Walmart shares fell after the company cut its profit expectations as inflation forces shoppers to spend more on food and less on electronics and other discretionary categories.
CEO Doug McMillon said aggressive markdowns on items such as clothing are also hurting margins.
Walmart shares fell, as did the stocks of other retailers, including $TGT Target, and e-commerce giant $AMZN Amazon.
