Walmart warns sales growth slows as consumers stay cautious

The warning points to weaker demand even as households appear financially stable, according to NYT Business.

Walmart has warned that its sales growth is slowing, marking its weakest pace in years as shoppers remain cautious, according to NYT Business.

The outlet says the shift reflects how Americans are tightening their wallets, even while personal balance sheets are described as healthy.

NYT Business also notes that other large U.S. retailers are issuing similar caution, underscoring broad pressure on consumer spending for the sector.
