In 2006, the company pulled out of Germany and South Korea in the face of stiff competition and poor sales. Still, Wal-Mart has been weathering the economic crisis better than most. The company on May 14 announced it earned $3.02 billion in the three months ended April 30, about equal to the profit it made in the same period in 2008.
