Here's what the company reported compared with what analysts were expecting, based on a survey by Thomson Reuters: Deschide un cont de tranzactionare! Walmart said U.S. online sales climbed 40 percent during the quarter — a sign that changes like a new website redesign and grocery delivery options are paying off — and the company is still anticipating an increase of 40 percent for the full year. In prior quarters, Walmart's digital sales growth had moderated somewhat from a 50 percent jump logged in the third quarter of last year. The company also benefited as a cool April turned into a warmer May and shifted sales of items like air conditioners, swimwear and gardening supplies into the quarter. Building on the momentum, Walmart raised its sales and earnings outlook for the full year, excluding any impact from its acquisition of Indian e-commerce company Flipkart, which is still in the process of closing.
