What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Walmart lowered its third-quarter earnings per share guidance to $0.62 to $0.64, which was below the prior estimate of $0.6834. The guidance adjustment was pressured by three factors: over $2 billion in extra fuel costs, new drug pricing rules cutting 125 basis points from U.S. comparable sales, and a headwind from Flipkart's Big Billion Days sale.

The reduction in guidance and subsequent stock decline illustrates how rising operational costs and competitive pressures from large e-commerce sales events can impact major retailers. The event highlights the financial effects of both input cost inflation and market competition on corporate earnings.
