How are you going to compete against Walmart? Comparable store sales up 4.2%, compared to an industry average of 2.8% in the general merchandise sector. Operating Income up 8.5%. They are taking share of high-end, medium, and low-end customers. Last quarter they had 7,200 Rollbacks mostly funded by manufacturers. And the news continues to report on that today! This makes people think they are cutting their prices even more. Technology can be a great equalizer, but the days of spreadsheets and arbitrary price matching and rules are gone. Walmart has size and scale, but they are also investing in technology. So as a competitor, you can pick your spots, but you need the technology to do it. Are your prices driving the image you want to get your customer base, while still increasing revenue and profits? Are your promotions delivering to their business objectives? Can you negotiate the right terms with your vendors to ensure it benefits you? Or are you blindly taking the offers they have determined? You can win against Walmart. https://lnkd.in/g_rKgEXF

Shares of Walmart, Inc. were gaining around 8 percent in the pre-market activity on the NYSE after the retail behemoth on Thursday issued third-quarter guidance, expecting growth, and also raised its fiscal 2025 forecast. Meanwhile, adjusted earnings forecast for the third quarter is below the market estimates, and for fiscal 2025 is in line or below the Street view. The revision in full-year outlook was after reporting higher second-quarter operating income and net sales, despite weak net profit. Walmart U.S. comp sales also increased 4.2 percent. #Walmart #earnings #retailers #USretailers #NYSE
