There are many more grocery options in the US. Walmart does have some pricing power, but not much since it’s in the single digit percentage range at most, and it results in low single digit profit margins.

Meaning if Walmart tried to use their pricing “power” to increase prices more than a couple percent and earn more net income, shoppers would go elsewhere.

I think you're underestimating Walmart's market share.
