Walmart inflating prices based on it's investments

 

💻  Flipkart (Owned by Walmart)

• India’s biggest e-commerce platform (especially in retail).
• Bought by Walmart in 2018 for $16 billion.
• Sells everything: electronics, clothing, groceries (via Flipkart Supermart), etc.
• Competes directly with Amazon India.

In 2024, reports suggested Walmart had to inject more capital into Flipkart to keep it afloat, potentially at lower valuations—which may dilute its long-term return.

Flipkart’s losses exceeded $500 million per year in recent cycles, according to filings.
