the revenue increase is largely driven by inflation though. things cost more, so revenues skyrocket - but so do your material costs - so it is a meaningless stat

Walmart is not a manufacturer. They pass all costs along to the consumer. There is no reason to worry about Walmart's stock being down due to profit taking by share holders.

:laugh:
they sell goods, correct?

one dollar in sales = one dollar in revenue

so when costs of good inflate - revenue does too. showing an increase in revenue means nothing when we know inflation is running rampant

I'll type more slowly for you.

Dummkopf is worried about Walmart stock dropping due to profit taking by shareholders. Their revenue is up, and there is no indication that anyone should worry about Walmart.


A 'drop' in profits to $2.1 billion for the quarter, coupled with revenue of $141 billion is hardly a reason to worry.

I'm not replying to him

I am asking why you made a big stink over a rise in revenue during a period of massive inflation

and now I see - because you are retarded.
 
Well, a picture is worth a thousand words!

Walmart is going to retard themselves into a startup with something better taking some of their market share.

A busy Super Walmart with only 2 cashier lanes open and all lines having to wait 20-40 minutes to check out.

That's absolute stupid, and probably at the corporate level.

Also people steal like there's no tomorrow with those scan n go checkout machines.

All somebody has to do is be a little bit better and they're going to be losing chunks of business.

Dow down 1160 points

PPI ( produced price index) is even more inflated then CPI (consumer price index)
meaning corps are eating into profit -they cant pass all the costs onto consumer

If the 2nd quarter is also negative GDP....we are officially in a recession. Good grief.

"Revenues" =/= "Profits". Learn commerce.
