High-income consumers are trading down for "consistency, easy delivery, and best prices." Walmart's scale allows it to hold prices steady while others pass on costs, accelerating market share gains. LONG (Defensive winner in uncertain macro). Margin compression if they absorb too much tariff cost to maintain price gaps.

These brands have raised average selling prices (ASPs) by 30%, 40%, or even 50%, yet their results remain "crazy off the wall up double digits."
