Walmart Inc. (WMT) continues to attract attention from experts with a mix of optimism and caution. Many experts commend the company for its consistent performance, particularly its ability to capture market share and benefit from economic conditions, such as tariff refunds. However, concerns regarding its high price-to-earnings (PE) ratio, which many believe is overvalued, dominate the discussion. Expected earnings growth appears moderate, with some analysts predicting a slowdown, and the question of how the company will perform in a weakening economy weighs on investor sentiment. While some view Walmart as a reliable investment due to its defensive nature and successful e-commerce transition, the consensus leans towards caution regarding its current valuation.

COST
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.
BUY
Market leader and has been gaining market share. Even though retail sales have been dreadful people are trading down.
DON'T BUY
Defensive retailer and has done well through this piece. Fairly valued. Better opportunities available.
TOP PICK
In a tough economy you are going to see efficient operators do well. They do well not just because they can buy on scale but many years ago they decided to pull people in for groceries and sell other products when they are there.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 22/08. Down 1.6%.)
DON'T BUY
Great company and has done very well but everybody that is looking to buy has crowded into this one. Has grown earnings at high single digits year after year but is trading at about 14X earnings making it a little expensive.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Really likes companies that people use every day. Clearly this one is picking up market share from other stores.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Got stopped out recently when it broke through $57-$58. A defensive name.
BUY
Best defensive stock you can find. One of the 2 stocks up in Dow Jones over the last two years. Positioned to gain market share. Would buy for a defensive portfolio. They have control of the situation. Is considering buying.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Sells stuff that people use every day and is pretty cheap.
TOP PICK
Very defensive. As consumers look for better pricing the company will have market share gain.
