Walmart de México y Centroamérica (Walmex) has reported disappointing financial results for the fourth quarter of 2025, despite the holiday season. The company experienced a 3% increase in sales compared to the same period in 2024, which fell short of their expectations. The report, submitted to the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV), indicates that management is not satisfied with these results, highlighting concerns over weaker consumer demand.

In the financial report, Walmex announced total sales of 282.849 billion pesos from October to December. Although sales growth was low, other metrics such as operating cash flow (Ebitda) experienced an 8% increase, reaching 29.595 billion pesos, while operating profit reflected an increase of 8.5%, tallying at 23 billion pesos. This suggests that while the overall sales performance wasn't as strong as anticipated, the underlying business indicators remain stable, demonstrating solid market share growth and disciplined execution in their core operations.

The implications of these results signal a tougher retail environment for Walmart in Mexico and Central America, where low consumer spending continues to pose challenges. Despite achieving improvements in operating efficiencies, the company will need to address the root causes of the disappointing sales growth and adapt to changing consumer behaviors to regain momentum in the future.
