Is the chart mislabeled or is it a forecast/projection? It shows % growth for Q3 and Q4 2018.

  It shows declining growth quarter over quarter.

  > Note: Fiscal year ends Jan. 31 The chart is fiscal year, not calendar year. Q4 2018 ended a month and a half ago for Walmart.

    No, Walmart’s Q4-2017 ended on January 26, 2018. Q4-2018 doesn’t start for several months.

      Fiscal year is numbered to match the calendar year it ends in. Walmart's FY2018 is already done and they've reported earnings. http://s2.q4cdn.com/056532643/files/doc_financials/2018/q4/Q4FY18-Combined-Doug-and-Brett-final.pdf http://s2.q4cdn.com/056532643/files/doc_financials/2018/q4/Q... http://s2.q4cdn.com/056532643/files/doc_financials/2018/q4/Q4FY18-Earnings-Release-final.pdf http://s2.q4cdn.com/056532643/files/doc_financials/2018/q4/Q... http://stock.walmart.com/investors/financial-information/quarterly-results/default.aspx http://stock.walmart.com/investors/financial-information/qua...

      It is typical to label the fiscal year by the date of the end of the period. This distinction doesn't matter when your fiscal year is Jan - Dec, but comes up in this case If your fiscal year goes from Feb 1 2017 - Jan 21 2018, then that is commonly referred to as FY 2018
