Walmart intends to raise prices, allowing other retailers to follow its lead, whereas Home Depot is focused on using other operational strategies to maintain prices. This discrepancy stems from factors like profit margins, with Home Depot enjoying wider margins and less dependency on food sales compared to Walmart, which sees a significant portion of its revenue from groceries.
