Summary
Walmart beat earnings and revenue estimates for Q4, but expects profit growth to slow in the current fiscal year. The company saw strong gains in e-commerce and membership programs, but shares fell over 6% as outlook disappointed Wall Street. Walmart CFO mentioned potential impact of tariffs on Mexico and Canada. Despite challenges, Walmart's newer moneymakers like advertising business and third-party marketplace drove higher margins. The company also increased its dividend and saw its stock price rise.
