Bea Chiem joins Diane King Hall at the NYSE to discuss Walmart (WMT) after earnings. She discusses the trade-down effect with higher-income shoppers visiting discount retailers like Walmart. Bea says the company has pricing power to keep costs low. With Walmart's CEO transition taking place in early 2026, she sees "more of the same" coming in with a "strong platform." She adds the shoppers are buying higher-priced discretionary items saying the company "maintains margins despite higher costs."
