Is Walmart remodeling stores in Delaware? Here's what we know
The Bentonville, Arkansas-headquartered company announced plans to update and improve locations across 47 states as part of its "Stores of the Future" project. More than 650 locations will be remodeled this year, and the retail giant plans to build or convert more than 150 stores, it initially said in a January news release.
The major changes coming to most renovated stores will include:
New look: Bigger and "bolder" signage and displays.
More selection: Expanded departments with new items.
Expanded online pickup and delivery: To accommodate the increasing number of online orders.
Pharmacy layout: Wider aisles, new private screening rooms and private checkout areas.
New addition in Delaware: Merck to build $1 billion facility to produce cancer treatment drugs

Intel's credit rating downgraded by Fitch on demand challenges
Fitch downgrading U.S. chipmaker Intel's credit rating by one notch Monday, according to a note by the ratings agency, which assigned a negative outlook to Intel's rating. Fitch downgraded Intel to BBB from BBB-plus, placing it just two notches shy of junk credit status. The downgrade follows Fitch's assessment that Santa Clara, California-headquartered Intel faces heightened challenges maintaining demand for its products. Fitch cited growing competition from peers such as Dutch rival NXP Semiconductors, Broadcom Inc and Advanced Micro Devices. "Credit metrics remain weak and will require both stronger end markets and successful product ramps, along with net debt reduction over the next 12-14 months" for Intel to recover its recent ratings, Fitch analysts wrote on Monday. Fitch added that while Intel holds a better market position than other similarly rated peers, its financial structure is relatively weaker and it faces "higher execution risk." Intel still enjoys a strong market position in the provision of PCs and traditional enterprise servers, Fitch noted, while warning the company faces heightened PC competition from Qualcomm and AMD. Intel will need to ramp up its PC shipments while also reducing its balance sheet debt to recover its previous credit ratings, Fitch said. The ratings agency called Intel's liquidity profile "solid," which as of June 28 consisted of a $21.2 billion mix of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, as well as an untapped $7 billion credit revolver. It also had an undrawn $5 billion, 364-day revolver that will come due in January 2026, Fitch said. Fellow ratings agency S&P Global similarly downgraded Intel's credit rating to BBB from BBB-plus in December, while Moody's Ratings downgraded its senior unsecured debt's rating in August last year.

Walmart has an alarming consumer boycott problem
Walmart (WMT) , the largest retail chain in the U.S., is once again facing a harsh wake-up call from customers. Over the past few months, Walmart has found itself in the crosshairs of social and political controversy, and customers have been protesting with their wallets. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter In April, the retail giant faced a weeklong boycott from consumers, organized by The People's Union USA, due to the belief that it contributes to corruption in the U.S. economy. Related: Walmart has stern response to major boycott from customers "We've been watching prices rise while wages stay the same," said The People's Union USA founder John Schwarz in an Instagram post. "We've watched these companies rake in billions while families can barely afford groceries, and Walmart, just like the rest of them, has been a part of that problem. So this is where we, once again, draw the line." The group encouraged consumers to avoid shopping at Walmart and other entities it operates, such as Sam's Club, Walmart Pharmacy, Walmart+, and more. Then in May, The People's Union USA doubled down on its efforts and launched another weeklong boycott of Walmart. The following month, Walmart also faced boycott calls from conservative consumers after far-right group Libs of Chicago tweeted a photo of a full-page advertisement that ran in the New York Times in March promoting the No Kings movement, an anti-President Donald Trump protest. The bottom of the ad states that it was paid for by Christy Walton, the billionaire widow of John Walton, one of the sons of Walmart founder Sam Walton. Christy inherited a portion of her husband's Walmart shares after he died in 2005.

Once again, this boycott is being organized by The People's Union USA, which has also called for a boycott of Lowe's and McDonald's this month. In a recent video on Instagram, Schwarz said that over the next few months, his group will target Walmart and other large corporations "harder than ever." "Since February, we have been shaking the foundations of the very corporations that fund this corrupt, treasonous and evil administration, companies that exploit the people, companies that laugh in the face of our struggle," said Schwarz. "We have shown them. We have shown them our strength, and they have felt it. But my friends, we are far from done. July, August and September, we are hitting them harder than ever. These are major companies with massive impact." Related: Lowe's has another major customer problem amid declining sales The People's Union USA has been organizing boycotts of large companies such as Amazon, Starbucks, and Target since February, shortly after President Trump took office in January and enforced drastic policy changes such as tariffs, a strict immigration crackdown and cuts to diversity, equity, and inclusion. On its website, the group states that it aims to "expose corruption and exploitation," "hold corporations accountable," and "lead local and national economic resistance" through these boycott efforts. Many consumers nationwide have been participating in boycotts amid heightened social and political tensions. According to a recent survey from LendingTree, 31% of Americans have boycotted a business for various reasons, such as the company condoning discrimination, its political donations, affiliations, or religious messaging or practices. The latest Walmart boycott comes after the retailer's foot traffic declined by 1.3% in June, according to recent data from Its foot traffic also decreased during the weeks of July 7 and July 14. Walmart is currently battling the threat of the president's tariffs (taxes companies pay to import goods from overseas), which could cause prices to go up in its stores.

"Our model is everyday low prices. But there probably will be cases where prices will go up for consumers." In the first quarter of the year, Walmart's comparable sales increased by 4.5% year-over-year. However, during an earnings call in May, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon warned that the company is noticing customers scaling back their spending in several categories. "Health and wellness sales increased high teens, reflecting higher prescription volumes and over-the-counter sales, while general merchandise sales declined slightly with softness in electronics, home products, and sporting goods," said McMillon during the call.
