5月15日周四,沃尔玛股价盘中大跌5.04%。尽管公司公布的第一季度业绩超出市场预期,但由于关税压力和经济不确定性增加,投资者对零售巨头的前景持谨慎态度。
沃尔玛当日发布的第一季度财报显示,调整后每股收益为0.61美元,高于分析师预期的0.58美元;营收为1656亿美元,同比增长2.5%,略低于市场预期。然而,公司首席财务官John David Rainey警告称,由于关税导致成本上升,沃尔玛将不得不从本月开始提高部分商品价格。首席执行官道格·麦克米伦表示,即使是在最近降低后的关税水平下,考虑到零售业微薄的利润率,公司也无法承受所有压力。
此外,由于经济环境不确定性加剧,沃尔玛选择不提供第二季度具体的营业利润增长和每股收益指引,这进一步加剧了投资者的担忧。尽管公司维持了全年销售额增长3%至4%的预期,但市场对零售业未来面临的挑战表示担忧,导致沃尔玛股价大幅下跌。
