NYSE:WMT
Fallen below 200-day moving average. Technicals don't look great. Mid-single digit growth rate. Dollar General or Target are better names. Valuation is expensive.
Remember that valuation is relative. Some years have higher valuations, some lower. Make sure you own shares that companies make things that people want and the company leads in its sector. WMT is a powerhouse, but its price performance vs. the market has been falling since September. WMT is really improving its e-commerce, but it will cost them. It's a great company...but there's Amazon. WMT is too defensive for this current market.
Impressive chart. Performing decently. Outperforming Amazon. Worries about valuation, and growth rate is still in single digits. Prefers something like Dollar General.
Doing very, very well. Pushing into new highs this week. Consumer staples tend to do well in latter part of economic cycle. It's somewhat expensive, growth rate is low for him. Decent dividend. Low beta. Owns Dollar General instead. Prefers defensives with growth behind them. How well can it fight long-term against Amazon?
The latest study shows they are competing well with Amazon on groceries. They have made major investments internationally and will soon be recognized by the market. Yield 1.92% (Analysts’ price target is $110.93)
Very good company and well-run. There's enough room for this and Amazon to both do well. Buy this on a pullback. He's long held this.
