Quick Glance: Retail Giant Walmex's Quarterly Profit Surges Due to Expansion and Wage Increases

Walmart's Mexico and Central America unit saw a 14.4% year-on-year increase in first-quarter net profit, driven by strong sales attributed to Mexicans' higher disposable income.

The retailer's quarterly revenue rose by 9.8% to 226.19 billion pesos, surpassing analyst estimates.

Operating income for the quarter increased by 10.3% to 24.62 billion pesos, with an improved performance compared to sales growth.

Current CEO Guilherme Loureiro will step down at the end of the month, with Ignacio Caride proposed to succeed him as Walmex's CEO and chairman of the board.
