Oppenheimer cut its price target on Walmart shares and lowered earnings expectations for quarters two through four. The company will livestream its investor day meeting on Tuesday at 9 a.m. ET. Despite recent weakness in discretionary spending, Walmart could benefit from increased consumer purchases to avoid tariff-driven price hikes.

Shares have fallen about 20% since February, down 7.2% for the year.
