Walmart’s heft in grocery has largely shielded it from some broader economic pressures.
Third-quarter sales in the company’s production and precision agriculture segment, which includes larger farm equipment, fell 25 per cent to US$5.1-billion due to lower shipment volumes, but were partially offset by price realization. “Inventory digestion is complete and we’re now returning to a more normalized demand environment,” CEO Chuck Robbins said on an analyst call.
