Why Walmart decided to say it would raise prices — and risk Trump's fury
WMT
Published: May 20, 2025 by: CNBC
Sentiment: Negative

Walmart's announcement on Thursday that it will hike some prices due to tariffs came at a risk — and led to a critical social media post by President Donald Trump. The big-box retailer's thinner margins, price-sensitive customers and desire to influence policymakers' decisions may have factored into its decision to speak out, according to retail analysts.

Tariffs, Trump, And Thin Ice: Why I'm Sell-Rated On Walmart
WMT
Published: May 19, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

I'm giving Walmart Inc. a Sell rating for its near-term downside risks from tariff uncertainty and rising costs that'll weigh on margins. Despite strong growth in high-margin segments like Walmart Connect and Walmart+, I see more room for weakness than strength for gross margins. Earnings missed sales estimates and warned of higher prices, and now Walmart is facing pressure to absorb the cost impact.

Sentiment: Negative

There's no denying that the current state of the S&P 500 index can be summed up in a couple of words: volatile and uncertain. President Trump's recently rolled out trade tariffs create a less clear future for global trade and the costs to be paid and handled by hundreds of businesses in the United States, indirectly hurting the ability for management and Wall Street analysts to forecast earnings potential down the line.

Coupang: Next-Gen Walmart
CPNG, WMT
Published: May 15, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

In this review of Coupang, we will consider the nature of the business, and, in doing so, better understand its cash flow durability, which is important in understanding its valuation. We will then consider the business' recent performance and growth runway, long-term margin expansion opportunity, and perform a valuation exercise. In my view, the market continues to wholesale reject the possibility of margin expansion, new product launches, new geographies, and new acquisitions. As such, I believe Coupang is undervalued today, and, over time, the market will come to appreciate the substantial economic content latent within the Coupang business.
