Wal-Mart Stores — The retail giant reported quarterly profit of 99 cents per share for the third quarter, 1 cent above estimates, with revenue essentially in line. Wal-Mart's comparable store sales increase of 1.4 percent also matched estimates, and its full-year forecast is largely above Street consensus.
