Here's everything you need to know about Walmart's earnings

Walmart is set to report fourth-quarter earnings before the bell on Tuesday.

Here's what analysts are expecting, based on a Thomson Reuters survey:

Earnings per share: $1.37
Revenue: $134.9 billion
Same-store sales: an increase of 1.8 percent

The Arkansas-based retailer has endured a number of changes to its structure, merchandise mix and leadership hierarchy of late, which are viewed as a way for Walmart to keep pace with Amazon and a shift of U.S. consumers toward online shopping.

For Walmart, news of starting wage increases and bonuses in January was abruptly followed news of Sam's Club store closures, which was followed by news of layoffs at its headquarters and cutbacks of store co-managers. The company is meanwhile remodeling its stores across the U.S. to focus more on grocery and online order fulfillment.

Walmart is also preparing to later this year roll out a revamped website, with a focus on fashion and home goods. The company will partner with Lord & Taylor to sell the Hudson's Bay-owned chain's merchandise on Walmart.com, as it continues to expand its offerings on Jet.com (which include Uniquely J, Modcloth and Bonobos).

As of Friday's market close, Walmart shares have risen about 51 percent from a year ago.
