WMT

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.

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

Putting all my life savings into Walmart $WMT. Spot not options. Modest gains if no recession Will past Amazon if there is a recession Why? Amazon’s delivery method is not really sustainable during a recession plus all you fools form of entertainment during the poor days would be walking down line 8 to buy a 6 pack of ramen and keystone light Let’s go WallyWorld

WMT is running, big correction from dip last week. We hitting $105 by EOD 🙌

That's incredible, you're really the elite of the elites and I'll be going all in on WMT for their ability to attract such fine patronage.

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.

"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.

Due-Sea4841

Oh, can’t forget TJX , XLU & XLC. And so it goes.

EnolaGay520

Walmart is the number one retailer in the US. Had a relatively significant price drop after missing earnings by less than 8%... More or less traded sideways today which could indicate downturn is stabilizing. (Idfk) Even still, they have great Earnings (minus P/E which is still a little over) Profit margin is growing with data to back it. The CEO and fundamentals are solid. Starting to see the effect of tariffs raising prices of goods, but Walmart has been a holdout on raising prices something like only 3%. Don't quote me TGT in the shitter maybe that means Walmart wins some new customers bc of cheaper prices as tariffs increase prices everywhere else? (Probably a stretch but sound logic). Significant online marketplace and growing online presence. (AMZN losing customers to WMT) Better goods and better prices available online. Rumors of increased AI on the online marketplace. Some already being used. Like sparky AI assistant. Pickup & Delivery services etc expanding market. Subscriptions now too! Extra revenue. 50 billion projected.. (don't quote me) they make a shitload of money! Price target 110 seems reasonable... I am biased to Walmart because I like the stonk... I am regarded... Why are you still reading I clearly don't know how to do DD or know wtf I'm talking about... Degen Gambler recently unhinged and willing to risk it all to make bags! 😎 Wish me luck I'm manifesting these gains as we speak! I'm gonna have at least a 1 bagger at the end of the year if WMT recovers which is highly probably given the circumstances💰💰💰

WMT calls should have been the biggest lock ever. Took a sledgehammer to the balls as well.

squintamongdablind

I had a small position but sold it off before earnings (talk about timing). My thesis was that several of TTD’s customers (like WMT) are direct competitors of Amazon and therefore unlikely to share their data. But they could use the threat of jumping ship to bargain with TTD on pricing (exactly what WMT did). So, TTD now has to figure out how to defend its market share while also making efficiency improvements to increase revenue. Their proprietary AI solutions like Kokai seem to be working well but it’s unclear if they’re enough to move the needle on the stock price.

Busy_Print6699

You want to pick stocks that you are comfortable owning and sell the put at a price you are comfortable buying that stock at also looking at delta and premiums. There are several higher volatility names people use for CSP such as TSLA, PLTR, NVDA that are used for higher premiums and there are several more stable names like WMT, JNJ, HD, KO that are used for decent premiums with limited stock movement. Strategies for stock selection often involve looking at RSI and Bollinger Bands to see what stocks on your list are oversold or near the bottom of ranges to sell puts on with the expectation the stock will recover back to the mean and your puts will expire worthless. Of course pay attention to see what caused the pullback to begin with.

Leroy--Brown

I already am defensive, literally from an investing standpoint. It's not that I'm baking in future growth potential, it's that I'm baking in a future inflationary period and possibly stagflation. The subsequent stagnant growth may lead to a period of prolonged job losses, frustratingly high inflation, and reduced consumer spending. During which time Walmart will have a defensive stance as the shopping location of choice for the bottom half of Americans suffering from the future economic environment. I'm not saying the choice is between Amazon and Walmart, that's comparing apples to oranges. I'm saying WMT will outperform it's peers during a downturn, and it is a strong defensive play. Pay for what you want to pay for, but honestly value investing seems like a dead end to me. Look up Walmarts performance during the last couple recessions if you're curious.

Leroy--Brown

Oh look it's another value investor. Great. What other metrics are possible to use to determine fair value of Walmart? Perhaps their FCF being utilized to pay for dividends and operations. Perhaps their excellent leadership. Perhaps their utilization of low interest debt to leverage growth into online marketplace. Perhaps the fact that consumer spending remains strong at WMT during economic downturns. Perhaps the fact that while consumer spending has begun to show slowdowns across other segments of the economy, it has continued to remain strong at WMT. Or perhaps it's the fact that their business is in selling consumer staples, which is by definition, a defensive strategy. So yes, they're one of my defensive positions, yes.

reddit_is_fash_trash

>Explain WMT's issue. What issue? WMT has literally doubled during the same timespan that TGT has fallen 33%. ... but I'm sure it's a total coincidence that this timespan just so happens to perfectly line up with that time when TGT bent the knee to anti-LGBT bigots...
