Walmart Inc., the nation’s largest retailer and a key bellwether for the U.S. economy, finished 2024 with robust profits and rising sales but hit a few snags in the new year as inflation and tariff concerns rile bargain-hunting shoppers.
In Thursday’s New York Stock Exchange session, Walmart stock was the biggest decliner, falling 6.53 percent to $97.21. At the closing bell, more than 51.5 million shares of the company’s stock had traded hands, three times the normal volume.
