The company now projects sales growth of about 5.5% for the year with a $4.1 billion headwind.

“We had a good quarter with strong top-line growth globally led by Walmart and Sam’s Club U.S., along with Flipkart and Walmex. Walmart U.S. continued to gain market share in grocery, helped by unit growth in our food business. We significantly improved our inventory position in Q3, and we’ll continue to make progress as we end the year,” Doug McMillon, president and CEO, Walmart, said in a statement.
