Sales rose 4.5 per cent at U.S. Walmart stores open at least a year for the quarter ended April 30 .

The results are better than what Wall Street analysts were expecting, suggesting a decision to lower prices to win market share is paying off for the retailer.

President Donald Trump ’s expansive, on-off tariffs haven’t spared the company.

Price increases fuelled by the trade ware are soon expected to hit shelves.
