There are few brands in the United States as well-known as Walmart. The $702 billion company is among the largest by market cap on the planet and has shown a continued propensity to overperform despite its market dominance. That trend continued Tuesday.
Wall Street anxiously awaited Walmart’s Q3 FY25 report that eventually propelled WMT stock to yet another all-time high mark in 2024. The stock price surged more than 3.6% to surpass $88. Currently, shares are situated at $87 and still looking to close above the previous $85 record.

“Across markets, we continue to grow, and our newer business helped profits for faster than sales while we worked to lower prices,” company president and CEO Doug McMillon said in a press release. Indeed, the e-commerce and advertising aspects of Walmart’s business proved to be the fastest-growing. Revenue for both rose to 27% and 28%, respectively.
The report also saw the company raise its 2025 projection across the board. They reported increased expectations for sales to rise between 4.8% and 5.1% year-over-year. That updated project exceeds the previous 3,75% to 4.75% previously. Moreover, they project an increase in earnings per share (EPS) to a range of $2.41 and $2.47.
Throughout the year, WMT shares have increased more than 60%. The stock is still expected to continue its growth trajectory well into next year. It could be one of the most promising stocks if it continues to overperform on analysis and company expectations.
