Walmart Stock: AI Boost, Analyst Upgrades & Insider Selling – News Roundup

Tigress Financial Partners raised its price target for Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT) to $150 per share on February 24, 2026, citing the retailer’s increasing adoption of artificial intelligence and automation technologies. The firm maintains a ‘Buy’ rating on the stock, according to a report from Investing.com.

The revised price target represents an increase from a previously undisclosed level, reflecting Tigress Financial’s growing confidence in Walmart’s ability to leverage AI to enhance customer experience and accelerate revenue growth. This assessment aligns with a broader trend of analysts recognizing the potential of Walmart’s technological advancements, as highlighted by a January 31, 2026 report from Yahoo Finance.

On January 23, Tigress Financial had initially increased its price target to $135 from $130, also maintaining its ‘Buy’ rating. The firm’s optimism extends beyond AI, encompassing Walmart’s strategic expansion of digital and pharmacy-based healthcare services. Walmart recently promoted approximately 3,000 pharmacy technician roles to operations team lead positions on January 28, increasing average hourly pay from $22 to $28, with potential earnings reaching $40.50 per hour. This move aims to bolster staffing levels and strengthen pharmacy teams across Walmart’s roughly 4,600 locations as the company introduces new digital health offerings, including Better Care Services and access to Eli Lilly’s LillyDirect program.

Walmart’s positive outlook is further supported by its revised full-year forecast, which was raised for the second time in November following a strong quarterly performance driven by increased online sales. Faster delivery options have contributed to attracting a wider range of customers, including higher-income shoppers, bolstering the company’s digital business momentum.

Tigress Financial Partners is notable as the nation’s only disabled and woman-owned financial services firm, having recently entered a strategic partnership with Roemer Capital in December 2024. This investment brought cash, infrastructure, and global products to Tigress, with Roemer Capital’s Non-Executive Chairman, Dr. Roman Lokhov, joining Tigress’ Board of Directors.

In a separate analyst action, Tigress Financial maintained its ‘Buy’ rating and increased its price target to $125 from $120 on September 3, 2025, following Walmart’s strong second-quarter results, according to MSN.
