Hi @teddyteddted, thanks for your post. Happy to explain!

This stimulus contains an argument. The conclusion is that retailers "too often resort to using advertised price cuts to promote their wares." Why too often? Because (here is the premise): such price cuts "cut into profit margins and undermine customer loyalty."

Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
