0924 ET - Walmart is planning for a variety of scenarios related to ongoing negotiations around the global tariff war, but believes the most likely scenario is one in which those talks result in bilateral agreements between the U.S. and its trading partners and lower tariff levels, CFO John David Rainey says on a call with analysts. That scenario would allow Walmart to achieve full-year sales and earnings guidance, the CFO says. However, if the dramatically higher tariffs originally proposed by President Trump are restored, Walmart's financials would take a significant hit and its ability to grow earnings this year would be jeopardized, Rainey says.
