With earnings season upon us, Walmart (WMT) has gotten a critical upgrade to its target price, despite one glaring concern that analysts have for the stock. Indeed, the retailer has seen its target boosted to $90 from Guggenheim, with a caveat expressed by experts seemingly across the board.

Despite a fall Tuesday, Walmart has enjoyed a pretty impressive stretch. Moreover, both the Q3 earnings and the holiday season have incited increased interest in the stock’s value and what it could do for the close of the year. However, there may be some worry starting to develop regarding how the stock could perform when the calendar turns.

There are few brands in the United States as strong as Walmart. Indeed, the company is among the most prominent retail chains in the country and has continuously fortified its strength. It looks to do so yet again, with Q3 earnings anticipated to be a positive development for the company.

That has led many analysts to upgrade Walmart’s (WMT) stock with a $90 price target, despite one concern looming. Although the earnings report and holiday boom appear to be set to benefit the store, analysts have noted there is a key area that could cloud expectations for the coming year.

In a recent note from Guggenheim, they discussed a “heightened level of uncertainty for the retail industry.” Indeed, there is concern about how macroeconomic realities could affect retail sector businesses. Outside of that fact, Walmart is looking to continue its impressive performance.

The firm notes that the store “continues to execute its omni-channel strategy seamlessly” ahead of the holidays. Moreover, it states that US consumers appear to be resilient, with employment levels and wage rates remaining solid. If that holds true by the start of 2025, things could only look up for the retailer.
