Frequently asked questions about Walmart (WMT)

Is Walmart (WMT) a good stock to buy right now?+

The Therm Score doesn't give buy or sell recommendations — it's non-personalized historical statistical information. Today Walmart (WMT) has a Therm Score of 71.1 (Warm zone). Across the covered universe (S&P 500, Dow 30 and Nasdaq-100 — 520 assets), when the score has been in the Warm zone, price rose over the following 21 sessions in 90.9% of 11 independent episodes analyzed (median +2.59%, net of trading costs). That's an aggregate historical pattern for the zone, not a personalized recommendation for WMT or an assessment of your situation.

Is Walmart (WMT) stock a buy, sell, or hold?+

MarketTherm doesn't issue buy, sell, or hold ratings for Walmart or any asset — the Therm Score is a technical positioning indicator, not an analyst recommendation. What it shows instead: WMT is in the Warm zone today (71.1/100), and price rose over the following 21 sessions in 90.9% of 11 independent episodes analyzed (median +2.59%, net of trading costs) when the covered universe has scored there historically.

Why is Walmart (WMT) stock up or down today?+

Walmart (WMT) fell 0.81% versus the previous session's close. Its Therm Score moved down 5.8 points over the same period, to 71.1 (Warm zone) today. MarketTherm doesn't attribute daily price moves to specific news or events — for that, see the recent news section below.

Is Walmart (WMT) overbought or oversold?+

According to the Therm Score, Walmart (WMT) is in the Warm zone today (71.1/100), based on normalized technical positioning relative to its own historical range. This asset also carries the Weak Trend badge right now — its longer-term trend is deteriorating, a context where this zone's historical pattern has held up less well.

What is the stock forecast for Walmart (WMT)?+

MarketTherm doesn't forecast prices or set price targets for Walmart. Instead of a forecast, here's the historical frequency: across the covered universe, price rose over the following 21 sessions in 90.9% of 11 independent episodes analyzed (median +2.59%, net of trading costs) after a score in the Warm zone. That's a statistical tendency for the zone as a whole, not a prediction for WMT specifically.

Has Walmart (WMT) been in the Warm zone before?+

Yes — looking at WMT's own available history (537 sessions), its Therm Score has spent 17.7% of the time in the Warm zone. That's a different measure from the win-rate cited above (how often price rose afterward, across the whole universe) — this one just says how often WMT itself has scored in this zone, regardless of what happened to its price next.

What is Walmart (WMT)'s 52-week high and low?+

Over the past 252 trading sessions (roughly a year), WMT has traded between $99.77 and $133.88, versus $119.32 today. This is the stock's own price range — see the next question for its Therm Score range over the same period.

What is Walmart (WMT)'s 52-week Therm Score range?+

Over the past 252 trading sessions (roughly a year), WMT's Therm Score has ranged from 3.9 to 94.8, versus 71.1 today. This tracks the score itself, not the stock price — see the previous question for WMT's 52-week price range.

How long has Walmart (WMT) been in the Warm zone?+

WMT has been in the Warm zone for 3 consecutive sessions as of today. A longer streak means the score has been more persistently in this range recently — it isn't, by itself, a signal to act on.

How does Walmart (WMT) compare to other Consumer Staples stocks?+

Today, WMT's Therm Score of 71.1 ranks 5 of 5 tracked Consumer Staples stocks (WMT included), which range from 71.1 to 87.1 today. This is descriptive context for the sector, not a ranking recommendation.

Why does Walmart (WMT) show a Weak Trend badge?+

The Weak Trend badge appears when an asset's longer-term trend is sustained and deteriorating. Validation shows the Therm Score's historical pattern is less reliable in that context — so while Walmart (WMT) shows a Warm score today, the usual zone statistics apply less confidently to it while this badge is active.

Does Walmart (WMT)'s signal hold up across different timeframes?+

For the Warm zone, the historical share of positive episodes by timeframe has been: 5 sessions — 66.7% (n=12); 10 sessions — 83.3% (n=12); 21 sessions — 90.9% (n=11). Compare across timeframes yourself with the selector above — a pattern that holds up at every horizon is more convincing than one that only appears at a single one.

Is Walmart (WMT) a good long-term investment?+

The Therm Score is only validated for horizons of 5, 10, and 21 trading sessions (roughly one week to one month) — it isn't a fundamental analysis tool and says nothing about Walmart's prospects as a multi-year holding, its earnings, or its valuation.

Can I trust the Therm Score to invest in Walmart (WMT)?+

It's based on a historical backtest across all 520 assets in the covered universe, using non-overlapping episodes and a strict train/test split by date to check the pattern holds out-of-sample, net of an estimated trading cost — see the Methodology page for the full process. Like any indicator based on past data, it doesn't guarantee future results, and it isn't a substitute for professional financial advice.

How often is the Walmart (WMT) Therm Score updated?+

The score is recalculated every day after market close, using the most recent closing data available.
