NEW YORK (AP) — Walmart Inc. reported increases in second-quarter profits and sales Thursday as it continues to pull in price-sensitive shoppers for everyday essentials like groceries despite a challenging tariff environment.

The Bentonville, Arkansas-based company, the nation’s largest retailer, also increased its annual profit and sales outlook. It’s among the first group of major U.S. retailers this week to report quarterly results that should shed more light on how consumers are coping with rising prices because of higher tariff costs.
