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.

COMMENT
Had its big run due to people trading down on how they shop as well as tax rebates that have gone out to Americans. This has happened before and historically when the economy has been weak it has been a temporary situation.
DON'T BUY
Seems to be doing well, but the stock has not been a great performer. If she had to have a retailer, this would be the one because the consumer is going to downshift.
BUY
Started going higher, then pulled back. If you want exposure to retail, this is the only one to own. Executing well. Good risk/reward trade.
DON'T BUY
Not a big fan of any retailers right now, particularly in the US. The US is clearly into a slowdown in the US consumer is leading the downturn. However, if you have to beat and a retailer's stock, they are winning on the trading down activity in the market. The best of a bad lot.
DON'T BUY
Was in a downtrend from early 04 until mid 05. From that time on, it was in a base year. It is either building up steam to go back up or is about to go back down.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Nov 27/06. Up 6.2%.) Continues to do all the right things. $1 billion in sales every month.
DON'T BUY
Hasn’t performed well of late. Trades at a pretty reasonable multiple. With all the advantages they’ve had with the weak US$, they’ve not been able to translate that into the earnings growth he would like.
DON'T BUY
No longer a growth company. It'll probably end up being in just a flat trading range. At a recent breakdown with a gap in August. Wouldn't be too excited about this one.
COMMENT
Has the potential to capture the benefit of the Christmas sales. Their clients are somewhere between the $25,000 and $40,000 and high gas prices hurts this segment. Have a great balance sheet. Well run.
HOLD
33% positive differential. Will be in top 10 spot by the end of month. Secular bet. You’ll do quite well in several years.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 27/06. Down 6.3%.) The company is growing into its stock price. Continuing to grow their sales. Still a Buy.
BUY
Has been hurt by the financial problems of the low-end consumer. Also had some executional problems with some of their international franchises. Valuation is very compelling now.
COMMENT
Continuing to go through a lot of expansion. Shutting down a lot of retail space in North America. Very well run organization. Doesn't expect you will see the same growth as there has been in the past.
COMMENT
A great time to buy non-Canadian assets, however.Walmart can only grow by same stores growth or opening new stores. Management is going to slow down superstore growth. Not a ton of downside, but wouldn't be his favorite bid for a US retail store.Is ambivalent about it.
DON'T BUY
Has really not gone anywhere. Have gotten so big it is hard for them to keep growing at the same rate.
