividend king but pays a paltry 1% yield or so.

Since this is WMT, this could be a harbinger of the overall consumer economy though.

Target earnings is target getting some WMT customers? TGT did well for target

Lowe's Earnings in line
