Walmart Q2 FY2027 Earnings: Operating Income Outpaces Revenue Growth
Walmart’s Q2 FY2027 earnings showed revenue rising 5.9% to $187.9 billion, while GAAP EPS was $0.80 and adjusted EPS was $0.81. Operating income increased 28.8%, or 17.4% on an adjusted constant-currency basis, as tariff refunds helped lift the gross profit rate by 96 basis points despite price investments. Global eCommerce sales grew 23%, advertising rose 38%, and membership fee revenue increased 17%. The key issue is how much of the tariff-related benefit persists as Walmart directs remaining refunds into lower prices.
