Due to the higher costs from the tariffs implemented by President of the United States (POTUS) Donald Trump, retail corporation Walmart is set to raise its prices on goods. Responding to the news, Trump penned a strongly worded message addressed to Walmart, chastizing the company and warning the retailer that he will be keeping tabs on its moves.<\/p>\n

Walmart, long lauded for its ability to keep prices relatively low, now finds itself making a difficult pivot. The announcement to\u00a0increase prices<\/u><\/a>\u00a0followed the release of Walmart’s first-quarter earnings, which showed a dip in profit despite steady sales.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The company earned $4.45 billion, or 56 cents per share, in the quarter ending April 30, 2025, down from $5.10 billion, or 63 cents per share, a year earlier. Adjusted earnings per share came in at 61 cents, reportedly beating analysts’ expectations of 58 cents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
