Wal-Mart Stores on Thursday reported a higher-than-expected quarterly profit and revenue, as sales in the U.S. market rose and the retailing giant kept a lid on costs.
Shares of Wal-Mart closed up more than 9 percent Thursday.
The company posted first-quarter earnings per share of 98 cents, versus $1.03 a share in the year-earlier period. Revenue for the quarter came in at $115.9 billion, against the comparable year-earlier figure of $114.83 billion.
Analysts polled by Reuters expected the retail giant to report earnings per share of 88 cents on revenue of $113.22 billion.
I love this article, because the liberal economists and reporters at CNBC can't imagine why Wal-Mart is ticking up! It must have something to do with lunar gravity, or the price of corn-- anything other than the fact that families all over the U.S. are boycotting Target and shopping elsewhere, in this case, Wal-Mart. Better put on that Sherlock Holmes hat-- it's another liberal mystery!
I won’t root for the chicoms either.
Target has facilitated child rape and female rape and molestation in the very near future. Transsexual confusion is psychological delusional “assumption” . It is treatable with shock treatments or jail. Target is run by sex deviates that could have solved their issue with a PORT-a-Can in the parking lot for sick people to use with a question mark sign on the door.Instead,they have destroyed their company.
Transgender men go to Target to see the girls. They don’t spend enough to cover these losses.
Coincidence? I think not!
May Target go down the toilet...along with the rest of their perverts.
Target sells the same cheap crap from Bangladesh and China - no difference there.
They have adopted the hip, progressive stance, and are using very divisive and social issues as a cheap marketing ploy. Very dangerous - but they have gotten away with it - UNTIL NOW.
You’d think Target would have gotten a clue from what happened to JC Penney.
Bend over, Target.
You like it that way.

“volatile economic trends” = insane decisions by arrogant, clueless CEO designed to piss off customers and drive them to competitors, only to never return.
The economy thanks the American taxpayer and dEBiT cards.
