This summary was created by AI, based on 20 opinions in the last 12 months.

Walmart Inc. (WMT) has garnered mixed reviews from experts. While several analysts acknowledge that Walmart remains a strong contender in the retail space, benefiting from market share growth and a successful transition to e-commerce, concerns regarding its current valuation persist, with many suggesting it is trading at historically high price-to-earnings (PE) ratios around 40x or higher. The company's recent earnings beat expectations, but future projections amid rising fuel costs evoke caution. Retail rival Costco (COST) also faces similar valuation challenges, leading analysts to advocate caution for investors considering new positions. Overall, while Walmart's business model is robust and it has transformed into a more pleasing shopping experience, the valuation remains a primary concern for many experts, making it a stock to watch carefully, especially if economic conditions shift.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Well-run, integrating stores and online well. If the economy weakens, it will benefit Walmart. Same-store sales and e-sales are doing well, but the valuation has grown high. Buy on pullback. WMT have been diligent going online and has held up to Amazon.

DON'T BUY
Volume matter in tech analysis? Volume doesn't matter anymore in technical analysis. Nothing negative about WMT's chart which enjoys higher highs and higher lows. Moving averages point higher. Aug.24-Nov. 14 is seasonality, a defensive time. Maybe don't own it now. This will underperform the wider market.
COMMENT

Impressive chart. Performing decently. Outperforming Amazon. Worries about valuation, and growth rate is still in single digits. Prefers something like Dollar General.

BUY
It is coming back to life largely due to their success with E-commerce. They are leveraging the infrastructure they have. They are one of the largest E-commerce companies in the US.
TOP PICK
Bringing technology into a low-tech business. Over 50% of revenues come from groceries. Large investment in India. 6% free cashflow yield. Inexpensive stock doing well. Margins will accelerate. Yield is 1.77%. (Analysts’ price target is $120.88)
BUY
Should I buy REITs with rates this low? REITs have been better investments than personal properties over 20 years. (If you derive income from your property.)....WMT is best in class and have done well getting into online retailing. They have survived. A great balance sheet. They also do well in brick-and-mortar.
DON'T BUY

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?

TOP PICK

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)

BUY ON WEAKNESS

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.

BUY
Walgreen's The pharmacy retail space has come off a lot due to disruption. In this space, he bought Walmart instead; they do everything better yet cheaper. Pharmacy retail is another industry under scrutiny, and he feels Walmart will prevail.
HOLD

He owns Amazon instead. Walmart has all the baggage of being an old-school retailer. Shifting to an internet model is a good thing and bringing in one day shipping is helpful, but the competition is fierce.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
They have been a rock star. Have held up well against Amazon. They are a big entity yet very nimble. They have had great numbers. They were one of the few companies that beat on Q4 and kept their guidance. Same store sales were up. They are doing everything right. It is trading at about 21X. The stock has had a real good run.
BUY
One of the few retailers that looks spectacular. No reason you'd ever sell. The leader of the group. No problem buying it right now.
DON'T BUY
It will do relativity well going forward. It is facing a lot of competition though and trading at 20 times earnings. Growth rate is weak at 2-3%. It looks that it not winning the war with Amazon. He prefers other names in the space.
DON'T BUY
They executed in a very difficult environments, fending off the AMZN-Q effect. They have scope and attractive prices. They are effective in growing their online presence. It is over 20 times price to earnings. He invests in those who can raise dividends. Wal-Mart is modernizing stores so there will be a drain. Dividend increases are not overly likely.
