Bears say
Walmart's international net sales decreased by 0.7% to $32.2 billion, attributed to currency fluctuations and changes in sales promotions, which raised concerns about future revenue performance. The company also experienced pressures on operating margins, falling short of market expectations amid weakened consumer spending and intensified competition, with operating margins declining to 4.4%.
