Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, said Thursday its third-quarter profit rose 3.2 percent to $3.24 billion, or 84 cents a share, from $3.14 billion, or 80 cents, a year earlier. Net sales increased 1.1% to $98.67 billion and would have risen 3.8% excluding currency changes.
Profits, which topped estimates,were helped by inventory management, and the company forecast sales for the fourth quarter would be little changed. Q3 sales were below analyst expectations.
