It can be tough for a company reporting earnings, as Walmart will on Tuesday.\nAnalysts are looking for Walmart to earn $1.21 a share on revenue of $132.2 billion for its fiscal first quarter. That compares to per-share earnings of $1.39 last quarter and $1.18 in the year-ago period, and revenue of $134.6 billion a year ago.\nIf recent history is any guide, Walmart will beat those numbers—but that won’t be good enough for the stock, which has dropped following every earnings release since the pandemic started. While there is a slim hope it could break that pattern, investors have held the retail giant to the highest of standards over the past year, and that doesn’t look like it will change.\nIt’s hard to overstate how much of a boost Walmart has seen from the Covid-19 pandemic. As an essential retailer, it was able to stay open at the start of the crisis—reaping the benefits as consumers stocked up in anticipation of spending more time at home. And even as restrictions loosened and vaccinations offered a path back to normalcy, Walmart and its large retail peers continued to thrive. Consumers, bolstered by stimulus checks and spending less on dining and travel, were eager to spend throughout much of 2020.\nWalmart stock didn’t respond well to those Covid-driven beats, although its shares had a great 2020. Walmart reported its first quarter of 2020, the first reported after Covid lockdowns, in mid-May of that year. The numbers were fine, but the stock dropped 2.1%. The same thing happened in August, when investors fretted that Walmart’s same-store sales were growing at a slower pace than Target’s(TGT), and again in November, when earnings beat expectations but Walmart was rewarded with a falling stock, even if the shares managed to finish 2020 up 21%.\nNot so in 2021. Despite reporting record sales of $152 billion, Walmart missed earnings, and the stock fell 6.5%. Walmart stock is still down 3.2% this year, and that’s even more disappointing when compared with Target, which has gained 20%.\nOn some levels, the comparison between Walmart and Target isn’t an apples-to-apples. With itsoverseas investments and fintech ventures, Walmart is a bigger and more complex company. Target’s smaller size has given it more room to grow, especially as it entered the pandemic fresh off a successful turnaround, pivoting from missteps in its early omnichannel efforts and Canadian expansion. Target’s core customers are slightly wealthier as well, and in turn less dependent on stimulus checks to weather the pandemic.\nThat’s cold comfort for investors, however, especially because Walmart stock might struggle to break its post-earnings losing streak. Multiple analysts have warned that membership sign-ups may be lagging at its subscription service Walmart+. Walmart’s lower-income shoppers may also struggle more with inflation pushing up prices for many consumer goods.\nThe latest round of government stimulus helped retail sales leap in March to a pandemic-era high, while U.S. consumer confidence reached its highest levels in 14 months in April, and both data points mean increased odds that Walmart could report stronger-than-expected same-store sales, which are predicted to rise 1.1%. The company, however, faces tough year-over-year comparisons after growing same-store sales at a 1.3% clip one year ago. It’s unclear whether investors will reward a beat or punish slower sales.\nIf it’s the latter, the stock could still have an uphill battle after the release—beat or no beat.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[{"id":131010750,"gmtCreate":1621816053770,"gmtModify":1634186448784,"author":{"id":"3574897713454581","authorId":"3574897713454581","name":"JCai","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a4408059854d4abfa5d3e8513d447a16","vip":1,"crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3574897713454581","authorIdStr":"3574897713454581"},"htmlText":"Win","listText":"Win","text":"Win","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/131010750","repostId":1124436775,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1124436775","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1621262168,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1124436775?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-17 22:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Walmart Reports Earnings Tuesday.

It can be tough for a company reporting earnings, as&nbsp;Walmart&nbsp;will on Tuesday.<blockquote>经营企业时，高标准是很棒的。对于一家像沃尔玛周二那样报告收益的公司来说，这可能会很艰难。</blockquote> Analysts are looking for Walmart to earn $1.21 a share on revenue of $132.2 billion for its fiscal first quarter. That compares to per-share earnings of $1.39 last quarter and $1.18 in the year-ago period, and revenue of $134.6 billion a year ago.<blockquote>分析师预计沃尔玛第一财季每股收益为1.21美元，营收为1,322亿美元。相比之下，上季度每股收益为1.39美元，去年同期为1.18美元，去年同期营收为1,346亿美元。</blockquote> If recent history is any guide, Walmart will beat those numbers—but that won’t be good enough for the stock, which has dropped following every earnings release since the pandemic started. While there is a slim hope it could break that pattern, investors have held the retail giant to the highest of standards over the past year, and that doesn’t look like it will change.<blockquote>如果以最近的历史为指导，沃尔玛将超过这些数字——但这对该股来说还不够好，自大流行开始以来，该股每次财报发布后都会下跌。尽管它打破这种模式的希望渺茫，但投资者在过去一年中一直将这家零售巨头保持在最高标准，而且这种情况看起来不会改变。</blockquote> It’s hard to overstate how much of a boost Walmart has seen from the Covid-19 pandemic. As an essential retailer, it was able to stay open at the start of the crisis—reaping the benefits as consumers stocked up in anticipation of spending more time at home. And even as restrictions loosened and vaccinations offered a path back to normalcy, Walmart and its large retail peers continued to thrive. Consumers, bolstered by stimulus checks and spending less on dining and travel, were eager to spend throughout much of 2020.<blockquote>很难夸大沃尔玛从Covid-19大流行中得到的提振。作为一家重要的零售商，它能够在危机开始时保持营业——随着消费者因预期有更多时间呆在家里而囤积商品，从而获得了好处。即使限制放松，疫苗接种提供了恢复正常的途径，沃尔玛及其大型零售同行仍继续蓬勃发展。在刺激支票以及餐饮和旅行支出减少的支持下，消费者在2020年的大部分时间里都渴望消费。</blockquote> Walmart stock didn’t respond well to those Covid-driven beats, although its shares had a great 2020. Walmart reported its&nbsp;first quarter of 2020, the first reported after Covid lockdowns, in mid-May of that year. The numbers were fine, but the stock dropped 2.1%. The same thing happened in August, when investors fretted that Walmart’s same-store sales were growing at a slower pace than&nbsp;Target’s(TGT), and again in November, when earnings beat expectations but Walmart was rewarded with a falling stock, even if the shares managed to finish 2020 up 21%.<blockquote>尽管沃尔玛的股价在2020年表现出色，但其股票对新冠疫情驱动的波动反应并不好。沃尔玛于当年5月中旬报告了2020年第一季度，这是新冠疫情封锁后的首次报告。数据不错，但股价下跌了2.1%。同样的事情也发生在8月份，当时投资者担心沃尔玛的同店销售额增长速度慢于塔吉特(TGT)；11月份，盈利超出预期，但沃尔玛的股价却下跌，即使股价在2020年底上涨了21%。</blockquote> Not so in 2021. Despite reporting record sales of $152 billion, Walmart missed earnings, and the stock fell 6.5%. Walmart stock is still down 3.2% this year, and that’s even more disappointing when compared with Target, which has gained 20%.<blockquote>2021年并非如此。尽管沃尔玛公布了创纪录的1520亿美元销售额，但未能实现盈利，股价下跌6.5%。沃尔玛股价今年仍下跌3.2%，与上涨20%的塔吉特相比，这更令人失望。</blockquote> On some levels, the comparison between Walmart and Target isn’t an apples-to-apples. With itsoverseas investments&nbsp;and&nbsp;fintech ventures, Walmart is a bigger and more complex company. Target’s smaller size has given it more room to grow, especially as it entered the pandemic fresh off a successful turnaround, pivoting from missteps in its early omnichannel efforts and Canadian expansion. Target’s core customers are slightly wealthier as well, and in turn less dependent on stimulus checks to weather the pandemic.<blockquote>在某些层面上，沃尔玛和塔吉特之间的比较并不是同类的。凭借海外投资和金融科技风险投资，沃尔玛是一家更大、更复杂的公司。塔吉特较小的规模为其提供了更多的增长空间，特别是当它刚刚成功扭亏为盈、摆脱早期全渠道努力和加拿大扩张的失误后进入疫情时。塔吉特的核心客户也稍微富裕一些，因此不太依赖刺激支票来抵御疫情。</blockquote> That’s cold comfort for investors, however, especially because Walmart stock might struggle to break its post-earnings losing streak. Multiple analysts have warned that&nbsp;membership sign-ups may be lagging&nbsp;at its&nbsp;subscription service Walmart+. Walmart’s lower-income shoppers may also struggle&nbsp;more with inflation&nbsp;pushing up prices for&nbsp;many consumer goods.<blockquote>然而，这对投资者来说是一种冰冷的安慰，特别是因为沃尔玛股票可能很难打破财报后的连跌。多位分析师警告称，其订阅服务Walmart+的会员注册量可能落后。沃尔玛的低收入购物者也可能更加难以应对通货膨胀推高许多消费品的价格。</blockquote> The latest round of government stimulus helped retail sales leap in March to a pandemic-era high, while U.S. consumer confidence reached its highest levels in 14 months in April, and both data points mean increased odds that Walmart could report stronger-than-expected same-store sales, which are predicted to rise 1.1%. The company, however, faces tough year-over-year comparisons after growing same-store sales at a 1.3% clip one year ago. It’s unclear whether investors will reward a beat or punish slower sales.<blockquote>最新一轮政府刺激措施帮助3月份零售额跃升至大流行时期的高点，而美国消费者信心在4月份达到14个月来的最高水平，这两个数据点都意味着沃尔玛报告强于预期的可能性增加。同店销售额，预计增长1.1%。然而，该公司在一年前同店销售额增长1.3%后，面临着严峻的同比比较。目前尚不清楚投资者是会奖励销售放缓还是惩罚销售放缓。</blockquote> If it’s the latter, the stock could still have an uphill battle after the release—beat or no beat.<blockquote>如果是后者，该股在发行后仍可能面临一场艰苦的战斗——无论是否上涨。</blockquote>","source":"lsy1601382232898","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Walmart Reports Earnings Tuesday.

That compares to per-share earnings of $1.39 last quarter and $1.18 in the year-ago period, and revenue of $134.6 billion a year ago.<blockquote>分析师预计沃尔玛第一财季每股收益为1.21美元，营收为1,322亿美元。相比之下，上季度每股收益为1.39美元，去年同期为1.18美元，去年同期营收为1,346亿美元。</blockquote> If recent history is any guide, Walmart will beat those numbers—but that won’t be good enough for the stock, which has dropped following every earnings release since the pandemic started. While there is a slim hope it could break that pattern, investors have held the retail giant to the highest of standards over the past year, and that doesn’t look like it will change.<blockquote>如果以最近的历史为指导，沃尔玛将超过这些数字——但这对该股来说还不够好，自大流行开始以来，该股每次财报发布后都会下跌。尽管它打破这种模式的希望渺茫，但投资者在过去一年中一直将这家零售巨头保持在最高标准，而且这种情况看起来不会改变。</blockquote> It’s hard to overstate how much of a boost Walmart has seen from the Covid-19 pandemic. As an essential retailer, it was able to stay open at the start of the crisis—reaping the benefits as consumers stocked up in anticipation of spending more time at home. And even as restrictions loosened and vaccinations offered a path back to normalcy, Walmart and its large retail peers continued to thrive. Consumers, bolstered by stimulus checks and spending less on dining and travel, were eager to spend throughout much of 2020.<blockquote>很难夸大沃尔玛从Covid-19大流行中得到的提振。作为一家重要的零售商，它能够在危机开始时保持营业——随着消费者因预期有更多时间呆在家里而囤积商品，从而获得了好处。即使限制放松，疫苗接种提供了恢复正常的途径，沃尔玛及其大型零售同行仍继续蓬勃发展。在刺激支票以及餐饮和旅行支出减少的支持下，消费者在2020年的大部分时间里都渴望消费。</blockquote> Walmart stock didn’t respond well to those Covid-driven beats, although its shares had a great 2020. Walmart reported its&nbsp;first quarter of 2020, the first reported after Covid lockdowns, in mid-May of that year. The numbers were fine, but the stock dropped 2.1%. The same thing happened in August, when investors fretted that Walmart’s same-store sales were growing at a slower pace than&nbsp;Target’s(TGT), and again in November, when earnings beat expectations but Walmart was rewarded with a falling stock, even if the shares managed to finish 2020 up 21%.<blockquote>尽管沃尔玛的股价在2020年表现出色，但其股票对新冠疫情驱动的波动反应并不好。沃尔玛于当年5月中旬报告了2020年第一季度，这是新冠疫情封锁后的首次报告。数据不错，但股价下跌了2.1%。同样的事情也发生在8月份，当时投资者担心沃尔玛的同店销售额增长速度慢于塔吉特(TGT)；11月份，盈利超出预期，但沃尔玛的股价却下跌，即使股价在2020年底上涨了21%。</blockquote> Not so in 2021. Despite reporting record sales of $152 billion, Walmart missed earnings, and the stock fell 6.5%. Walmart stock is still down 3.2% this year, and that’s even more disappointing when compared with Target, which has gained 20%.<blockquote>2021年并非如此。尽管沃尔玛公布了创纪录的1520亿美元销售额，但未能实现盈利，股价下跌6.5%。沃尔玛股价今年仍下跌3.2%，与上涨20%的塔吉特相比，这更令人失望。</blockquote> On some levels, the comparison between Walmart and Target isn’t an apples-to-apples. With itsoverseas investments&nbsp;and&nbsp;fintech ventures, Walmart is a bigger and more complex company. Target’s smaller size has given it more room to grow, especially as it entered the pandemic fresh off a successful turnaround, pivoting from missteps in its early omnichannel efforts and Canadian expansion. Target’s core customers are slightly wealthier as well, and in turn less dependent on stimulus checks to weather the pandemic.<blockquote>在某些层面上，沃尔玛和塔吉特之间的比较并不是同类的。凭借海外投资和金融科技风险投资，沃尔玛是一家更大、更复杂的公司。塔吉特较小的规模为其提供了更多的增长空间，特别是当它刚刚成功扭亏为盈、摆脱早期全渠道努力和加拿大扩张的失误后进入疫情时。塔吉特的核心客户也稍微富裕一些，因此不太依赖刺激支票来抵御疫情。</blockquote> That’s cold comfort for investors, however, especially because Walmart stock might struggle to break its post-earnings losing streak. Multiple analysts have warned that&nbsp;membership sign-ups may be lagging&nbsp;at its&nbsp;subscription service Walmart+. Walmart’s lower-income shoppers may also struggle&nbsp;more with inflation&nbsp;pushing up prices for&nbsp;many consumer goods.<blockquote>然而，这对投资者来说是一种冰冷的安慰，特别是因为沃尔玛股票可能很难打破财报后的连跌。多位分析师警告称，其订阅服务Walmart+的会员注册量可能落后。沃尔玛的低收入购物者也可能更加难以应对通货膨胀推高许多消费品的价格。</blockquote> The latest round of government stimulus helped retail sales leap in March to a pandemic-era high, while U.S. consumer confidence reached its highest levels in 14 months in April, and both data points mean increased odds that Walmart could report stronger-than-expected same-store sales, which are predicted to rise 1.1%. The company, however, faces tough year-over-year comparisons after growing same-store sales at a 1.3% clip one year ago. It’s unclear whether investors will reward a beat or punish slower sales.<blockquote>最新一轮政府刺激措施帮助3月份零售额跃升至大流行时期的高点，而美国消费者信心在4月份达到14个月来的最高水平，这两个数据点都意味着沃尔玛报告强于预期的可能性增加。同店销售额，预计增长1.1%。然而，该公司在一年前同店销售额增长1.3%后，面临着严峻的同比比较。目前尚不清楚投资者是会奖励销售放缓还是惩罚销售放缓。</blockquote> If it’s the latter, the stock could still have an uphill battle after the release—beat or no beat.<blockquote>如果是后者，该股在发行后仍可能面临一场艰苦的战斗——无论是否上涨。</blockquote>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n 来源：<a href=\"https://www.barrons.com/articles/walmart-reports-earnings-tuesday-why-even-a-beat-might-not-help-the-stock-51621203579?mod=hp_LATEST\">Barrons</a>\n为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"WMT":"沃尔玛"},"source_url":"https://www.barrons.com/articles/walmart-reports-earnings-tuesday-why-even-a-beat-might-not-help-the-stock-51621203579?mod=hp_LATEST","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1124436775","content_text":"High standards are great when it comes to running a business.

It can be tough for a company reporting earnings, as&nbsp;Walmart&nbsp;will on Tuesday.<blockquote>经营企业时，高标准是很棒的。对于一家像沃尔玛周二那样报告收益的公司来说，这可能会很艰难。</blockquote> Analysts are looking for Walmart to earn $1.21 a share on revenue of $132.2 billion for its fiscal first quarter. That compares to per-share earnings of $1.39 last quarter and $1.18 in the year-ago period, and revenue of $134.6 billion a year ago.<blockquote>分析师预计沃尔玛第一财季每股收益为1.21美元，营收为1,322亿美元。相比之下，上季度每股收益为1.39美元，去年同期为1.18美元，去年同期营收为1,346亿美元。</blockquote> If recent history is any guide, Walmart will beat those numbers—but that won’t be good enough for the stock, which has dropped following every earnings release since the pandemic started. While there is a slim hope it could break that pattern, investors have held the retail giant to the highest of standards over the past year, and that doesn’t look like it will change.<blockquote>如果以最近的历史为指导，沃尔玛将超过这些数字——但这对该股来说还不够好，自大流行开始以来，该股每次财报发布后都会下跌。尽管它打破这种模式的希望渺茫，但投资者在过去一年中一直将这家零售巨头保持在最高标准，而且这种情况看起来不会改变。</blockquote> It’s hard to overstate how much of a boost Walmart has seen from the Covid-19 pandemic. As an essential retailer, it was able to stay open at the start of the crisis—reaping the benefits as consumers stocked up in anticipation of spending more time at home. And even as restrictions loosened and vaccinations offered a path back to normalcy, Walmart and its large retail peers continued to thrive. Consumers, bolstered by stimulus checks and spending less on dining and travel, were eager to spend throughout much of 2020.<blockquote>很难夸大沃尔玛从Covid-19大流行中得到的提振。作为一家重要的零售商，它能够在危机开始时保持营业——随着消费者因预期有更多时间呆在家里而囤积商品，从而获得了好处。即使限制放松，疫苗接种提供了恢复正常的途径，沃尔玛及其大型零售同行仍继续蓬勃发展。在刺激支票以及餐饮和旅行支出减少的支持下，消费者在2020年的大部分时间里都渴望消费。</blockquote> Walmart stock didn’t respond well to those Covid-driven beats, although its shares had a great 2020. Walmart reported its&nbsp;first quarter of 2020, the first reported after Covid lockdowns, in mid-May of that year. The numbers were fine, but the stock dropped 2.1%. The same thing happened in August, when investors fretted that Walmart’s same-store sales were growing at a slower pace than&nbsp;Target’s(TGT), and again in November, when earnings beat expectations but Walmart was rewarded with a falling stock, even if the shares managed to finish 2020 up 21%.<blockquote>尽管沃尔玛的股价在2020年表现出色，但其股票对新冠疫情驱动的波动反应并不好。沃尔玛于当年5月中旬报告了2020年第一季度，这是新冠疫情封锁后的首次报告。数据不错，但股价下跌了2.1%。同样的事情也发生在8月份，当时投资者担心沃尔玛的同店销售额增长速度慢于塔吉特(TGT)；11月份，盈利超出预期，但沃尔玛的股价却下跌，即使股价在2020年底上涨了21%。</blockquote> Not so in 2021. Despite reporting record sales of $152 billion, Walmart missed earnings, and the stock fell 6.5%. Walmart stock is still down 3.2% this year, and that’s even more disappointing when compared with Target, which has gained 20%.<blockquote>2021年并非如此。尽管沃尔玛公布了创纪录的1520亿美元销售额，但未能实现盈利，股价下跌6.5%。沃尔玛股价今年仍下跌3.2%，与上涨20%的塔吉特相比，这更令人失望。</blockquote> On some levels, the comparison between Walmart and Target isn’t an apples-to-apples. With itsoverseas investments&nbsp;and&nbsp;fintech ventures, Walmart is a bigger and more complex company. Target’s smaller size has given it more room to grow, especially as it entered the pandemic fresh off a successful turnaround, pivoting from missteps in its early omnichannel efforts and Canadian expansion. Target’s core customers are slightly wealthier as well, and in turn less dependent on stimulus checks to weather the pandemic.<blockquote>在某些层面上，沃尔玛和塔吉特之间的比较并不是同类的。凭借海外投资和金融科技风险投资，沃尔玛是一家更大、更复杂的公司。塔吉特较小的规模为其提供了更多的增长空间，特别是当它刚刚成功扭亏为盈、摆脱早期全渠道努力和加拿大扩张的失误后进入疫情时。塔吉特的核心客户也稍微富裕一些，因此不太依赖刺激支票来抵御疫情。</blockquote> That’s cold comfort for investors, however, especially because Walmart stock might struggle to break its post-earnings losing streak. Multiple analysts have warned that&nbsp;membership sign-ups may be lagging&nbsp;at its&nbsp;subscription service Walmart+. Walmart’s lower-income shoppers may also struggle&nbsp;more with inflation&nbsp;pushing up prices for&nbsp;many consumer goods.<blockquote>然而，这对投资者来说是一种冰冷的安慰，特别是因为沃尔玛股票可能很难打破财报后的连跌。多位分析师警告称，其订阅服务Walmart+的会员注册量可能落后。沃尔玛的低收入购物者也可能更加难以应对通货膨胀推高许多消费品的价格。</blockquote> The latest round of government stimulus helped retail sales leap in March to a pandemic-era high, while U.S. consumer confidence reached its highest levels in 14 months in April, and both data points mean increased odds that Walmart could report stronger-than-expected same-store sales, which are predicted to rise 1.1%.

It can be tough for a company reporting earnings, as&nbsp;Walmart&nbsp;will on Tuesday.<blockquote>经营企业时，高标准是很棒的。对于一家像沃尔玛周二那样报告收益的公司来说，这可能会很艰难。</blockquote> Analysts are looking for Walmart to earn $1.21 a share on revenue of $132.2 billion for its fiscal first quarter. That compares to per-share earnings of $1.39 last quarter and $1.18 in the year-ago period, and revenue of $134.6 billion a year ago.<blockquote>分析师预计沃尔玛第一财季每股收益为1.21美元，营收为1,322亿美元。相比之下，上季度每股收益为1.39美元，去年同期为1.18美元，去年同期营收为1,346亿美元。</blockquote> If recent history is any guide, Walmart will beat those numbers—but that won’t be good enough for the stock, which has dropped following every earnings release since the pandemic started. While there is a slim hope it could break that pattern, investors have held the retail giant to the highest of standards over the past year, and that doesn’t look like it will change.<blockquote>如果以最近的历史为指导，沃尔玛将超过这些数字——但这对该股来说还不够好，自大流行开始以来，该股每次财报发布后都会下跌。尽管它打破这种模式的希望渺茫，但投资者在过去一年中一直将这家零售巨头保持在最高标准，而且这种情况看起来不会改变。</blockquote> It’s hard to overstate how much of a boost Walmart has seen from the Covid-19 pandemic. As an essential retailer, it was able to stay open at the start of the crisis—reaping the benefits as consumers stocked up in anticipation of spending more time at home. And even as restrictions loosened and vaccinations offered a path back to normalcy, Walmart and its large retail peers continued to thrive. Consumers, bolstered by stimulus checks and spending less on dining and travel, were eager to spend throughout much of 2020.<blockquote>很难夸大沃尔玛从Covid-19大流行中得到的提振。作为一家重要的零售商，它能够在危机开始时保持营业——随着消费者因预期有更多时间呆在家里而囤积商品，从而获得了好处。即使限制放松，疫苗接种提供了恢复正常的途径，沃尔玛及其大型零售同行仍继续蓬勃发展。在刺激支票以及餐饮和旅行支出减少的支持下，消费者在2020年的大部分时间里都渴望消费。</blockquote> Walmart stock didn’t respond well to those Covid-driven beats, although its shares had a great 2020. Walmart reported its&nbsp;first quarter of 2020, the first reported after Covid lockdowns, in mid-May of that year. The numbers were fine, but the stock dropped 2.1%. The same thing happened in August, when investors fretted that Walmart’s same-store sales were growing at a slower pace than&nbsp;Target’s(TGT), and again in November, when earnings beat expectations but Walmart was rewarded with a falling stock, even if the shares managed to finish 2020 up 21%.<blockquote>尽管沃尔玛的股价在2020年表现出色，但其股票对新冠疫情驱动的波动反应并不好。沃尔玛于当年5月中旬报告了2020年第一季度，这是新冠疫情封锁后的首次报告。数据不错，但股价下跌了2.1%。同样的事情也发生在8月份，当时投资者担心沃尔玛的同店销售额增长速度慢于塔吉特(TGT)；11月份，盈利超出预期，但沃尔玛的股价却下跌，即使股价在2020年底上涨了21%。</blockquote> Not so in 2021. Despite reporting record sales of $152 billion, Walmart missed earnings, and the stock fell 6.5%. Walmart stock is still down 3.2% this year, and that’s even more disappointing when compared with Target, which has gained 20%.<blockquote>2021年并非如此。尽管沃尔玛公布了创纪录的1520亿美元销售额，但未能实现盈利，股价下跌6.5%。沃尔玛股价今年仍下跌3.2%，与上涨20%的塔吉特相比，这更令人失望。</blockquote> On some levels, the comparison between Walmart and Target isn’t an apples-to-apples. With itsoverseas investments&nbsp;and&nbsp;fintech ventures, Walmart is a bigger and more complex company. Target’s smaller size has given it more room to grow, especially as it entered the pandemic fresh off a successful turnaround, pivoting from missteps in its early omnichannel efforts and Canadian expansion. Target’s core customers are slightly wealthier as well, and in turn less dependent on stimulus checks to weather the pandemic.<blockquote>在某些层面上，沃尔玛和塔吉特之间的比较并不是同类的。凭借海外投资和金融科技风险投资，沃尔玛是一家更大、更复杂的公司。塔吉特较小的规模为其提供了更多的增长空间，特别是当它刚刚成功扭亏为盈、摆脱早期全渠道努力和加拿大扩张的失误后进入疫情时。塔吉特的核心客户也稍微富裕一些，因此不太依赖刺激支票来抵御疫情。</blockquote> That’s cold comfort for investors, however, especially because Walmart stock might struggle to break its post-earnings losing streak. Multiple analysts have warned that&nbsp;membership sign-ups may be lagging&nbsp;at its&nbsp;subscription service Walmart+. Walmart’s lower-income shoppers may also struggle&nbsp;more with inflation&nbsp;pushing up prices for&nbsp;many consumer goods.<blockquote>然而，这对投资者来说是一种冰冷的安慰，特别是因为沃尔玛股票可能很难打破财报后的连跌。多位分析师警告称，其订阅服务Walmart+的会员注册量可能落后。沃尔玛的低收入购物者也可能更加难以应对通货膨胀推高许多消费品的价格。</blockquote> The latest round of government stimulus helped retail sales leap in March to a pandemic-era high, while U.S. consumer confidence reached its highest levels in 14 months in April, and both data points mean increased odds that Walmart could report stronger-than-expected same-store sales, which are predicted to rise 1.1%. The company, however, faces tough year-over-year comparisons after growing same-store sales at a 1.3% clip one year ago. It’s unclear whether investors will reward a beat or punish slower sales.<blockquote>最新一轮政府刺激措施帮助3月份零售额跃升至大流行时期的高点，而美国消费者信心在4月份达到14个月来的最高水平，这两个数据点都意味着沃尔玛报告强于预期的可能性增加。同店销售额，预计增长1.1%。然而，该公司在一年前同店销售额增长1.3%后，面临着严峻的同比比较。目前尚不清楚投资者是会奖励销售放缓还是惩罚销售放缓。</blockquote> If it’s the latter, the stock could still have an uphill battle after the release—beat or no beat.<blockquote>如果是后者，该股在发行后仍可能面临一场艰苦的战斗——无论是否上涨。</blockquote>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n 来源：<a href=\"https://www.barrons.com/articles/walmart-reports-earnings-tuesday-why-even-a-beat-might-not-help-the-stock-51621203579?mod=hp_LATEST\">Barrons</a>\n为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"WMT":"沃尔玛"},"source_url":"https://www.barrons.com/articles/walmart-reports-earnings-tuesday-why-even-a-beat-might-not-help-the-stock-51621203579?mod=hp_LATEST","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1124436775","content_text":"High standards are great when it comes to running a business.

It can be tough for a company reporting earnings, as&nbsp;Walmart&nbsp;will on Tuesday.<blockquote>经营企业时，高标准是很棒的。对于一家像沃尔玛周二那样报告收益的公司来说，这可能会很艰难。</blockquote> Analysts are looking for Walmart to earn $1.21 a share on revenue of $132.2 billion for its fiscal first quarter. That compares to per-share earnings of $1.39 last quarter and $1.18 in the year-ago period, and revenue of $134.6 billion a year ago.<blockquote>分析师预计沃尔玛第一财季每股收益为1.21美元，营收为1,322亿美元。相比之下，上季度每股收益为1.39美元，去年同期为1.18美元，去年同期营收为1,346亿美元。</blockquote> If recent history is any guide, Walmart will beat those numbers—but that won’t be good enough for the stock, which has dropped following every earnings release since the pandemic started. While there is a slim hope it could break that pattern, investors have held the retail giant to the highest of standards over the past year, and that doesn’t look like it will change.<blockquote>如果以最近的历史为指导，沃尔玛将超过这些数字——但这对该股来说还不够好，自大流行开始以来，该股每次财报发布后都会下跌。尽管它打破这种模式的希望渺茫，但投资者在过去一年中一直将这家零售巨头保持在最高标准，而且这种情况看起来不会改变。</blockquote> It’s hard to overstate how much of a boost Walmart has seen from the Covid-19 pandemic. As an essential retailer, it was able to stay open at the start of the crisis—reaping the benefits as consumers stocked up in anticipation of spending more time at home. And even as restrictions loosened and vaccinations offered a path back to normalcy, Walmart and its large retail peers continued to thrive. Consumers, bolstered by stimulus checks and spending less on dining and travel, were eager to spend throughout much of 2020.<blockquote>很难夸大沃尔玛从Covid-19大流行中得到的提振。作为一家重要的零售商，它能够在危机开始时保持营业——随着消费者因预期有更多时间呆在家里而囤积商品，从而获得了好处。即使限制放松，疫苗接种提供了恢复正常的途径，沃尔玛及其大型零售同行仍继续蓬勃发展。在刺激支票以及餐饮和旅行支出减少的支持下，消费者在2020年的大部分时间里都渴望消费。</blockquote> Walmart stock didn’t respond well to those Covid-driven beats, although its shares had a great 2020. Walmart reported its&nbsp;first quarter of 2020, the first reported after Covid lockdowns, in mid-May of that year. The numbers were fine, but the stock dropped 2.1%. The same thing happened in August, when investors fretted that Walmart’s same-store sales were growing at a slower pace than&nbsp;Target’s(TGT), and again in November, when earnings beat expectations but Walmart was rewarded with a falling stock, even if the shares managed to finish 2020 up 21%.<blockquote>尽管沃尔玛的股价在2020年表现出色，但其股票对新冠疫情驱动的波动反应并不好。沃尔玛于当年5月中旬报告了2020年第一季度，这是新冠疫情封锁后的首次报告。数据不错，但股价下跌了2.1%。同样的事情也发生在8月份，当时投资者担心沃尔玛的同店销售额增长速度慢于塔吉特(TGT)；11月份，盈利超出预期，但沃尔玛的股价却下跌，即使股价在2020年底上涨了21%。</blockquote> Not so in 2021. Despite reporting record sales of $152 billion, Walmart missed earnings, and the stock fell 6.5%. Walmart stock is still down 3.2% this year, and that’s even more disappointing when compared with Target, which has gained 20%.<blockquote>2021年并非如此。尽管沃尔玛公布了创纪录的1520亿美元销售额，但未能实现盈利，股价下跌6.5%。沃尔玛股价今年仍下跌3.2%，与上涨20%的塔吉特相比，这更令人失望。</blockquote> On some levels, the comparison between Walmart and Target isn’t an apples-to-apples. With itsoverseas investments&nbsp;and&nbsp;fintech ventures, Walmart is a bigger and more complex company. Target’s smaller size has given it more room to grow, especially as it entered the pandemic fresh off a successful turnaround, pivoting from missteps in its early omnichannel efforts and Canadian expansion. Target’s core customers are slightly wealthier as well, and in turn less dependent on stimulus checks to weather the pandemic.<blockquote>在某些层面上，沃尔玛和塔吉特之间的比较并不是同类的。凭借海外投资和金融科技风险投资，沃尔玛是一家更大、更复杂的公司。塔吉特较小的规模为其提供了更多的增长空间，特别是当它刚刚成功扭亏为盈、摆脱早期全渠道努力和加拿大扩张的失误后进入疫情时。塔吉特的核心客户也稍微富裕一些，因此不太依赖刺激支票来抵御疫情。</blockquote> That’s cold comfort for investors, however, especially because Walmart stock might struggle to break its post-earnings losing streak. Multiple analysts have warned that&nbsp;membership sign-ups may be lagging&nbsp;at its&nbsp;subscription service Walmart+. Walmart’s lower-income shoppers may also struggle&nbsp;more with inflation&nbsp;pushing up prices for&nbsp;many consumer goods.<blockquote>然而，这对投资者来说是一种冰冷的安慰，特别是因为沃尔玛股票可能很难打破财报后的连跌。多位分析师警告称，其订阅服务Walmart+的会员注册量可能落后。沃尔玛的低收入购物者也可能更加难以应对通货膨胀推高许多消费品的价格。</blockquote> The latest round of government stimulus helped retail sales leap in March to a pandemic-era high, while U.S. consumer confidence reached its highest levels in 14 months in April, and both data points mean increased odds that Walmart could report stronger-than-expected same-store sales, which are predicted to rise 1.1%.

While there is a slim hope it could break that pattern, investors have held the retail giant to the highest of standards over the past year, and that doesn’t look like it will change.<blockquote>如果以最近的历史为指导，沃尔玛将超过这些数字——但这对该股来说还不够好，自大流行开始以来，该股每次财报发布后都会下跌。尽管它打破这种模式的希望渺茫，但投资者在过去一年中一直将这家零售巨头保持在最高标准，而且这种情况看起来不会改变。</blockquote> It’s hard to overstate how much of a boost Walmart has seen from the Covid-19 pandemic. As an essential retailer, it was able to stay open at the start of the crisis—reaping the benefits as consumers stocked up in anticipation of spending more time at home. And even as restrictions loosened and vaccinations offered a path back to normalcy, Walmart and its large retail peers continued to thrive. Consumers, bolstered by stimulus checks and spending less on dining and travel, were eager to spend throughout much of 2020.<blockquote>很难夸大沃尔玛从Covid-19大流行中得到的提振。作为一家重要的零售商，它能够在危机开始时保持营业——随着消费者因预期有更多时间呆在家里而囤积商品，从而获得了好处。即使限制放松，疫苗接种提供了恢复正常的途径，沃尔玛及其大型零售同行仍继续蓬勃发展。在刺激支票以及餐饮和旅行支出减少的支持下，消费者在2020年的大部分时间里都渴望消费。</blockquote> Walmart stock didn’t respond well to those Covid-driven beats, although its shares had a great 2020. Walmart reported its&nbsp;first quarter of 2020, the first reported after Covid lockdowns, in mid-May of that year. The numbers were fine, but the stock dropped 2.1%. The same thing happened in August, when investors fretted that Walmart’s same-store sales were growing at a slower pace than&nbsp;Target’s(TGT), and again in November, when earnings beat expectations but Walmart was rewarded with a falling stock, even if the shares managed to finish 2020 up 21%.<blockquote>尽管沃尔玛的股价在2020年表现出色，但其股票对新冠疫情驱动的波动反应并不好。沃尔玛于当年5月中旬报告了2020年第一季度，这是新冠疫情封锁后的首次报告。数据不错，但股价下跌了2.1%。同样的事情也发生在8月份，当时投资者担心沃尔玛的同店销售额增长速度慢于塔吉特(TGT)；11月份，盈利超出预期，但沃尔玛的股价却下跌，即使股价在2020年底上涨了21%。</blockquote> Not so in 2021. Despite reporting record sales of $152 billion, Walmart missed earnings, and the stock fell 6.5%. Walmart stock is still down 3.2% this year, and that’s even more disappointing when compared with Target, which has gained 20%.<blockquote>2021年并非如此。尽管沃尔玛公布了创纪录的1520亿美元销售额，但未能实现盈利，股价下跌6.5%。沃尔玛股价今年仍下跌3.2%，与上涨20%的塔吉特相比，这更令人失望。</blockquote> On some levels, the comparison between Walmart and Target isn’t an apples-to-apples. With itsoverseas investments&nbsp;and&nbsp;fintech ventures, Walmart is a bigger and more complex company. Target’s smaller size has given it more room to grow, especially as it entered the pandemic fresh off a successful turnaround, pivoting from missteps in its early omnichannel efforts and Canadian expansion. Target’s core customers are slightly wealthier as well, and in turn less dependent on stimulus checks to weather the pandemic.<blockquote>在某些层面上，沃尔玛和塔吉特之间的比较并不是同类的。凭借海外投资和金融科技风险投资，沃尔玛是一家更大、更复杂的公司。塔吉特较小的规模为其提供了更多的增长空间，特别是当它刚刚成功扭亏为盈、摆脱早期全渠道努力和加拿大扩张的失误后进入疫情时。塔吉特的核心客户也稍微富裕一些，因此不太依赖刺激支票来抵御疫情。</blockquote> That’s cold comfort for investors, however, especially because Walmart stock might struggle to break its post-earnings losing streak. Multiple analysts have warned that&nbsp;membership sign-ups may be lagging&nbsp;at its&nbsp;subscription service Walmart+. Walmart’s lower-income shoppers may also struggle&nbsp;more with inflation&nbsp;pushing up prices for&nbsp;many consumer goods.<blockquote>然而，这对投资者来说是一种冰冷的安慰，特别是因为沃尔玛股票可能很难打破财报后的连跌。多位分析师警告称，其订阅服务Walmart+的会员注册量可能落后。沃尔玛的低收入购物者也可能更加难以应对通货膨胀推高许多消费品的价格。</blockquote> The latest round of government stimulus helped retail sales leap in March to a pandemic-era high, while U.S. consumer confidence reached its highest levels in 14 months in April, and both data points mean increased odds that Walmart could report stronger-than-expected same-store sales, which are predicted to rise 1.1%. The company, however, faces tough year-over-year comparisons after growing same-store sales at a 1.3% clip one year ago. It’s unclear whether investors will reward a beat or punish slower sales.<blockquote>最新一轮政府刺激措施帮助3月份零售额跃升至大流行时期的高点，而美国消费者信心在4月份达到14个月来的最高水平，这两个数据点都意味着沃尔玛报告强于预期的可能性增加。同店销售额，预计增长1.1%。然而，该公司在一年前同店销售额增长1.3%后，面临着严峻的同比比较。目前尚不清楚投资者是会奖励销售放缓还是惩罚销售放缓。</blockquote> If it’s the latter, the stock could still have an uphill battle after the release—beat or no beat.<blockquote>如果是后者，该股在发行后仍可能面临一场艰苦的战斗——无论是否上涨。</blockquote>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n 来源：<a href=\"https://www.barrons.com/articles/walmart-reports-earnings-tuesday-why-even-a-beat-might-not-help-the-stock-51621203579?mod=hp_LATEST\">Barrons</a>\n为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"WMT":"沃尔玛"},"source_url":"https://www.barrons.com/articles/walmart-reports-earnings-tuesday-why-even-a-beat-might-not-help-the-stock-51621203579?mod=hp_LATEST","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1124436775","content_text":"High standards are great when it comes to running a business.

It can be tough for a company reporting earnings, as&nbsp;Walmart&nbsp;will on Tuesday.<blockquote>经营企业时，高标准是很棒的。对于一家像沃尔玛周二那样报告收益的公司来说，这可能会很艰难。</blockquote> Analysts are looking for Walmart to earn $1.21 a share on revenue of $132.2 billion for its fiscal first quarter. That compares to per-share earnings of $1.39 last quarter and $1.18 in the year-ago period, and revenue of $134.6 billion a year ago.<blockquote>分析师预计沃尔玛第一财季每股收益为1.21美元，营收为1,322亿美元。相比之下，上季度每股收益为1.39美元，去年同期为1.18美元，去年同期营收为1,346亿美元。</blockquote> If recent history is any guide, Walmart will beat those numbers—but that won’t be good enough for the stock, which has dropped following every earnings release since the pandemic started. While there is a slim hope it could break that pattern, investors have held the retail giant to the highest of standards over the past year, and that doesn’t look like it will change.<blockquote>如果以最近的历史为指导，沃尔玛将超过这些数字——但这对该股来说还不够好，自大流行开始以来，该股每次财报发布后都会下跌。尽管它打破这种模式的希望渺茫，但投资者在过去一年中一直将这家零售巨头保持在最高标准，而且这种情况看起来不会改变。</blockquote> It’s hard to overstate how much of a boost Walmart has seen from the Covid-19 pandemic. As an essential retailer, it was able to stay open at the start of the crisis—reaping the benefits as consumers stocked up in anticipation of spending more time at home. And even as restrictions loosened and vaccinations offered a path back to normalcy, Walmart and its large retail peers continued to thrive. Consumers, bolstered by stimulus checks and spending less on dining and travel, were eager to spend throughout much of 2020.<blockquote>很难夸大沃尔玛从Covid-19大流行中得到的提振。作为一家重要的零售商，它能够在危机开始时保持营业——随着消费者因预期有更多时间呆在家里而囤积商品，从而获得了好处。即使限制放松，疫苗接种提供了恢复正常的途径，沃尔玛及其大型零售同行仍继续蓬勃发展。在刺激支票以及餐饮和旅行支出减少的支持下，消费者在2020年的大部分时间里都渴望消费。</blockquote> Walmart stock didn’t respond well to those Covid-driven beats, although its shares had a great 2020. Walmart reported its&nbsp;first quarter of 2020, the first reported after Covid lockdowns, in mid-May of that year. The numbers were fine, but the stock dropped 2.1%. The same thing happened in August, when investors fretted that Walmart’s same-store sales were growing at a slower pace than&nbsp;Target’s(TGT), and again in November, when earnings beat expectations but Walmart was rewarded with a falling stock, even if the shares managed to finish 2020 up 21%.<blockquote>尽管沃尔玛的股价在2020年表现出色，但其股票对新冠疫情驱动的波动反应并不好。沃尔玛于当年5月中旬报告了2020年第一季度，这是新冠疫情封锁后的首次报告。数据不错，但股价下跌了2.1%。同样的事情也发生在8月份，当时投资者担心沃尔玛的同店销售额增长速度慢于塔吉特(TGT)；11月份，盈利超出预期，但沃尔玛的股价却下跌，即使股价在2020年底上涨了21%。</blockquote> Not so in 2021. Despite reporting record sales of $152 billion, Walmart missed earnings, and the stock fell 6.5%. Walmart stock is still down 3.2% this year, and that’s even more disappointing when compared with Target, which has gained 20%.<blockquote>2021年并非如此。尽管沃尔玛公布了创纪录的1520亿美元销售额，但未能实现盈利，股价下跌6.5%。沃尔玛股价今年仍下跌3.2%，与上涨20%的塔吉特相比，这更令人失望。</blockquote> On some levels, the comparison between Walmart and Target isn’t an apples-to-apples. With itsoverseas investments&nbsp;and&nbsp;fintech ventures, Walmart is a bigger and more complex company. Target’s smaller size has given it more room to grow, especially as it entered the pandemic fresh off a successful turnaround, pivoting from missteps in its early omnichannel efforts and Canadian expansion. Target’s core customers are slightly wealthier as well, and in turn less dependent on stimulus checks to weather the pandemic.<blockquote>在某些层面上，沃尔玛和塔吉特之间的比较并不是同类的。凭借海外投资和金融科技风险投资，沃尔玛是一家更大、更复杂的公司。塔吉特较小的规模为其提供了更多的增长空间，特别是当它刚刚成功扭亏为盈、摆脱早期全渠道努力和加拿大扩张的失误后进入疫情时。塔吉特的核心客户也稍微富裕一些，因此不太依赖刺激支票来抵御疫情。</blockquote> That’s cold comfort for investors, however, especially because Walmart stock might struggle to break its post-earnings losing streak. Multiple analysts have warned that&nbsp;membership sign-ups may be lagging&nbsp;at its&nbsp;subscription service Walmart+. Walmart’s lower-income shoppers may also struggle&nbsp;more with inflation&nbsp;pushing up prices for&nbsp;many consumer goods.<blockquote>然而，这对投资者来说是一种冰冷的安慰，特别是因为沃尔玛股票可能很难打破财报后的连跌。多位分析师警告称，其订阅服务Walmart+的会员注册量可能落后。沃尔玛的低收入购物者也可能更加难以应对通货膨胀推高许多消费品的价格。</blockquote> The latest round of government stimulus helped retail sales leap in March to a pandemic-era high, while U.S. consumer confidence reached its highest levels in 14 months in April, and both data points mean increased odds that Walmart could report stronger-than-expected same-store sales, which are predicted to rise 1.1%.

It can be tough for a company reporting earnings, as&nbsp;Walmart&nbsp;will on Tuesday.<blockquote>经营企业时，高标准是很棒的。对于一家像沃尔玛周二那样报告收益的公司来说，这可能会很艰难。</blockquote> Analysts are looking for Walmart to earn $1.21 a share on revenue of $132.2 billion for its fiscal first quarter. That compares to per-share earnings of $1.39 last quarter and $1.18 in the year-ago period, and revenue of $134.6 billion a year ago.<blockquote>分析师预计沃尔玛第一财季每股收益为1.21美元，营收为1,322亿美元。相比之下，上季度每股收益为1.39美元，去年同期为1.18美元，去年同期营收为1,346亿美元。</blockquote> If recent history is any guide, Walmart will beat those numbers—but that won’t be good enough for the stock, which has dropped following every earnings release since the pandemic started. While there is a slim hope it could break that pattern, investors have held the retail giant to the highest of standards over the past year, and that doesn’t look like it will change.<blockquote>如果以最近的历史为指导，沃尔玛将超过这些数字——但这对该股来说还不够好，自大流行开始以来，该股每次财报发布后都会下跌。尽管它打破这种模式的希望渺茫，但投资者在过去一年中一直将这家零售巨头保持在最高标准，而且这种情况看起来不会改变。</blockquote> It’s hard to overstate how much of a boost Walmart has seen from the Covid-19 pandemic. As an essential retailer, it was able to stay open at the start of the crisis—reaping the benefits as consumers stocked up in anticipation of spending more time at home. And even as restrictions loosened and vaccinations offered a path back to normalcy, Walmart and its large retail peers continued to thrive. Consumers, bolstered by stimulus checks and spending less on dining and travel, were eager to spend throughout much of 2020.<blockquote>很难夸大沃尔玛从Covid-19大流行中得到的提振。作为一家重要的零售商，它能够在危机开始时保持营业——随着消费者因预期有更多时间呆在家里而囤积商品，从而获得了好处。即使限制放松，疫苗接种提供了恢复正常的途径，沃尔玛及其大型零售同行仍继续蓬勃发展。在刺激支票以及餐饮和旅行支出减少的支持下，消费者在2020年的大部分时间里都渴望消费。</blockquote> Walmart stock didn’t respond well to those Covid-driven beats, although its shares had a great 2020. Walmart reported its&nbsp;first quarter of 2020, the first reported after Covid lockdowns, in mid-May of that year. The numbers were fine, but the stock dropped 2.1%. The same thing happened in August, when investors fretted that Walmart’s same-store sales were growing at a slower pace than&nbsp;Target’s(TGT), and again in November, when earnings beat expectations but Walmart was rewarded with a falling stock, even if the shares managed to finish 2020 up 21%.<blockquote>尽管沃尔玛的股价在2020年表现出色，但其股票对新冠疫情驱动的波动反应并不好。沃尔玛于当年5月中旬报告了2020年第一季度，这是新冠疫情封锁后的首次报告。数据不错，但股价下跌了2.1%。同样的事情也发生在8月份，当时投资者担心沃尔玛的同店销售额增长速度慢于塔吉特(TGT)；11月份，盈利超出预期，但沃尔玛的股价却下跌，即使股价在2020年底上涨了21%。</blockquote> Not so in 2021. Despite reporting record sales of $152 billion, Walmart missed earnings, and the stock fell 6.5%. Walmart stock is still down 3.2% this year, and that’s even more disappointing when compared with Target, which has gained 20%.<blockquote>2021年并非如此。尽管沃尔玛公布了创纪录的1520亿美元销售额，但未能实现盈利，股价下跌6.5%。沃尔玛股价今年仍下跌3.2%，与上涨20%的塔吉特相比，这更令人失望。</blockquote> On some levels, the comparison between Walmart and Target isn’t an apples-to-apples. With itsoverseas investments&nbsp;and&nbsp;fintech ventures, Walmart is a bigger and more complex company. Target’s smaller size has given it more room to grow, especially as it entered the pandemic fresh off a successful turnaround, pivoting from missteps in its early omnichannel efforts and Canadian expansion. Target’s core customers are slightly wealthier as well, and in turn less dependent on stimulus checks to weather the pandemic.<blockquote>在某些层面上，沃尔玛和塔吉特之间的比较并不是同类的。凭借海外投资和金融科技风险投资，沃尔玛是一家更大、更复杂的公司。塔吉特较小的规模为其提供了更多的增长空间，特别是当它刚刚成功扭亏为盈、摆脱早期全渠道努力和加拿大扩张的失误后进入疫情时。塔吉特的核心客户也稍微富裕一些，因此不太依赖刺激支票来抵御疫情。</blockquote> That’s cold comfort for investors, however, especially because Walmart stock might struggle to break its post-earnings losing streak. Multiple analysts have warned that&nbsp;membership sign-ups may be lagging&nbsp;at its&nbsp;subscription service Walmart+. Walmart’s lower-income shoppers may also struggle&nbsp;more with inflation&nbsp;pushing up prices for&nbsp;many consumer goods.<blockquote>然而，这对投资者来说是一种冰冷的安慰，特别是因为沃尔玛股票可能很难打破财报后的连跌。多位分析师警告称，其订阅服务Walmart+的会员注册量可能落后。沃尔玛的低收入购物者也可能更加难以应对通货膨胀推高许多消费品的价格。</blockquote> The latest round of government stimulus helped retail sales leap in March to a pandemic-era high, while U.S. consumer confidence reached its highest levels in 14 months in April, and both data points mean increased odds that Walmart could report stronger-than-expected same-store sales, which are predicted to rise 1.1%. The company, however, faces tough year-over-year comparisons after growing same-store sales at a 1.3% clip one year ago. It’s unclear whether investors will reward a beat or punish slower sales.<blockquote>最新一轮政府刺激措施帮助3月份零售额跃升至大流行时期的高点，而美国消费者信心在4月份达到14个月来的最高水平，这两个数据点都意味着沃尔玛报告强于预期的可能性增加。同店销售额，预计增长1.1%。然而，该公司在一年前同店销售额增长1.3%后，面临着严峻的同比比较。目前尚不清楚投资者是会奖励销售放缓还是惩罚销售放缓。</blockquote> If it’s the latter, the stock could still have an uphill battle after the release—beat or no beat.<blockquote>如果是后者，该股在发行后仍可能面临一场艰苦的战斗——无论是否上涨。</blockquote>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n 来源：<a href=\"https://www.barrons.com/articles/walmart-reports-earnings-tuesday-why-even-a-beat-might-not-help-the-stock-51621203579?mod=hp_LATEST\">Barrons</a>\n为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"WMT":"沃尔玛"},"source_url":"https://www.barrons.com/articles/walmart-reports-earnings-tuesday-why-even-a-beat-might-not-help-the-stock-51621203579?mod=hp_LATEST","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1124436775","content_text":"High standards are great when it comes to running a business.

The same thing happened in August, when investors fretted that Walmart’s same-store sales were growing at a slower pace than&nbsp;Target’s(TGT), and again in November, when earnings beat expectations but Walmart was rewarded with a falling stock, even if the shares managed to finish 2020 up 21%.<blockquote>尽管沃尔玛的股价在2020年表现出色，但其股票对新冠疫情驱动的波动反应并不好。沃尔玛于当年5月中旬报告了2020年第一季度，这是新冠疫情封锁后的首次报告。数据不错，但股价下跌了2.1%。同样的事情也发生在8月份，当时投资者担心沃尔玛的同店销售额增长速度慢于塔吉特(TGT)；11月份，盈利超出预期，但沃尔玛的股价却下跌，即使股价在2020年底上涨了21%。</blockquote> Not so in 2021. Despite reporting record sales of $152 billion, Walmart missed earnings, and the stock fell 6.5%. Walmart stock is still down 3.2% this year, and that’s even more disappointing when compared with Target, which has gained 20%.<blockquote>2021年并非如此。尽管沃尔玛公布了创纪录的1520亿美元销售额，但未能实现盈利，股价下跌6.5%。沃尔玛股价今年仍下跌3.2%，与上涨20%的塔吉特相比，这更令人失望。</blockquote> On some levels, the comparison between Walmart and Target isn’t an apples-to-apples. With itsoverseas investments&nbsp;and&nbsp;fintech ventures, Walmart is a bigger and more complex company. Target’s smaller size has given it more room to grow, especially as it entered the pandemic fresh off a successful turnaround, pivoting from missteps in its early omnichannel efforts and Canadian expansion. Target’s core customers are slightly wealthier as well, and in turn less dependent on stimulus checks to weather the pandemic.<blockquote>在某些层面上，沃尔玛和塔吉特之间的比较并不是同类的。凭借海外投资和金融科技风险投资，沃尔玛是一家更大、更复杂的公司。塔吉特较小的规模为其提供了更多的增长空间，特别是当它刚刚成功扭亏为盈、摆脱早期全渠道努力和加拿大扩张的失误后进入疫情时。塔吉特的核心客户也稍微富裕一些，因此不太依赖刺激支票来抵御疫情。</blockquote> That’s cold comfort for investors, however, especially because Walmart stock might struggle to break its post-earnings losing streak. Multiple analysts have warned that&nbsp;membership sign-ups may be lagging&nbsp;at its&nbsp;subscription service Walmart+. Walmart’s lower-income shoppers may also struggle&nbsp;more with inflation&nbsp;pushing up prices for&nbsp;many consumer goods.<blockquote>然而，这对投资者来说是一种冰冷的安慰，特别是因为沃尔玛股票可能很难打破财报后的连跌。多位分析师警告称，其订阅服务Walmart+的会员注册量可能落后。沃尔玛的低收入购物者也可能更加难以应对通货膨胀推高许多消费品的价格。</blockquote> The latest round of government stimulus helped retail sales leap in March to a pandemic-era high, while U.S. consumer confidence reached its highest levels in 14 months in April, and both data points mean increased odds that Walmart could report stronger-than-expected same-store sales, which are predicted to rise 1.1%. The company, however, faces tough year-over-year comparisons after growing same-store sales at a 1.3% clip one year ago. It’s unclear whether investors will reward a beat or punish slower sales.<blockquote>最新一轮政府刺激措施帮助3月份零售额跃升至大流行时期的高点，而美国消费者信心在4月份达到14个月来的最高水平，这两个数据点都意味着沃尔玛报告强于预期的可能性增加。同店销售额，预计增长1.1%。然而，该公司在一年前同店销售额增长1.3%后，面临着严峻的同比比较。目前尚不清楚投资者是会奖励销售放缓还是惩罚销售放缓。</blockquote> If it’s the latter, the stock could still have an uphill battle after the release—beat or no beat.<blockquote>如果是后者，该股在发行后仍可能面临一场艰苦的战斗——无论是否上涨。</blockquote>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n 来源：<a href=\"https://www.barrons.com/articles/walmart-reports-earnings-tuesday-why-even-a-beat-might-not-help-the-stock-51621203579?mod=hp_LATEST\">Barrons</a>\n为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"WMT":"沃尔玛"},"source_url":"https://www.barrons.com/articles/walmart-reports-earnings-tuesday-why-even-a-beat-might-not-help-the-stock-51621203579?mod=hp_LATEST","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1124436775","content_text":"High standards are great when it comes to running a business.

The same thing happened in August, when investors fretted that Walmart’s same-store sales were growing at a slower pace than Target’s(TGT), and again in November, when earnings beat expectations but Walmart was rewarded with a falling stock, even if the shares managed to finish 2020 up 21%.\nNot so in 2021. Despite reporting record sales of $152 billion, Walmart missed earnings, and the stock fell 6.5%. Walmart stock is still down 3.2% this year, and that’s even more disappointing when compared with Target, which has gained 20%.\nOn some levels, the comparison between Walmart and Target isn’t an apples-to-apples. With itsoverseas investments and fintech ventures, Walmart is a bigger and more complex company. Target’s smaller size has given it more room to grow, especially as it entered the pandemic fresh off a successful turnaround, pivoting from missteps in its early omnichannel efforts and Canadian expansion. Target’s core customers are slightly wealthier as well, and in turn less dependent on stimulus checks to weather the pandemic.\nThat’s cold comfort for investors, however, especially because Walmart stock might struggle to break its post-earnings losing streak. Multiple analysts have warned that membership sign-ups may be lagging at its subscription service Walmart+. Walmart’s lower-income shoppers may also struggle more with inflation pushing up prices for many consumer goods.\nThe latest round of government stimulus helped retail sales leap in March to a pandemic-era high, while U.S. consumer confidence reached its highest levels in 14 months in April, and both data points mean increased odds that Walmart could report stronger-than-expected same-store sales, which are predicted to rise 1.1%. The company, however, faces tough year-over-year comparisons after growing same-store sales at a 1.3% clip one year ago. It’s unclear whether investors will reward a beat or punish slower sales.\nIf it’s the latter, the stock could still have an uphill battle after the release—beat or no beat.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"WMT":0.9}},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":195163617,"gmtCreate":1621263063639,"gmtModify":1634192928818,"author":{"id":"3584046576040888","authorId":"3584046576040888","name":"Zh93","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3584046576040888","authorIdStr":"3584046576040888"},"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/195163617","repostId":1124436775,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1124436775","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1621262168,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1124436775?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-17 22:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Walmart Reports Earnings Tuesday.
