What we track for WMT

Every hour, SentimentFX collects the latest Walmart news from major financial publishers and RSS feeds, then scores each headline using FinBERT — a transformer model fine-tuned on financial text. The output is a sentiment score between -1 (very bearish) and +1 (very bullish), and we plot the daily average against WMT price so you can see how news flow moves with the market.

Walmart is the largest US retailer; consumer-spending health and e-commerce growth drive headlines, which makes WMT an especially useful ticker for sentiment-driven analysis. Our pipeline pulls from Yahoo Finance and other major financial newswires, deduplicates by URL, and only stores headlines whose title actually mentions WMT or a recognised alias.
