Cramer Praise Extends Walmart Rally After Beat, With Nasdaq Switch and CEO Handoff Looming

Investor buying followed upbeat commentary highlighting e‑commerce gains alongside easing tariff worries.

Overview

  • Walmart beat expectations with $179.5 billion in revenue and $0.62 adjusted EPS, and raised full‑year sales growth guidance to 4.8%–5.1%.
  • The stock jumped more than 6% on the day, making it one of the S&P 500’s best performers.
  • Jim Cramer praised the results and said investors are willing to pay a premium despite a valuation near 40 times earnings.
  • Walmart said it will transfer its listing from the New York Stock Exchange to the Nasdaq.
  • The company has outlined a CEO transition from Doug McMillon to John Furner, with reports citing February, as Cramer flagged roughly 28% e‑commerce growth and tariffs proving less damaging than feared.
