The clearest engine behind the results was a 26% surge in global eCommerce sales, which now account for 23% of total net sales, with store-fulfilled pickup and delivery channels doing much of the heavy lifting alongside a 37% jump in global advertising revenue. Walmart U.S. Comparable sales rose 4.1% excluding fuel, driven by broad-based share gains that were particularly pronounced among upper-income households and a general merchandise segment that recorded its strongest share gains in five years. Analysts had been watching Walmart closely given broader uncertainty around consumer spending and tariff dynamics, and the company's decision to reiterate its full-year guidance unchanged, including adjusted EPS of $2.75 to $2.85 and net sales growth of 3.5% to 4.5% in constant currency, signals management's confidence heading into Q2.
