Walmart Inc. is scheduled to release earnings before Thursday's open. Walmart just hit a record high of $115.49/share. The stock is prone to big moves after reporting earnings and can easily gap up if the numbers are strong. Conversely, if the numbers disappoint, the stock can easily gap down. To help you prepare, here is what the Street is expecting:

Earnings Preview:

Walmart is expected to report earnings of $1.21/share on $130.49 billion in revenue. Meanwhile, the so-called Whisper number is $1.25. The Whisper number is the Street's unofficial view on earnings.

The Company offers an assortment of merchandise and services at everyday low prices (EDLP). The Company operates through three segments: Walmart U.S., Walmart International and Sam's Club.

Pay Attention To How The Stock Reacts To The News:

From where I sit, the most important trait I look for during earnings season is how the market and a specific company reacts to the news. Remember, always keep your losses small and never argue with the tape.
