Walmart: Recent Earnings Are Not Enough To Justify This Valuation
WMT
Published: February 20, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

I rate Walmart Inc. stock a “sell” due to its high valuation and the unstable market environment, posing a risk if earnings aren't superb. Recent earnings have proven that WMT can't grow like in 2024 forever and pose a correction risk. I am bearish on US large caps, suggesting that even if WMT doesn't correct post-earnings, a downturn is inevitable.
