Walmart stock price falls again after cautious outlook — what WMT investors watch before Monday

Walmart shares fell 1.5% to $122.99 Friday, extending losses after issuing a cautious fiscal 2027 profit outlook despite authorizing a $30 billion buyback and raising its dividend 5% to $0.99 per share. The stock lagged retail peers as investors weighed slower earnings growth and fresh inflation data showing core PCE prices up 3% year-over-year in December.

  • CAR vs SOL Shares: Value Comparison for 2026
    May 22, 2026, 10:39 PM EDT. CAR Group Limited (ASX:CAR) shares have declined nearly 20% since early 2025, despite strong revenue growth averaging 37% annually since 2021 and a 2024 net profit of AUD 250 million. The company operates vehicle marketplaces globally, including Australia and the US. In contrast, Washington H Soul Pattinson (ASX:SOL) shares are near a 52-week high, reflecting its status as a diversified investment holding with low debt (8.5% debt-to-equity) and a consistent dividend history dating back to 1903. SOL reported a 5.6% return on equity (ROE) in FY24, with an average dividend yield of 2.4% over recent years. Investors seeking growth might favour CAR's expanding profits and market presence, while income-focused investors could prefer SOL's stable dividends and lower risk profile.
