Target and Other Retailers Ditch Personal Checks: A Shift Towards Digital Payments

Broke On: Tuesday, 09 July 2024 Starting July 15, 2024, Target will no longer accept personal checks as payment due to decreasing usage.

Walmart's Q3 Earnings Beat Expectations, But Cautious Consumer Spending Outlook Causes Stock Drop

Broke On: Thursday, 16 November 2023 Walmart reported a 2% increase in adjusted earnings for the three months ending in October, slightly above the Street consensus forecast of $1.53 a share. Despite the better-than-expected Q3 earnings and a raised full-year profit forecast, the company's shares experienced a sharp drop in early Thursday trading due to a cautious outlook on consumer spending. The company's US unit saw a 4.9% rise in comparable sales during the three months ending in late October, outperforming competitors like Target Corp. and Home Depot Inc. who reported declines. Walmart's CFO, John David Rainey, cited a 'sharper falloff' in sales during the last two weeks of the fiscal third quarter. Factors such as higher interest rates, dwindling savings, and student-loan repayments are believed to be affecting demand. Walmart's CEO Doug McMillon mentioned that prices for some groceries are falling, which is good news for shoppers but puts pressure on the company to sell more. The company reported profits of $453 million for the three-month period ended Oct. 31, with revenue rising 5.2% to $160.84 billion. Walmart now expects annual sales to be up anywhere from 5% to 5.5%.
