Walmart Inc (WMT)

Long-term fundamentals shape up very, very well. A retail that continues to be able to grow itself, introducing product lines at lower pricing given their ability to buy in massive bulk amounts. Recently have been going after Dollar Store type of channels by introducing $1, $2, $3 items.

100 million people walk through their stores every single week. 30% of their revenues come from international components. 10% earnings growth rate. Yield of 2.57%.

Has never been a strong supporter of this company, but over time it just continues to surge and to do well. Has had a bit of a hiccup lately, partly because of the payroll tax holiday that has expired which affects the lower income areas of society.

You could put your grandmother into it. They are now an operating company and not a growth story and finally realized it. Buying back shares, increasing divided. Domination in retail and shareholder friendliness make them attractive.

Leaked documents spooked investors. Investors may not treat this stock well moving forward. If the support level about $68 is held then he could be a buyer.

Stock prices still above or around the 200 day moving average. If looking for low beta stock at 0.6 versus the S&P and a long-term growth rate of 10% with one of the best brands out there, this is a good stock. 2.3% dividend will probably grow by 8%-9% per year over the next 3 years.

Over the years, this has been a fabulous company. The biggest problem for them has been the Dollar stores both in Canada and the US. If, as an investor, you want to play the lower end of retailing, this company is fine.

Probably a little bit overbought at this time so he would wait for a better entry point such as $70-$71.
