Shares in Walmart Inc (symbol ‘WMT’) made a relatively aggressive rally in October and November only to lose some of these gains in December until early February. Currently the price seems to be making a correction to the upside but the real question is if this is actually a correction or a new bull run. The company’s earnings report for the fiscal quarter ending January 2023 is set to be released on Tuesday 21st of February, before market open. The consensus EPS for Q1 is $1,51 compared to Q1 2022’s $1,53.
‘Walmart announced recently they are closing down 7 underperforming stores across 3 states. The retail giant is taking measures to be at its prime especially after continuous decline in its share price in the last couple of months.’ said Antreas Themistokleous, an analyst at Exness 'The current ratio of the company (its ability to repay short-term liabilities) is at 93% which is negative news for the investors since a good ratio would be above 100%.
On the technical side the price is trading exactly on the upper band of the Bollinger bands indicating great volatility for the company share and also trading above all moving averages and the daily bullish trendline.
The Stochastic oscillator is moving up but not in the extreme overbought level just yet so a continuation to the upside for the price is very likely. If this is the case then we might see some resistance around the $148 area which is just above the 23.6% of the daily Fibonacci retracement level.
In the case of a move down the first point of support will be possibly seen around the $141 area just above 50% of the Fibonacci and the 100-day moving average.
