Probability
55%

Walmart reports Q2 FY2027 results (May–July 2026 period) on August 20, 2026 (pre-market). Analyst consensus: $0.75 EPS. Walmart's own Q2 guidance was $0.720–$0.740, so consensus already prices in a ~$0.01–$0.03 beat above guidance. Consumer backdrop was robust: UK Retail Sales June +1.0% MoM (ONS); US consumer spending stable. Walmart benefits structurally from Walmart+ subscriptions, Walmart Connect advertising, and resilient grocery. Risk: margin pressure from new Section 301 import tariffs (July 2026).

Verdict: Hit
Walmart berichtete am 20. August 2026 für Q2 FY2027 ein bereinigtes Non-GAAP-EPS von 0,81 USD – deutlich über dem Konsens von 0,75 USD (und sogar über der höheren Schätzung von ~0,74 USD lt. einigen Quellen). Die Vorhersage trat klar ein. Treiber des Beats waren jedoch weniger das organische Retail-Momentum, sondern v.a. Zollrückerstattungen (Section 301-Tariff Refunds), die die Bruttomarge stark aufbläuten, sowie Wachstum bei eCommerce (+23 %), Werbeumsätzen (+38 %) und Mitgliedschaften (+17 %). Walmart hob zudem den Jahresausblick an. Die Aktie fiel trotzdem ca. 9 %, da der Markt die Qualität des Beats (einmalige Zolleffekte, schwache US-Store-Comp-Sales) skeptisch bewertete.

S&P 500 (^GSPC) closes above 7,500 points on 17 September 2026 (first trading day after the 16 September FOMC decision), confirmed by NYSE closing or Bloomberg by 17 September 2026

The S&P 500 closed at 7,591 on 10 September 2026 (-0.59%), weighed by high oil prices (Brent $105.71) and US-Iran tensions. The probability of a 25bp FOMC rate hike on 16 September stands at 62% (CME FedWatch), Kalshi 57%, Polymarket 56% – largely priced in. Historically, markets react more moderately to anticipated rate moves than to surprises. The 7,500 threshold equals a 1.2% drop over seven trading days – unlikely from an anticipated hike alone. Main risk: hawkish FOMC statement or acute Gulf escalation.

S&P 500 (^GSPC) closes above 7,450 points on 30 September 2026 (confirmed by NYSE closing price or Bloomberg by 30 September 2026)

The S&P 500 closed at 7,636.36 on 9 September 2026. Falling below 7,450 by month-end would require a 2.4% decline. Headwinds: Fed rate hike of 25bp on 16 September (CentralBank.Watch: 59% probability), August PPI above expectations (+5.4% YoY), Iran-Gulf risk premium. Stabilizing factors: hike largely priced in (Polymarket: 93% for zero 2026 cuts), Q2 earnings solid, no recession signals. Historically, a single 25bp September hike rarely causes a monthly decline above 2.5%.

DAX 40 (XETRA) closes above 26,000 points on 30 September 2026 (confirmed by XETRA closing price or Bloomberg by 30 September 2026)

The DAX closed at 25,562 points on September 9, 2026. A gain of +1.7% is required by month-end.

Tailwinds: strong SAP cloud growth expected, robust US demand, EUR/USD at 1.1644 benefits exporters. Implied 30-day volatility (VDAX): ~16%, corresponding to a σ range of roughly ±5.5% by month-end — the 26,000 level falls within the central distribution.
