My Top, Bottom Sectors as the Markets Slide on Walmart Guidance News

by | Jul 26, 2022

The broader market slid lower following Walmart’s announcement that it is cutting its profit forecast — and more in Tuesday’s stock market recap.

Citing rising food prices and consumers pulling back on purchases of general merchandise, the big-box retailer cut both quarterly and full-year profit estimates ahead of its upcoming earnings report on Aug. 16.

The news sent Walmart Inc. (NYSE: WMT) plunging 9% in premarket trading, also dragging down names like Target Corp. (NYSE: TGT), Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN) and Kohl’s Corp. (NYSE: KSS), which all fell about 4.5% to 5%.

Investors are keen to hear what the Federal Reserve has to say regarding inflation as its two-day meeting kicks off Tuesday ahead of this week’s gross domestic product and consumer sentiment reports.

Earnings season continued with Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE: KO) beating Wall Street estimates on both earnings per share and revenue.

Meanwhile, McDonald’s Corp. (NYSE: MCD) reported a narrow revenue miss but beat on EPS estimates. The fast food giant also reported a same-store sales increase of 3.7%, above analyst estimates of 2.8%.

In this morning’s stock market recap video, I’ll reveal the biggest Fed news to pay attention to today… an update on two of the biggest tech earnings reports this week… whether it’s time to move back into defensive stocks… what current volatility levels are confirming… an update on the long bond and why it’s more important to follow than ever before… plus how to trade the current market and the biggest threats of the week.
