Walmart (WMT) shares are 7% lower after it missed analyst earnings estimates by a wide margin, hurt by higher costs for fuel and overstaffing. The retailer did raise its sales outlook for the year.

Shoppers spent a lot of dosh buying TSCO stock yesterday the daily Average Volume was up by over 56% @ 34m while the Ex-Dividend/Earning dates are not until 19 May and 17 June. From a technical point, this is the first daily and weekly price close above the 3 MA's (long/mid/short term) since mid-February. Fundamentals are very encouraging with strong EPS growth from 5p to 22p since the 2016 share price low. This price offer may have some trolley legs and a return above 300 may be just around the next aisle. IMOO DYOR

Dartron like your chart hope your hand is ok ;-) > I expect a 'bounce' here soon if 28/32p holds as resistance the 'gaps' have been filled. The interim CEO hinted the start of the new year was ahead with new business especially in Polen 2 years ahead of their plans. The overall markets are lousy the worst April close since 2020 as the headwinds play out (Rising inflation/interest rates and the war) hope for SP support soon and some sideways Price Action building a base soon going into the 2nd half of the year which is their peak earnings season.

Boeing Down Nearly 9%, on Pace for Largest Percent Decrease Since June 2020

Owl85 this is in addition to the current £500m buyback program of which only 300m had been satisfied at the time of the announcement so effectively there is demand from a hungry buyer for £ 950m that needs to be fed before Easter 2023 or spoon-fed at the average rate of £ 19.75m per week which is only about 10% of the average daily volume (20.88m) - the capital reduction should bring it well below 7 Billion which in turn shall increase the cake size for the dividends yum yum ??

Stein said the regulatory "process has been kicked off, and will likely be complete in the middle of 2024.

Sorry, FredRubble's fat finger hit the wrong key! Happy Easter ??

Splice I fully agree not a sensible idea if they go down that road who knows where the remaining long term shareholders may stand in that scenario.

AV53 > I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT POINT THEY SEEM TO HAVE FOUND A SOLID BUSINESS FOUNDATION TO KEEP THE COMPETITORS AT BAY WHILST STILL GROWING TRACTION MAY IT LONG CONTINUE AND WE COULD SOON BE TALKING HIGH 5 ??????

jotellar ''It does not matter if there is an increase in military spending going to RR if the cost of production and parts is also increasing.'' It's called inflation and is built into the costs just adding to the revenue stream. It does look like you have a short line on the go where are short from?

'JPMorgan said it was concerned Rolls-Royce’s new markets division did not offer long-term benefits to investors.' Meanwhile, there is increased worldwide spending on defence as a result of the conflict in Ukraine followed by takeoff on SMB and Electric powered planes getting ready for lift-off are not considered long-term benefits to investors! Unfortunately, the institutions listen to these *ankers and as a result, the SP is not reaching the altitude required to gain traction by the masses however meantime the engine flying hours are ticking higher and higher with the number of total flights (7-day moving average) 169k versus 182k in 2019 i.e. only 7% 13k short just ahead of the peak summer travel season..

Gohanito - I agree the bottom line SP has suffered due to the exceptional charge of £ 2.6 m resulting from the delay moving into their prime warehouse in Southampton. The adjusted EPS was 3.68 (compared with 3.84 in 2020) plus the Dividend got a (temporarily) haircut to 1.1 (1.5 in 2020) with the potential for a special Dividend in the 2nd half of the year.

Thanks, Dartron, I agree they are somewhat shielded from the inflation risks if anything the increase in freight costs as a result of inflation will add to their bottom line with increased turnover and thus more revenue. The one-off costs for the new Southampton warehouse were probably the only big distractions

Anyone able to explain the 80% fall in eps?

Softrock fully agree very valid point indeed unless it's already baked into the cake for the new incoming investors my guess is as raxfactor rightly indicated the recent stagnant sp has been a result of this potential known of oncoming supply

JDT add in the dog knows best and we have potential vertical lift-off as they are always on alert even before we humans get any hint of what is in the air..

That could be is his Sunak downfall as Boris do not tolerate such fools within his own ranks in my opinion.

Well, has Sunak got any reliable alternative if so why has the word not been spread yet?

Falky - Yes they sat or have got the cat in amongst the pigeons that is for sure. I am still holding and have been since floatation in the early 1980s awaiting the push or 'trust' from transformation into SMR and ELECTRIC power systems for the Air Industry along with the pick up into defence orders overseas as a direct result of the conflict in Ukraine to me this is the bristish TESLA in the AIR.

Perfect timing for SMR rollout Boris and his government needs to show real commitment for an alternative energy source when/ if the UK abandons the UK dependence on alternative Russian Oil & Gas supply due to the war in Ukraine.
