Allan Tong’s Discover Picks The bearish case includes WMT stock’s high PE now of 44x, popping from 27x just six months ago and double the level right before Covid hit in January 2020. Of course, there remains the bogyeman of labour and product inflation eroding margins. Walmart’s saving grace is its powerful branding and the ubiquity of its 11,400 stores spanning 26 countries. Walmarts across this continent remain the go-to for its million consumers whom, I wager, will rely on Walmart more in 2023. The street agrees with 21 buys and five holds at a price target of $162.56 or 14% higher. Read 3 Recently Upgraded Stocks to Buy for our full analysis.

One of the best performers in the Dow Q3, up nearly 7%. Surprising. In late July, it could its full-year forecast for the second time. They lowered forecast in order for their August report to report. People buy this as a trade-down play going into a recession. Repeated missteps by management means he won't recommend it.

HOLD
Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Walmart stocks and big retail are out of favour on Wall Street. Supply chain delays, hot inflation, higher wages and now product markdowns are plaguing Walmart and its peers. Further, WM’s last report noted a shift in consumer spending from household stuff to experiences. The company lowered EPS guidance as overall revenues in Q1 fell $5 billion from divesting businesses in the U.K., Japan and Argentina, further weighed by another $0.4 million of unfavourable forex. Meanwhile, international net sales slid 13% to $23.8 billion while net sales declined $5 billion. Adjusted EPS in Q1 reached $1.30, down 23.1% from a year ago. Management forecasted another 1% decline in EPS before flattening. That said, the company beat in Q1, but missed in Q2 which caused shares to slide from $148 to below $120.

They reported a few weeks ago and noted a shift in spending from household goods into travel/social. WMT will have to discount some of these goods. The poorer consumer is feeling the impact from higher food and energy prices. Retail stocks have pulled back recently. She's not inclined to buy WMT and prefers Dollar Tree which enjoys more consumer demand.

TOP PICK
Excellent example of consumer discretionary that guided down. Not a perfect buy right here, right now. You can take a half position here. Model price of $111.52, which is -9.6% from here. However, they took write-offs on the balance sheet. Wait for support at $106.40, and buy there. He's taking the giants of consumer discretionary and buying when the Fed turns. Yield is 1.78%. (Analysts’ price target is $155.05)

(A Top Pick Dec 28/21, Down 4.5%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with WMT has gapped down through our stop at $145. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. This will result in a net investment loss of 4%, when considering the previous buy recommendation.

Walmart has beaten its last four quarters. EPS growth continues to outpace the sector, currently at $4.88. Margins tick above industry average, such as a 2.43% profit margin. The PE of 31.4x trades below the industry average of 38.2x, though the street feels that a forward PE is 22.62x is more justified. One department where Walmart lags is its 1.46% dividend yield, which trails the pack, but is safe at a 45% payout ratio.

Undervalued. Its 4,200 stores are now an advantage over Amazon. He likes how WMT has managed inflation, their private label is excellent as is their delivery service, and yet shares have been flat. Makes no sense to him.
