0906 ET - Walmart CEO John Furner says spending continues to be resilient in the U.S. That's especially true among households making over $100,000 annually, which accounted for the majority of the retailer's market share gains during the recent quarter. Meanwhile, lower-income households, or those making less than $50,000 annually, are still feeling stressed, Furner notes. "We continue to see that wallets are stretched, and in some cases, people are managing spending paycheck to paycheck," he says on a call with analysts. "That said, even these households are emphasizing convenience nearly as much as price." (connor.hart@wsj.com)
