Walmart Warns Tariffs Turning Cart Rolls Into Expense Rolls
In a shocking turn of events, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon reveals tariff costs are climbing faster than bread prices on Black Friday, hitting more imported goods weekly. Despite fierce price pressure giving shoppers at least a 'smart and value-conscious' workout, Walmart still reported a 4.6% sales bump and predicted a 'strong holiday season ahead.' CFO John David Rainey chimed in noting markups were lower than feared, but don’t break out the confetti just yet—McMillon admits the cost hikes will 'continue into third and fourth quarters.' Shoppers are eyeing cheaper brands like they're collecting Pokémon cards in a Wal-Mart aisle summer saga.
