Walmart Q4 results: 💵 Total sales: +5.6% 🇺🇸 Walmart US sales: +3.4% 🥫 Walmart US comps: +4.0% 🌎 International: +17.6% 📉 Net income: -12.4% Very solid results from Walmart, especially as it laps tough prior year numbers. However, it's evident that growth continues to moderate as disinflation creeps in. That's why Walmart is looking to bolster its fortunes through new stores, improved general merchandise, and boosting the Walmart Connect advertising business. As part of the advertising push, Walmart has agreed to buy Vizio to further accelerate its Walmart Connect business - for $11.50 per share in cash, equating to a fully diluted equity value of approximately $2.3 billion. #retail #Walmart #economy #advertising

Is Walmart's 'Everyday Low Prices' Strategy the Real Winner in Today's Economy? In an era where consumers are tightening their belts, Walmart's Q3 earnings are poised to reflect the company's strategic focus on affordability and value. Analysts anticipate a revenue increase to $167.73 billion, up from $160.8 billion last year, with net income projected at $4.24 billion, a significant rise from $453 million previously. This growth isn't just about low prices; it's about understanding and adapting to consumer behavior. Walmart's expansion of its customer base across various income levels and its investment in high-margin advertising revenue are key factors driving this performance. As e-commerce and retail professionals, it's crucial to recognize that value-driven strategies, coupled with a deep understanding of consumer needs, can lead to substantial growth, even in challenging economic times. https://lnkd.in/gZ94e3Dv #RetailStrategy #EcommerceInsights #ConsumerBehavior #MarketTrends #BusinessGrowth #EcommerceNews

Walmart Q2 earnings report is out, and they crushed it! As businesses and investors are searching for clues about consumer demand, Walmart said Thursday that its U.S. comparable sales, which measures both stores and e-commerce, rose 4.2% in the three-month period ended July 26, a faster pace than in the previous two quarters. I have been amazed how often Walmart has been overlooked or underestimated by the media and analysts. At the height of Covid, I was doing interviews on a regular basis and the media was fixated on the demise of brick and mortar and focused on e-commerce. No retailer is in closer proximity to the core of the United States population than Walmart. Walmart's techonology matched with their store fleet positions them perfectly as retail evolves. I encourage anyone with an interest in retail to travel to Bentonville, Arkansas. If you do, you will find the Walmart story even more amazing. No excuses as to your inability to operate a successful business if you aren't in a gateway city. Nice work by leadership and all the Walmart team members! #retail #retailnews #retailtrends #cre https://lnkd.in/gPjUVzKG
