Show Notes
Walmart shoppers remain steadfast amidst soaring gas prices, with the national average surpassing four dollars per gallon due to the US-Iran conflict. Despite grumbles in surveys, Walmart execs report no significant changes in shopping habits. Analysts at Jefferies note that while consumers can manage three to four dollars at the pump, four to five dollars starts to hurt, and five dollars is a shock. Walmarts costs for goods and diesel prices are stable, with no adjustments to food inflation plans or GDP growth predictions. The stock market has taken a hit, with Walmarts two percent dip outperforming the S and P five hundreds four point five percent slide. The duration of these high prices remains uncertain, but Walmart appears resilient in tough economic times.
