The 97-year-old company has been forced to invest heavily in its online business to compete

Retailer Canadian Tire Corp Ltd missed third-quarter profit estimates on Thursday, hurt by higher e-commerce-related transportation costs and a drop in retail sales.

Competition from U.S. e-commerce giants Walmart and Amazon.com has hurt Canadian Tire’s brick-and-mortar sales and forced the 97-year-old company to invest heavily in its online business and provide faster delivery.

Revenue at the company’s retail segment fell marginally to $3.3 billion, while analysts on average were expecting it to be $3.43 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.Total revenue rose marginally to $3.64 billion, but missed estimates of $3.73 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.
