CoGS Forecast Historical Forecasted
Focus on… • Revenue • Cost of Goods Sold • SG&A
Analyst call • Sluggish sales, our stepped up investment in Global eCommerce, as well as ongoing investments in our leverage and compliance organizations, made it difficult to leverage operating expenses as a company.
Analyst call • We’re committed to operating expense leverage across our businesses. We will continue to focus on being best-in-class operators, which will allow us to invest heavily in price and deliver stronger top-line results.
My thoughts • Walmart to increase smaller stores • Diseconomies of scale • Walmart to become more global • Could result in economies of scale • But would require investments and admin. • Track record makes me skeptical! • But trust they will improve
