The latest data point for WMT's EPS Surprise % in Q4'26 stands at 1.79%, reflecting a modest positive surprise relative to analyst expectations, following a negative outlier of -7.23% in Q2'26. This uptick indicates a recovery in earnings performance for the most recent quarter, though it remains below the series high of 15.38% seen in Q1'25. Over the period from Q1'24 to Q4'26, EPS Surprise % has exhibited volatile trends with no consistent direction, fluctuating between a low of -7.23% and highs around 15%, including periods of stability near 0% in Q3'24 and notable declines in Q2'26. In contrast, EPS Growth (YoY) shows even greater volatility, with extreme spikes such as 900% in Q3'25 and 204.35% in Q1'25, interspersed with sharp declines like -42.68% in Q2'25 and -19.70% in Q4'26, underscoring inconsistent year-over-year earnings momentum that could signal operational challenges or one-off events influencing quarterly results.
