在沃尔玛公司今年第二次下调盈利预期后,沃尔顿家族的财富周二下跌了114亿美元。
这家总部位于阿肯色州本顿维尔、由沃尔顿家族控制的零售商的股价在纽约交易中下跌7.6%,此前该公司表示,由于物价飞涨,美国消费者控制大件商品的支出,今年调整后的每股收益将下降13%。两个月前,该公司表示每股收益只会下降约1%,而在2月份时,它曾预测每股收益会温和增长。
已故的家族族长山姆·沃尔顿(Sam Walton)以折扣文化为核心打造了这家公司,这种文化曾在经济衰退时期提振了公司股价。在修正前景时,沃尔玛公司提及减少商品库存的成本,原因是随着通胀率达到40年来的最高水平,消费者越来越不愿购买商品。
沃尔顿在世的三个孩子,爱丽丝、吉姆和罗布,儿媳克里斯蒂和克里斯蒂的儿子卢卡斯,拥有这家零售商将近一半的股份。根据彭博亿万富翁指数(Bloomberg Billionaires Index)显示,他们的总资产净值约为1993亿美元,较今年年初下降了近11%。
沃尔玛公司并不是唯一一家股价暴跌的零售商。周二,加拿大电子商务公司Shopify Inc.股价下跌14%,此前该公司首席执行官托比·鲁特克(Tobi Lutke)承认,该公司在新冠肺炎疫情期间迅速扩张的决定没有奏效。因此,该公司表示计划裁员约10%。
根据彭博指数,周二股价下跌使鲁特克的净资产减少了3.83亿美元,使这位现年41岁的联合创始人的财富降至约31亿美元。总部位于渥太华的Shopify股价今年已暴跌77%。
沃尔顿家族通过各种信托持有沃尔玛公司股份,该家族近年来加大了股票减持力度。他们去年减持了62亿美元的股票,该公司表示,这是在回购过程中将家族持股比例控制在50%以下的战略的一部分。
这些股票减持,加上对美国股市和低成本交易所交易基金的外部投资,让他们拥有了充足的收购资金。由罗布·沃尔顿领导的集团同意以创纪录的46.5亿美元收购美国国家橄榄球联盟(NFL)的丹佛野马队(Denver Broncos)。这项于6月宣布的交易仍需获得美国国家橄榄球联盟财务委员会和联盟所有者的批准。(财富中文网)

The Walton family fortune fell $11.4 billion on Tuesday after Walmart slashed its earnings outlook for the second time this year.
Shares of the Bentonville, Arkansas-based retailer, which is controlled by the family, tumbled 7.6% in New York trading after it said adjusted earnings per share will decline as much as 13% this year with US shoppers reining in spending on big-ticket items amid soaring consumer prices. Two months ago, the company said earnings per share would only dip about 1%, while in February, it had predicted a modest increase.
The family’s late patriarch, Sam Walton, built the business around a discount culture that has in the past helped buoy its stock during recessionary times. In revising its outlook, Walmart cited the cost of reducing merchandise stockpiles that customers were increasingly reluctant to buy as inflation hits a four-decade high.
Walton’s three surviving children, Alice, Jim and Rob, daughter-in-law Christy and Christy’s son, Lukas, own just under half of the retailer. That gives them a combined net worth of about $199.3 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, down almost 11% since the first of the year.
Walmart wasn’t the only retailer to see its shares tumble. Canadian e-commerce firm Shopify Inc. fell 14% Tuesday after Chief Executive Officer Tobi Lutke acknowledged the company’s decision to expand rapidly coming out of the Covid-19 pandemic didn’t pay off. As a result, the firm said it planned to cut about 10% of its workforce.
Tuesday’s decline shaved $383 million from Lutke’s net worth, dropping the 41-year-old co-founder’s fortune to about $3.1 billion, according to the Bloomberg index. Ottawa-based Shopify’s shares have plunged 77% this year.
The Walton family, which owns its Walmart stake through various trusts, has stepped up its stock sales in recent years. They unloaded $6.2 billion in shares last year, which the company has said is part of a strategy to keep the family’s stake under 50% amid buybacks.
Those sales, along with outside investments in US stocks and low-cost exchange-traded funds, has armed them with ample funds for acquisitions. A group led by Rob Walton agreed to buy the NFL’s Denver Broncos for a record $4.65 billion. The deal, announced in June, still needs approval from the National Football League’s finance committee and league ownership.
