WMT tanking down what does that tell? Nothing.

WMT was bull trap 🪤?

WMT out here with a PE higher than NVDAs

WMT hit its ATH today and it’s crickets on here 😂

No-Improvement3164

WMT at ATH. Those tariffs must taste good. 😂

ThinkingOfTheOldDays

looks like WMT is regaining momentum. 110 at some point the next few weeks seems possible.

Buying WMT leaps in August was the move.

Yall notice the market is pinned to the $0.25 +/- in prep for FOMC tomorrow? SPY: 660.00 MSFT: 509.04 AMZN: 234.05 GOOG: 253.42 WMT: 103.42 AAPL: 238.15 TSM: 262.06 IBM 257.52

Someone just bought 180k in 105 c this friday expiration. WMT calls right before close today. Some talk about WMT might be in on the deal

Rare-ish_Birb

When WMT buys Tik Tok on Friday, it'll finally be worth its valuation. 😂

teamyg

Potential tiktok buyers: ORCL (with WMT), MSFT, AMZN, Musk, Mnuchin.

Rare-ish_Birb

Ya. No debt, 12 PE. Somebody should take a run at them... Like WMT or ORCL or MSFT

LongHealth

WMT owns KLAR warrants, giving them a big incentive to expand the integration and to maintain exclusivity.

Rare-ish_Birb

WMT was a suitor the first time it was offered up, but didn't close. They still want it to drive advertising and sales channels. Honestly, the should buy PINS too.

Frozen_Shades

I haven't been following that closely. WMT wants buy it?

Rare-ish_Birb

Yeah. I'm betting WMT leads, and ORCL maintains the hosting contracts.

Rare-ish_Birb

What if WMT buys Tik Tok

Old_Bay_Boy

This is pure Copium. Thinking that "when shit hits the fan" (whenever that is?), that people are going to be going and impulse-buying at Target instead of discount buying through WMT, AMZN, or even COST is delusional.

Normal-Meringue7592

There is only 3 possibilities: 1. ORCL alone or + WMT (they made a bid together in 2020) 2. Amazon - makes sense to have TikTok shop with Amazon market place - have been in talks for bid 3. MSFT - could be, but had some regulatory challenges in china - have been in talks for bid Meta and Google won’t be possible due to monopoly of social media platforms. Most likley Oracle. Watch the unusual options this week for OTM calls for Friday or next Friday that are gigantic. Will give you a good hint

virtual_adam

I’m not going to go one by one. Obviously these people spread their wealth around, but 1) if they had to liquidate their public stock in one day they wouldn’t be that rich, which is why their net worth is semi fake 2) more than 50% of their net worth is public stock. For gates it’s MSFT, WMT, BRK, WMT, CATKOF, FDX and a few others Bezos: of his $240B net worth, $205B is AMZN

Given the environment of the last few years, Target has lost share to WMT. WMT at one point thought this was a temporary thing but like 1-1.5 years later Walmart still talking in the last quarter about winning share and the higher income trading down ("Share gains across income brackets led by upperincome households.") Target should have found someone from outside the company to lead but they didn't so now it becomes ... promotions? Competing on price? Neither great for shareholders. Trying to improve the store experience? Okay but if people are looking for value that's not getting them back. More into grocery? Yeah. There's not great options. Lets say there's a recession soon: more people shopping at Walmart. Lets say inflation gets worse again: more people shopping at Walmart. If things get back to a better place economically in a way where people don't feel they have to trade down as much, then maybe Target gradually gains those people back - but how likely is that anytime soon? It's a very cheap stock and I don't think it's a 0 but the environment that has worked against it has certainly persisted longer than people thought and they didn't get ahead of that. They keep sending deals to try to get me to sign up for their membership program - have to imagine it's not selling like they'd like (and it's just not compelling.)

brannock_

-911 fewer jobs created, even if they weren't destroyed, still suggests the economy isn't as robust as everyone seems to think. WFC said balances were lower than *pre-pandemic*, not covid. Smal but important distinction. I'm well aware that banks tend to front-run their statements, and I often trade against them when they say to be bullish something or bearish something else. > No it isn't. You are misinterpreting the data. Last month we had a massive 0.7% MoM print. When combining both July and August it implies an annualized producer inflation rate of 7.4%. Okay, conceded. > Do you have evidence corporations are inflating their numbers on a wide scale? Actual cash flows are increasing. Moreover the incomes I stated are individual incomes, not corporate. I don't have the evidence on hand but if you really want I can go try to dig it back up. NVDA is doing funny stuff with their books reports, iirc it's something like double-charging their expenditures to make their AI spend look even more exciting than it really is. TSLA is completely fraudulent. And literally just now overnight ORCL claimed [they would double their sales revenue annually for the next several years.](https://cdn.geekwire.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/800px-Itanium_Sales_Forecasts_edit-630x428.png) I don't think companies like WMT or TGT are inflating their numbers but they've been saying for awhile now that there's only so much they can do to soak the impact of tariffs. They're also a much smaller portion of the market compared to the wildly inflated bubble companies like mentioned in the previous paragraph. What possibly justifies the insane run STX is on? ANF looked similarly invincible in Summer 2024 before an over 50% correction.

Anyone know why the low-cost retailers like WMT and Costco are dropping?

Will update the growth side later if I remember to: One portfolio, two pies. Defensive: VUSD - 26.66% FUSD - 13.33% JEPQ - 13.33% EQQQ - 13.33% R1GB - 13.33% MSFT - 4% BRK.B - 4% JNJ - 4% COST - 4% WMT - 4% Growth: VUSD - 26.66% FUSD - 13.33% JEPQ - 13.33% EQQQ - 13.33% R1GB - 13.33% Remaining 20.02% is up of Tech/Crypto companies Was thinking at some point to replace FUSD, but there really isn't an SCHD alternative in the UK. Whilst FUSD has really nice growth, the dividend yield is 1.6%, which has gone down in the last 3 years. Almost feels like a less volatile S&P500 with slightly less returns.

Aren’t we all. And WMT is a constant reminder of my regardedness.

WMT ain’t no TSLAugh rocket, but steady tendies still count.

Field_Of_Sorrow

WMT is actively trying to eat Amazon's lunch with their pickup and delivery department, I would definitely watch for them

Temporary-Equal-774

Is this a short term swing play? Any imminent catalyst? Otherwise holding a few months hoping +50% on share price for large cap like WMT looks like a gamble with unfavorable odd

shasta747

Economy is getting worse, people are laid off left and right, high inflation. You better sell and dump money to WMT if you are not into roller coaster ride, otherwise dump into AI-hype stocks.

GOOG, AMZN, WMT in that order.

I-DontCareAnymore22

Here is a recent email sent out by a WMT maintenance employee in relation to automation (symbotic). this email was scrubbed from wmt servers. DC 6025: A Toxic Culture, a Broken Chain of Command, and My Final Message To Whom It May Concern, This letter serves as my formal resignation from my position at Walmart DC 6025, effective August 31, 2025. Let me be clear: this is not about a better offer, a bad day, or a personal issue. It’s about walking away from a system that has become actively harmful — one defined by dysfunction, hypocrisy, and a complete absence of accountability. My departure is not a career move; it’s a final act of honesty in a place that punishes truth and rewards mediocrity. Since I am not given the opportunity for an exit interview, let this letter serve as my final attempt to spark the change this building desperately needs. The Culture Is Toxic — and It Starts at the Top This building is no longer a professional workplace. It is a machine that rewards favoritism, covers up incompetence, and systematically undermines the very people who keep it running. I’ve watched underqualified and untrained individuals walk into skilled roles based on who they know — not what they know. One MST didn’t even know how to use a multimeter and has since caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage. Still employed. Still protected. I’ve watched employees lie about doing PMs, get caught on camera, and face no consequences. No write-ups. No retraining. Just silence. I watched another associate nearly blow himself up due to gross negligence — and somehow, he still works here. Certain associates continue to be shielded despite repeated incompetence. Jason Miller, my Operations Manager, exemplifies everything wrong with leadership here. He has: Appeared intoxicated on multiple Teams meetings, slurring his words, harassing Symbotic engineers, and threatening contractors — in front of witnesses. Blatantly played favorites, treating certain subordinates with care and shielding them from any criticism or accountability, while throwing others under the bus at the first opportunity. Admitted to not reading emails sent to him — and frequently responds with AI-generated replies that he doesn’t even bother to proofread. Cherry-picked candidates for roles and interviews, overlooking qualified, experienced individuals while giving opportunities to people clearly unfit for the job — often out of spite, seemingly to punish those he personally dislikes. Created division on the floor by making it clear that politics, not performance, determine advancement. He is not just disengaged — he is actively damaging morale, sabotaging professional development, and reinforcing a culture of mistrust and dysfunction. And despite all this, he continues in his role unchallenged. These are not rumors. These are facts. Documented, repeated incidents that management has chosen to ignore. And all the while, those of us who show up, care, and carry the weight are expected to keep doing so without recognition, without support, and often while training people who earn more than we do. We’re overworked and under-resourced — while management claps at meetings about 50-cent raises that don’t even keep up with inflation. Leadership by Appearance, Not Action Upper management has become so disconnected from reality that they can’t even show up for general meetings. When we gathered to hear about our “raise,” the GM was in the building but couldn’t be bothered to stay an extra 30 minutes to speak in person. Instead, we got applause from leadership and silence from the floor. That silence wasn’t accidental — it was earned. Meanwhile, money is spent on floor polish that lasted less than a month and made equipment unsafe, windows that increased internal building temperatures, and a back-dock “general meeting area” that was never used — all to put on a show for corporate visits. But when it comes to investing in associates? We’re told to ration electrolyte packets. We’re continuously short on parts to keep the place running. We’re told to make do. Contrary to what our GM likes to say, we’re not running a farm. We’re running a multi-million-dollar facility. And the people keeping it afloat are being lied to, dismissed, and slowly ground down. Even outside this facility, the dishonesty continues. At a college career fair, our company reps handed out flyers claiming that Walmart pays for schooling — conveniently omitting that it doesn’t apply to the school hosting the event. When I confronted them, their tone changed. Because the truth didn’t support the narrative. That same person, who was lying to prospective employees, just got promoted to an AGM position. That only furthers my point: there is something deeply wrong here. Grassroots in Name Only The so-called “grassroots” meetings — meant to hear associate feedback — were abandoned within months. I attended many of them. I saw the facilitators checking their phones, rushing through conversations, and making empty promises. The truth? They weren’t listening — they were performing. Just another box to check. Even with the few recent meetings, I’ve been left out for speaking up. The meetings were consistently scheduled during times when I was not in the building. To the Few Good Ones To the handful of coaches and ops who still try to lead with integrity: this letter is not directed at you. You’ve tried to hold the line. But you’ve been outnumbered, outpaced, and overshadowed by a leadership structure that values optics over outcomes and loyalty over competence. This Place Doesn’t Need Another Wake-Up Call I stayed longer than I should have. I gave more patience than this place deserved. I hoped for change — that someone, somewhere, would finally do the right thing. That hope is gone. There’s no accountability here. No transparency. No honest leadership. Just a culture of cover-ups, favoritism, and performative management. Even complaints sent to the ethics department are met with silence and no reply. I will complete any remaining responsibilities with professionalism — not because this company deserves it, but because I still hold myself to a higher standard than those who run it. Don’t insult my intelligence with a hollow “we’re sorry to see you go.” You’re not. You’ll fill the gap with another unqualified yes-man, and the cycle will continue — until enough people walk out or speak up. Consider this both. Sincerely, Andrew Wagner,

BRK/B, WMT, etc I think

CabinetSpider21

Started trading options in August and average 1000 a month. I only trade options with SPY or some of the big stocks...AMZN, WMT, APPL, etc. I pick strike dates that are 3+ weeks out. If it goes up quick I cash out, if it doesn't go my way, I be patient and or buy the option down with the goal to break even. I had had some good success with this strategy. This is all through Robinhood and it's my fun money. My Roth IRA is in VOO and my 401k my company manages

It'd have F and WMT at least, yeah? I think the problem is defining this in such a way that you don't wind up with _every_ CEO being considered an owner/operator due to the shares they've been handed.

dvdmovie1

Walmart's average p/e in the last 20 years is in the low 20's, last 10 years in the upper 20's. It was 40 recently. I don't know about it getting slammed and I wouldn't bet against it, but agree that people expecting an expensively valued WMT vs short and long-term history to be as effective a recession hedge as it's been in the past could very likely be disappointed. Even as is without a recession, the company is expensive enough that "good" earnings aren't going to be good enough when it's priced for great.

love it when a plan comes together WMT had some wild swings on the cheap calls that expired Thursday you might have done even better, 🤓 but theres no such thing as bad birdies

If you are concerned, WMT isnt going to the refuge for you my guy. GLD, TIPS and mining companies have been my refuge since about 2 weeks ago. The inflation is coming, with or without Powell's rate cuts.

> If the market goes down, buy puts. If it goes sideways, buy calls on VIX. A decade of stagflation= covered calls or an Iron Condor on WMT. You forgot the crystal ball that you use to know what where the market will be going while you hold your options. >Put $25,000 into a margin account and start trading options. It would cost more to make a pile of 250 $100 bills, soak them in lighter fluid and set them on fire. But the $3.59 for the lighter fluid is probably worth it just to avoid the aggravation of the margin calls, and both approaches will end up at the same place.

People still gotta eat and buy crap, even in recession environments. Walmart is picking up middle class people who never shopped there and has a big chance to retain them even after tariffs go away with the W+. I’m very long on $WMT and it’s one of my best performing positions. Up 65%.

PutItOnTheRitz

Gold’s definitely been a winner whenever there’s fear in the system…Do you see it as a full replacement for equities, or just a hedge? I’ve seen people split…some piling into metals, others sticking with defensives like MSFT or WMT as their ‘safety trade.

Objective_Plankton71

For this being an investing subreddit, sometimes y'all's takes are extremely, extremely simplistic. An endless bull market is not the only way to make money with stocks. A good investor can make money with a market that goes up, down, or sideways. Put $25,000 into a margin account and start trading options. If the market goes down, buy puts. If it goes sideways, buy calls on VIX. A decade of stagflation= covered calls or an Iron Condor on WMT. There's a way to make money in any type of market, not just when stock goes up. Study. I swear, if you people studied finance (not on Reddit) half the amount of time you spend worrying about Trump, you would all be millionaires. When you endlessly complain about something without offering a solution, that's called whining. This kind of “doom spiral posting” is addictive but useless for actual investors. Think about it: Traders make obscene money off moves — up, down, or sideways — regardless of whether the jobs report was “expected” or “missed.” Markets predate the BLS. Wall Street, and even global trade centuries earlier, functioned without a government statistical bureau telling them how many stable boys got hired last quarter. BLS data is a signal, not oxygen. Take it away, and capital still flows, earnings still print, companies still buy and sell goods. The tape doesn’t vanish.

Except for WMT and COST, I have avoided retail stocks unless they were swing trades with a lot of pointers pointing in the same direction.

beachandbyte

I mean pretty much, you missing a couple key aspects of how the price changes (it’s not just the price of the underlying instrument WMT) in your example. Most of the ways you will get F’d with options is because of these aspects though. Go research exactly what goes into that 0.38 price and 1.55 price and how that changed over time from your 0.38 to 1.55. Once you understand that and liquidity (options are far less liquid then shares so you want to ensure you are trading at strikes you can get out of when you want). Do some paper trades on historic data so you can internalize what IV does to a position (easy to see around earnings).

WMT is trading at $100/share today, who has targets at $11 or $21? Both of those are ridiculous figures.

It’s because nobody agrees if we’re going into a full on recession or not. If things get worse for the working class, WMT goes up, Nike goes down

WMT, growing revenue. Bullish.

iamaweugene

"But I never understood people who buy a stock and sell a call on it immediately.". I believe this is your problem then! I have been doing this "rinse and repeat" multiple times in a month. I buy back the calls when there is a small profit (usually on the red days). Repeat it again - sell a call - on a green day and keep reaping the premiums. I do this on NVDA , WMT, BTC, T etc.

I was doing this exact same trading pattern on WMT last year. Went from 25k up to 130k in a few months. Then I went one too many times (April) and lost it all.

Striking_Run4430

"Because I am talking about WMT as an example". When??? Just now??? I used KO specifically because you gave a list, VZ, WMT, KO.

Alvin-Lee1954

Because I am talking about WMT as an example and he is using KO different set of numbers - look if you have one option - stock is 92.00 you are putting up 9200 to make about 150.00 - if you put up 10 options 92.00 a share you are putting up 92,000 to make 1500 - I don’t like to go out more than a week . If the stock doesn’t move it expires you keep the premium which on 92,000 was 1500 - on 9200 150. Do that every week and on one option 100 shares you’ll make 600 a month Do that every week and on 10 options 1000 shares you’ll make 6000 a month Now what part of that don’t you understand - ?? This is wmt not ko

Alvin-Lee1954

No - first if it’s in ex dividend you will attract the sharks , it will get called away and you will lose the per share dividend profit x 100. Second if it gets called away you will lose any profit from an uptick after assignment- that’s why it got called away so fast, it’s going up past your assignment point . Last assignment can cost you, there are associated charges . The best case for a covered call is a low volatility stock - VZ , WMT, KO ( Coca Cola ) . You sell higher strikes for less premium, they expire worthless and you keep the premium. You put up 100 shares of WMT maybe 10K and you will maybe make 150.00 - but if you keep it tight , one a week don’t go out too far , that same 10,000 worth of stock can make you 500-600 a month . 100,000 same scenario can make you 5000-5000 a month - that’s how covered calls are effectively done - passive consistency income

wabbithunta23

Do 2 week out calls or longer. Dont trade the day before it expires ever again.. theta will eat you alive if that doesn’t go your way on day of expire as the day progresses and it doesn’t move the way you need it to, you’ll just get Fckd. My first week trading options I made 10 racks… then 2 months later I made 45k in a month and then I just kept making atleast 10k a month from July to end of December 2024. Mostly made money on WMT and PLTR. Hell of a ride. 929 dollars into 10k my first week trading options. Off of a few trades uniqure and QS.

What do people think about WMT? Only up from here?

wayfarer8888

Correction. PCE came in modest but trending up, rate cut of -0.25% is already baked in but the wheels are coming off everywhere. Subdued investing, hiring or consumption after a tariff front running induced bumper quarter doesn't bode well. First TGT, then WMT, even NVDA was meh, TSLA is more than overdue to get off stratospheric valuations. Someone posted that the 200 biggest insider trades recently were all sells. Put premiums are also on the rise. -5% in September and another -2 or -3% early October is my base case scenario.
