| 0:00.0 | I'm Julia Borsden, and you're listening to CNBC's Tech Check. Our show is live weekdays at 11 a.m. Eastern, listen in. |
| 0:08.6 | Good Tuesday morning. Welcome to Tech Check. I'm Carl Kintania with John Fortin. Dear Durbosa. Today, Walmart's warning heard across the street as the company cuts its forecasts on weakening demand. |
| 0:19.0 | What that means for consumer-focused names like Microsoft |
| 0:22.1 | and Apple? Plus is the cloud recession-proof? A check-in on the enterprise side of things, |
| 0:27.1 | ahead of results from Google and Amazon this hour. And then finally, ever traded crypto on |
| 0:32.0 | Coinbase? Well, according to the SEC, you may have broken the law. That story is coming up |
| 0:36.9 | later on this hour as well, John. |
| 0:38.6 | Yeah, we're going to start this feed with consumer weakness, though. |
| 0:42.1 | Walmart warning that shoppers are spending more but getting less because they're spending |
| 0:48.6 | it all on food and energy, higher margin items like apparel's and TVs, therefore not moving. |
| 0:54.6 | Walmart shares plunging, taking down names like Amazon and Etsy in the process, |

| 1:19.1 | cutting 10% of its workforce, CEO Toby Lukie saying he expected surging e-commerce sales to |

| 1:29.3 | Shopify shares down 80% since the high in November. It reports earnings tomorrow. |
| 1:36.4 | Dee, it seems like we're starting to see signs of a scenario that I've been concerned about |
| 1:41.3 | for a while. Consumers racking up debt, spending down their savings |
| 1:46.3 | to have a good time during the summer because we deserve it, but then tightening the belt |
| 1:49.8 | when the bill comes due, right? The bank said the consumer is still spending. Walmart backed |
| 1:56.0 | that up. Same store sales were up, but that's because everything's more expensive, not because people are actually buying more. So now we're trying to figure out it seems how profits shake out in all of this and where that leaves e-commerce and tech. Yeah, and that's why maybe it doesn't necessarily feel like a recession at this moment. People are still spending to go out and travel, do all the things they couldn't do during the pandemic. But eventually those bills are going to come home. I guess the key question, when we're looking at all the big tech earnings this week, and that will largely determine the direction of the market going forward is Amazon is a big question mark, right, Carl, I mean, B of A in a note this morning tried to look at Walmart's implications for Amazon.
