Overview

Walmart's international business reported a significant 41.7% drop in operating income for the September quarter, largely due to a $700 million non-cash charge. This charge is related to share-based compensation revaluation for its Indian fintech subsidiary, PhonePe, in anticipation of its upcoming Initial Public Offering (IPO). The charge, while impacting reported profit, did not affect operating cash flow.
