Walmart schedules Q1 results release for May 21 at 6 a.m. CDT

Walmart said it will release first-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings materials at about 6 a.m. Central Time on May 21, with a live conference call scheduled for 7 a.m. Central the same morning. The company posted the event notice on its investor relations site on May 14. Walmart’s corporate newsroom also published a release saying the call will be hosted by Walmart U.S. Chief Executive John Furner and Chief Financial Officer John David Rainey. Investing.com said options markets imply a 4.1% move in Walmart shares on the earnings date. ### When exactly will Walmart publish the quarter? May 21 is the date Walmart gave for both the earnings release and the investor call. The company’s event page says quarterly earnings materials will be available at approximately 6 a.m. Central Time, and the live call with the investment community will begin at 7 a.m. Central. The May 14 corporate release carries the same schedule. Walmart said the event will cover first-quarter results for fiscal year 2027. ### Who is scheduled to speak on the call? John Furner and John David Rainey are named as the hosts in Walmart’s May 14 release. (corporate.walmart.com) Furner leads Walmart U.S., the company’s largest operating segment, while Rainey is Walmart’s finance chief. (corporate.walmart.com) Walmart’s prior earnings calls have typically featured Chief Executive Doug McMillon alongside Rainey, with segment leaders joining for questions, according to archived company transcripts. The May 21 notice instead names Furner and Rainey in the release tied to this event. (corporate.walmart.com) ### Where will investors find the release and webcast? Walmart’s investor relations site lists the event under “News & Events,” and the corporate events page says the webcast will be available there. The stock site also serves as the company’s archive for prior earnings releases, presentations and call transcripts. (stock.walmart.com) The company used the same channel for its first-quarter fiscal 2026 results in May 2025. That release and the related call transcript remain posted on Walmart’s site, alongside guidance and prepared remarks from management. (stock.walmart.com) ### What are traders expecting from the stock reaction? Investing.com reported on May 13 that options markets imply a 4.1% swing in Walmart shares when the company reports on May 21. The figure reflects expected one-day volatility around the earnings event rather than a directional forecast. (corporate.walmart.com) Walmart shares were quoted at $132.46 on the company’s investor page when the site was crawled on May 15, with pricing delayed by 20 minutes. That stock quote appeared alongside the event listing for the May 21 earnings release. ### What did Walmart say last time it reported quarterly results? (in.investing.com) Walmart’s first-quarter fiscal 2026 release, posted in May 2025, said revenue rose 2.5%, or 4.0% in constant currency, while adjusted operating income increased 3.0% in constant currency. The company said at the time that second-quarter net sales were expected to rise 3.5% to 4.5% in constant currency and that full-year fiscal 2026 guidance was unchanged. (corporate.walmart.com) John David Rainey said in that release that near-term outcomes were “exceedingly wide and difficult to predict,” and Walmart declined to give a specific second-quarter range for operating income growth and earnings per share. That language came in the company’s May 2025 earnings materials. (businesswire.com) ### What happens next on May 21? May 21 at 6 a.m. Central is the next scheduled milestone, when Walmart says it will post the quarter’s earnings materials online. One hour later, at 7 a.m. Central, John Furner and John David Rainey are scheduled to host the conference call on Walmart’s investor site. (corporate.walmart.com) (stock.walmart.com)
