Panicked Trump Lashes Walmart for Telling Truth on Tariffs
This guy just doesn't have ANY experience in economic policy, foreign policy and most everything that is required for a POTUS to actually do a good job. Walmart won't be able to absorb the tariff..if it does it will go bust.. They WILL have to raise prices so everybody who is a Walmart shopper loses. Proprietary Information: Retailers like Walmart typically do not publicly disclose profit margins for specific product categories or sourcing regions for competitive reasons. * Varying Products: Walmart sells a vast array of products from China, spanning numerous categories with different cost structures and pricing strategies. Profit margins would vary significantly across these items. * Dynamic Pricing and Costs: Costs of goods, shipping, tariffs, and pricing are constantly fluctuating, making a fixed margin difficult to determine. * Impact of Tariffs: Current and potential future tariffs on Chinese goods significantly impact Walmart's costs and their ability to maintain previous profit margins. Walmart has recently indicated that they will likely need to raise prices on some goods due to the increased cost from tariffs. However, we can infer some general insights: * Historically Thin Margins: The retail industry, especially for discount retailers like Walmart, often operates on relatively thin profit margins. Their strategy relies on high sales volume to generate overall profit. * Pressure on Suppliers: Walmart has a long-standing practice of leveraging its purchasing power to negotiate aggressively with suppliers, including those in China, to keep costs low. This often results in suppliers operating on very slim margins. Some reports indicate that Chinese textile suppliers, for example, had an average profit margin of only around 3.9% in 2024, and Walmart has pushed for further price reductions. * Impact of Tariffs on Margins: The recent increase in US tariffs on Chinese goods directly impacts Walmart's cost of goods sold. While they attempt to negotiate with suppliers and explore alternative sourcing, these tariffs put downward pressure on their profit margins. Estimates suggest that tariffs could squeeze Walmart's margins. * Resumption of Sourcing: Despite tariff pressures, Walmart has recently resumed sourcing some products from China, indicating the continued importance of the Chinese supply chain for their inventory and potentially reflecting a need to balance cost and availability. In some cases, retailers are reportedly agreeing to cover additional tariff costs to maintain stock. * Overall Operating Margin: For context, Walmart's overall operating margin for Walmart U.S. was around 5% in fiscal year 2023. The profit margin on specific product categories from China could be higher or lower than this average. In conclusion, while a precise figure isn't available, it's likely that Walmart's profit margins on products from China are generally tight, and current tariffs are adding significant pressure, potentially leading to price increases for consumers. -

Crime British Teen Thought as Missing in Thailand Found Arrested in Georgia
My backpack at Amsterdam didn't test positive for any kind of drugs. It tested positive for nitrocellulose explosives! They asked me a couple of questions then let me continue to my gate. I stopped carrying that backpack on any aircraft and bought a new one, just for travel on aircraft.
