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

Walmart Inc. (WMT) is facing scrutiny regarding its high valuation, with many analysts noting a significant increase in its price-to-earnings (PE) ratio, currently above 40x. Despite this, the company continues to demonstrate resilience by capturing market share and reporting strong earnings, such as beating estimates for the last quarter. Analysts highlight that Walmart's substantial e-commerce transition has enabled it to maintain competitiveness, although concerns about consumer reliance and economic factors remain present. Overall, expert opinions are mixed on its future, with some believing it is poised for growth aided by its hybrid retail model, while others stress caution due to valuation metrics. The consensus seems to lean towards a cautious outlook, with some suggesting that a significant pullback could present a buying opportunity.

COST
BUY
Doesn't feel you can get hurt with this company. Sound management and loves the way they run their company. Annual return for the long-term will be 6%-8%. Long-term hold.
WEAK BUY
Globally, a leader in retailing. Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B-N) has been buying recently, which makes it interesting. Hard to see how competition could gain meaningful share against them. Not a growth stock but should grow its BV over time.
COMMENT
(Market Call Minute.) Doesn't see the growth in this. If you look 10 years it is pretty much where it is. Could be a trading stock.
DON'T BUY
When times were bad everyone wanted to be here. If people see economic recovery is not going to be so robust, they may return to Walmart. No one buys for the dividend, but it’s nice it’s there. He doesn’t think retail is a great place to be.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 8/08. Down 17.13%.) Stopped out in Sept/Oct last year. Wouldn't buy.
WEAK BUY
Has gained about 10% in share value compared to average of about 50%. It is because they are defensive and since market found a bottom. Money is flowing out of it. Is trading at a reasonable rate and company could grow at 7%.
BUY
Great Company. Trading at lowest PE since 2000. This is not a high beta stock and is not where people want to be right now. They under performed in the recent rally. Increased gross margins by 110 basis points last quarter. Strong company with good global growth. Cheap multiple; increasing dividend; and $15 Billion buy back. Big issue is will they keep the customers that came from higher end retailers.
DON'T BUY
As the Cdn$ appreciates it takes away the return from a US investment and it is not compelling enough for her to buy. This company has benefited with this recession. Consumers are still very price conscious.
WEAK BUY
A stock that everybody goes to when they’re panicked. Defensive stock as people believe there is more shopping here during a recession. In an upswing in the economy, this company tends to lag. Good value, but not a great value.
COMMENT
Next 3 years? Stock price is roughly the same as it was 10 years ago. Excellent franchise. Trading around 14X forward earnings. Growth is very steady but not explosive or exciting. If you are looking for something in the discount retail space, consider Dollar Tree (DLTR-Q) and strictly in the retail space look in those that are more cyclicals such as Best Buy (BBY-N) or Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY-Q).
COMMENT
Has benefited from the recession. With improving economy you should see some money move away.
BUY
US consumers are now reducing debt and are very thrifty. This company has shown itself to be the low cost store. Great balance sheet. Will continue to increase dividends and buy back shares.
BUY
Trading at just about the lowest multiple it ever has at around 12. Likes it here. High quality name.
WAIT
Highly topical stock because of subdued consumer spending. What is really going to drive it are the organic revenue numbers so wait to see what they report in a few weeks.
BUY
A little bit of an uncertain picture right now because they've stopped giving out their same store sales numbers. Well positioned because people will be shopping in places that are more economical. Probably best of breed from a retail standpoint. Have authorized a $15 billion share buyback.
