In its most recent quarter ended July 31, Walmart reported revenue of $141 billion, a 2.4% increase from the same quarter the year before.</p>\n<p>Management expects the sales momentum to continue into the third quarter.

The disruptions cause prices to rise for everything from materials to labor.</p>\n<p>Management noted it is seeing higher than usual cost pressure and is using its buying power to protect its profit margins while offering low prices to its customers.

It looks like Wall Street thinks Walmart will have little trouble controlling costs when it reports third-quarter earnings on Nov. 16. Shareholders will be hoping they are right.
