Walmart Profit Margin
Walmart Profit Margin
Walmart Inc https://g.co/kgs/iRfoMz
Walmart's profit margin is only 2.33pct.
Which is 2.33 cents on the dollar.
It isnt like they are a ATM machine that has endless profit to spend. They work on very small margins and have to watch every penny

sigh, the actual Walmart number is

24.3%
and the NET profit margin which is in single figures is manipulated for tax reasons, it is AFTER they pay all kinds of huge salaries and other benefits.
Most corps seek a ZERO net profit margin for tax purposes, that is how business works.

Re: Walmart Profit Margin
Net profit closer to zero means less or no taxes. Corps seek to be as close to zero as they can.
My very profitable corp for many years sought to have ZERO net profits so we wouldnt have to pay corp taxes.
Many ways to give yourself that money so you dont have to pay tax on it. Or if you give yourself a bonus depending on the type, you may pay income tax on it.
The scum who own Walmart spend the profit on themselves, not the employees.
For instance if we were going to have too much profit, buy a new Escalade.
Our board con is self employed, he knows how this works. I said my corp, I was one of two.

Re: Walmart Profit Margin
Great point, Lib. Glenn DOES know how it works, but he's pretending otherwise. Walmart doesn't want to show much net profit, so they dole the money to shareholders (read: the Waltons) first, There's a reason they are six of the ten most wealthy people in America.

And now an explanation of accounting and tax rules.
Payments to shareholders, dividends, are after tax and not an expense item. Does not reduce Walmarts tax liability.
Stock buybacks are not an expense item and do not reduce tax liability.
When Walmart pays the ceo $21 million, $19+ in stock awards, he pays 40% in income taxes to the federal government. That’s considerably more income than the max 21% C corporations pay.
Re: Walmart Profit Margin
Yeah, the stocks and shareholders isn't one of the ways they dispose of profit so they dont have to pay tax.gounion wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 10:34 pm Great point, Lib.

When they pay bonuses to officers or employees then it reduces your bottom line, and in some cases we would use K-1 distributions to avoid some tax. Regular bonuses are taxed as earned income.
Mostly what you do is SPEND the money before you pay tax on it, before you get to the bottom line. Some corps do this in a GREEN and employee supportive way, others like Walmart do the opposite.
Our family corp, sort of, would also give bonuses to all the employees at the end of the year, even further reducing our tax liability. My biz partner HATED paying corp taxes, and complained about it ALL the time
I have always said they could do away with the corp tax and just make rich people pay their fair share and call ALL income earned income. No capital gains tax breaks, etc.
Why in the FUCK are we even talking about this, another attempt by a right winger to create disinformation about something.
In this case to try to create the lie that Walmart is somehow not a big profit company and therefore they must be forgiven for their behavior.

Also the taxes those shareholders pay on those dividends is higher than the corporate tax rate.
Fact is retail stores like Walmart Target etc and Grocery Stores operate on a very small profit margin.

Re: Walmart Profit Margin
So you complain that Walmart doesn’t pay its employees enough and then criticize them for paying bonuses. You say it’s because Walmart is seeking to reduce its taxable income but what you don’t mention is that bonus income is taxed at the employee level as earned income, often at a higher rate.Libertas wrote: ↑Wed May 18, 2022 12:55 pm Yeah, the stocks and shareholders isn't one of the ways they dispose of profit so they dont have to pay tax.

To hell with those at the bottom. And no, $15 an hour still isn't a living wage.
Re: Walmart Profit Margin
Cant imagine Walmart paying bonuses to hourly workers in the first place, but they would be next to nothing probably and now dont exist
a $1 an hour, what pricks. It is the bonuses to executives and officers OF COURSE that I was talking about. Most dont pay bonuses at all or of any consequence to the working stiffs. But then, most corps dont hire Americans anymore anyway so I guess it doesnt matter, does it. Or almost any corp who can will go out of their way to outsource the job out of America.
Walmart is horrible, but the other retailers arent much better. Working people get fucked all the time.
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/09/walmart ... base%20pay.Does Walmart give bonuses to hourly employees?
Walmart will end its quarterly employee bonus program after raising base pay by $1 an hour. On Thursday, Walmart said, it's ending quarterly bonuses, which have been paid to employees for decades and would raise its starting wage to $12 an hour, up from $11.

Many companies have raised wages and sweetened perks as they try to attract and retain workers in a competitive labor market — but Walmart has lagged behind other retailers like Target and Amazon that have already hiked their starting pay to $15 an hour.

Re: Walmart Profit Margin
From a taxation point of view, yes. It’s paying employees and the same dollar taxed at say 21% at the corp level might be taxed at a higher marginal rate to the individual employee. That was Libs point was that somehow The US government wasn’t getting its share of tax dollars. But those dollars do get taxed at either the corp level or at the individual level.
Re: Walmart Profit Margin
I am all for bonuses to working people.
Eliminate the corp tax and make ALL income regardless of how it is gained taxed as earned income. And OF COURSE it would require a change and OF COURSE all cons would oppose it and maybe a third of the democrats.
And NOT ALL of it is taxed, corps spend money in very creative ways on themselves NOT to pay taxes. The new Escalade is just one example. Corp jets and other ways to enjoy the money but not take it as cash and pay tax.
How about INVEST the money in AMERICAN workers and ECOLOGICAL cleanliness? Never, right?

Re: Walmart Profit Margin
Yeah, all you care about is those at the top getting theirs. You have no problem with Walmart spending years forcing companies to shut down American factories paying good wages to people across the country, and offshore those factories to places using child and slave labor to give Walmart better prices so the Waltons can be richer than Midas ever dreamed.JoeMemphis wrote: ↑Wed May 18, 2022 8:34 pm From a taxation point of view, yes.

It’s three and they’re ranked 11, 12, and 13.

And they’re rich because Walton Enterprise LLC owns 48-50% of Walmart stock. And the Walton family owns Walton Enterprise LLC.
And the Walmart stock has significant value because investors like stability, consistency. Innovation, investment in the business and an uninterrupted history of stock dividends. Regardless of the small profit margin.

The Snapper mowers join the Murray brand walk mower lineup introduced last year at Walmart, as well as a new Murray handheld line for 2013, said Jeff Coad, vice president of marketing, Briggs & Stratton Products Group.
The Snapper mowers are manufactured in cooperation with one of Briggs & Stratton’s engine customers. All walk and ride mowers sold at Walmart feature Briggs & Stratton engines that, along with the mowers themselves, are assembled in the United States, the company said.
Snapper dealers will also sell these walk mower models and offer service for Walmart-purchased walk mowers.“

In other words, at the moment, final assembly of SOME products are still done in America from parts made in China.Wondering if Snapper’s lawn equipment and outdoor power products are made in the USA? As a global brand, we engineer and design our products in the United States, however we have supply and production partners all over the world.
For select walk mowers, tractors and zero turn mowers available through our independent dealer channel, the Snapper brand takes pride in manufacturing in America. These Snapper mowers are made in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Sherrill, New York.
Additional product lines like outdoor power products, snow throwers and our electric lines are produced with our trusted partners in China under our rigorous design and testing standards.
As a part of the Briggs & Stratton, Snapper headquarters is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The American company provides more than 3,000 American jobs, assembling Briggs engines in plants throughout the United States.
And you can bet that the mowers sold today in Walmart aren't the quality that is detailed in the Fast Company article. But money is much more important than the pride of workmanship detailed by Weir.
Of course, Briggs and Stratton bought out Snapper, and shoved Wier and his crazy ideas out the door.
