Walmart Expects Q3 Sales Impact from Flipkart's Big Billion Days Timing Shift
Walmart has indicated that the timing shift of Flipkart's 'Big Billion Days' sales event from the third to the fourth quarter in FY27 will cause a headwind of over 100 basis points to its third-quarter sales growth, with a corresponding boost expected in the fourth quarter. This shift affects the sales cadence but not overall annual growth. Flipkart's quick commerce arm, Minutes, is also expanding, crossing 1,000 dark stores as part of its growth strategy in India.
