Walmart Inc.'s large U.S. revenue is threatened by slim margins, amplified by new tariffs on Chinese imports. The retailer has urged suppliers in China to cut prices by up to 10% to protect its profits, a move challenged by the Chinese government. Despite a strong revenue increase, Walmart must navigate these challenges to meet its 3-5% guidance for the current fiscal year. The operational success hinges heavily on supplier compliance, as failure to cut costs may impact shareholder value significantly as the stock has already started to plummet from earlier highs.
Walmart is squeezing its China-based suppliers to lower their prices to save Walmart's U.S. profits. This is over an objection from the Chinese government.
If they do not, investors are in for a rough year in 2025.
