Walmart Releases Q3 FY25 Earnings

Nov. 19, 2024

We're
driving growth.

"We had a strong quarter, continuing our momentum. Our associates are working hard to save people time and money and to transform our business. Across markets, we continue to grow, and our newer businesses helped profits grow faster than sales while we worked to lower prices."

Including a 0.6% decline on more than 5% sales growth in Walmart U.S.

And, we’re

investing
in our future.

We’re encouraged by the steady momentum building across the business. Customers and members continue to respond to our value proposition as we provide lower prices and greater levels of convenience. We’re broadening our assortment, improving customer experiences and earning their trust, while seeing share gains as a result. We’re also realizing benefits from the investments we’ve made in our core omni-retail business and seeing improved profitability with newer businesses.

This quarter’s strong results, once again, show that more customers are choosing Walmart more often because of the investments we’ve made into our core omnichannel retail business to lower prices and provide greater levels of convenience. We’re executing on our strategy, and there is still much more opportunity ahead.
