Walmart has warned customers of imminent price hikes on a variety of goods starting this month, directly linking these increases to tariffs imposed by President Trump's trade policies. Although there has been a partial rollback of tariffs, Walmartâs CEO noted the company's inability to absorb the remaining costs due to slim profit margins. CFO John David Rainey indicated that these price increases will likely affect consumers towards the end of this month and into June, even as Walmart's core business remains strong with a notable increase in same-store sales, driven largely by grocery growth and affluent customers.
