We continue to evolve our business mix, while building capabilities that are scalable across markets.

Delivering value

and convenience

Everything we do starts with serving customers and members. We are building trust through having the best prices on a basket of goods. The Walmart U.S. team delivered more than 11,000 rollbacks during Q2 FY27. The company received nearly $2.9B in IEEPA tariff refunds and prioritized investment in price during the period. We’re investing in prices because customers are looking to us for value. At the same time, we’re investing in technology and tech-powered solutions that help make the Walmart experience faster, more convenient and personalized – while expanding the number of occasions where Walmart can serve customers.

Operating

with discipline

Our long-term growth strategy is clear and we continue to execute. We remain focused on serving customers and members better, while managing the economics of the business and reinvesting in long-term strategic value drivers that position us for sustained growth over the long term. Adjusted operating income2 growth in constant currency1 of ~17% in Q2 included a 750bps net benefit from tariff refunds received. Setting aside this benefit, underlying operating income growth was at the top end of our 7-10% guidance. Our business model is only getting stronger and more durable – and this gives us confidence to raise our sales and operating income growth guidance for the year.
