[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And Walmart is a very profitable company so while they likely can’t eat the entire tariff they could indeed help absorb some cost. The downside is that then their profits decrease and their share price will decrease. This does matter because people’s retirement savings are in the market. What we are seeing is the challenge of making central market decisions in a capitalist system. While I’m all for Walmart absorbing some cost and any true Dem should be as well - a better path would have been if there was greater certainty of which tariffs would stick to allow investors to reallocate their portfolios accordingly. [/quote] Walmart's operating income in Q1 2025 was $7.14B on $165.61B in total sales. That's roughly 4.3%. They simply cannot absorb 35% tariffs. Prices are going up and/or product will be pulled off the shelves. Per usual, Trump doesn't know WTF he's talking about.[/quote]
