In this paper we study the tail behavior of the maximum exceedance of a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables over a random walk. For both light-tailed and heavy-tailed cases, we derive a precise asymptotic formula, which extends and unifies some existing results in the recent literature of applied probability.
