Walmart’s (NYSE: WMT) shares have surged notably in 2023, reaching a fresh all-time high this month, mirroring the broader market trend seen in the S&P 500 index. The retail giant’s stock saw a significant uptick last month after it surpassed Q2 profit and sales expectations, driven by robust grocery and e-commerce sales.

Walmart stock price analysis
At the time of writing, WMT was sitting at $161.7, down 0.48% in the past 24 hours, and more than 1.1% on the weekly chart.
On the month, WMT is up by around 2.5%, while gaining over 13.4% on a year-to-date basis, compared to S&P 500’s 11.7%.
