I didn't really get doom and gloom from the article - most of the statements were either factual (for example, commenting that the express stores made up less than 1% of global revenue), or what I would consider to be fairly apt speculation (suggesting that closing express stores reflects that Walmart didn't see the business it had hoped, this suggestion coming right after a paragraph that explains the function of the Express Stores). I mean, the comments they had from analysts even basically echoed your sentiment that it's just business sense, so I'm not sure how you got Doom and Gloom from the article. The title is a bit bait-ish I guess, but the rest is fairly normal reporting.
