Stock market today: US futures edge higher as Walmart surges with retail sales, jobs data ahead

Walmart (WMT) shares are on the move higher after another solid quarter.

Two things I am thinking about ahead of my chat live on Yahoo Finance at 9:10am ET with Walmart CFO John David Rainey.

First, Target's (TGT) earnings numbers next week will likely not be good. Walmart is calling out another strong quarter in food, and weakness in the discretionary categories Target is known for.

And two, Walmart's international business has really turned the corner. Don't sleep on this business being a real nice profit tailwind in 2025.
