Walmart's $30.63 Billion Trading Day Ranks 27th Amid Boycott Threats and Tariff Concerns

On April 7, 2025, Walmart (WMT) saw a trading volume of $30.63 billion, ranking 27th in the day's stock market activity. The company's stock price increased by 0.77%.

Walmart is undergoing significant changes in 2025, with various shifts expected in its retail operations. The company is planning major store changes to adapt to evolving consumer preferences and market conditions.

Walmart's adjusted operating income is projected to increase by 3.5-5.5% at constant currency for the year. However, net interest expenses are anticipated to rise to between $100-$200 million, which could impact the company's overall financial performance.

Despite recent successes, Walmart is facing a significant boycott threat from consumers. The People’s Union USA has organized a boycott from April 7 to April 14, encouraging consumers to avoid Walmart stores and related entities. The group cites concerns over economic corruption and rising prices as the primary reasons for the boycott.

In addition to the boycott, Walmart is also dealing with the threat of tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. The 10% "baseline" tariff on imported goods could lead to price hikes, potentially driving away price-sensitive customers. Walmart is pressuring suppliers to cut prices by up to 10% to mitigate the impact of tariffs on consumers.
