Wal-Mart Stores, the world’s largest retailer, reported a 10 percent increase in third quarter profit on Thursday as it renewed its focus on low prices to attract financially squeezed shoppers around the world. But the retailer trimmed its profit outlook for the fiscal year as it faced a troubled global economy and the renewed strength of the dollar. Nevertheless, Wal-Mart has been one of the few bright spots in retailing. "Wal-Mart is regaining market share across the board," said Richard D. Hastings, a consumer strategist with Global Hunter Securities. Analysts say Wal-Mart is drawing customers away from moderate-price chains like Kohl’s. But the retailer said shoppers were cautious about buying electronics, suggesting that they were watching their spending. Wal-Mart said Thursday that profit rose to $3.14 billion, or 80 cents a share, in the quarter that ended Oct. 31. That compared with $2.86 billion or 70 cents a share, a year earlier. Earnings from continuing operations were 77 cents a share. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected 76 cents. Net sales for the third quarter were $ 97.6 billion, up 7.5 percent from $ 90.8 billion in the year-ago period. "At a time when our customer is feeling the pressure of a tough economy, Wal-Mart’s price leadership is more important than ever," the chief executive, H. Lee Scott Jr., said in a statement. He said that the company’s international division remained its fastest growing division. But Wal-Mart trimmed its profit outlook amid a weak economy and unfavorable exchange rates. The retailer now expects earnings from continuing operations for the full year ending Jan. 31 to be $3.42 to $3.46 a share. For the fourth quarter, the company estimates earnings from continuing operations will be $1.03 to $1.07 a share. Analysts expect $1.11 a share.
