Major US retailers are disclosing how they plan to use billions of dollars in tariff refunds from the federal government. Walmart received approximately $2.9 billion and will lower prices in grocery and general merchandise, while Target got $994 million and used it to boost margins, contributing $1.65 to its $4.11 earnings per share. Amazon received about $600 million and will proactively refund some customers where it can trace passed-on import charges, using the rest to cut prices. Home Depot received $730 million and used $685 million to reduce cost of goods sold, while Lowe's has received $80 million and is still weighing options. The refunds follow the Supreme Court's February ruling striking down tariffs under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, with more than $100 billion returned to businesses as of late July.
