Walmart’s U.S. sales growth hit a six-year low at 2.6%, down from 4.1% last quarter—even after excluding pharmacy impacts. Yet they beat profit expectations thanks to a tariff refund, using it to slash prices on 11,000 items, especially groceries, as energy costs soar. Meanwhile, e-commerce surged 24%, now accounting for 23% of U.S. sales, doubling in five years. Walmart Plus and advertising are driving new revenue streams, while the company quietly gains market share from higher-income households. Despite a cautious outlook, they project 4–5% full-year growth, falling short of Wall Street’s hopes as they navigate inflation, shifting consumer habits, and a rapidly evolving retail landscape.
