WMT pump might actually be over now.

WMT outperforming tech is the sign that 50 million additional people will be on government assistance in the not too distant future.

Some SaaS companies will be disrupted Market: time to dump the entire software sector and buy WMT and COST barely growing 10%

WMT will soon trade at twice the forward PE of NVDA lmao

WMT earnings anyone? Calls perhaps?

Rotation into WMT

The_Alan_Greenspan

Always adding WMT. One of my favorite consistent growers. $DUK also, although somewhat less.

Spins13

The multiples are unlikely to expand much more. In theory though, 11% earnings growth to infinity could justify any PE level, because over time that 1% over 10% will compound and compress the PE. In practise though, nothing lasts infinitely and it would be way too risky to bet on it. Of the two COST is also the safer bet because they have more pricing power on their subscription than WMT on the sale of goods

CattleOk7674

Sold them to the point that they have similar valuation than WMT ? Yeah sure, institutions just rotated but it feels way too much. Btw you saying that while shilling BTC a few comments down is quite funny LMAO

FIG calls because I like figs and WMT calls because it has a W in the ticker. Dubs in the chat

greenpride32

I'd agree both WMT and COST valuation is too high to justify buying them as individual stocks, but I'd disagree it's unsustainable. There has always been inbalances in PE ratios and as you said WMT is often viewed as somewhat of a safe haven. But for individual stocks, I'm taking MSFT 17% top line growth (and almost 1/2 the PE) over WMT 7% without hesitation. Also 5 years is really cherry picking dates. Slide back more and WMT isn't pacing MAG7.

CriticalBlackberry90

Thursday morning WMT reports earnings so I am thinking rotation back into tech for a day if those earnings are shit

favsep

Yea, if financing conditions are tight and there are no meaningful wage increases, consumers do stop shopping groceries and home improvements *or* they just switch to cheaper options in, you know, WMT COST and other retailers that provide cheap wholesale? I don't understand why you are even directly comparing datacenter capex and consumer spending, are you going to compare the PE ratio of Costco and Microsoft?

Scary-Oven8260

They will eventually collapse like TGT. Like TGT can drop 70% because LGBT people don’t go there any more. Then don’t get surprised for whatever stupid reason wallstreat give you for the collapse of WMT and COST

sandcpl

WMT….people always going to go to Walmart.

g3tr1ghttt

Right, play a longer game by buying boring ass companies like WMT COST sitting at 45-50 forward PE while MSFT sits at 23. The only reason making sense to me is buy-side wants tech titans for cheaper while sell-side doesn’t want to pay for calls written as they can’t make money when the stock always goes up, there’s no volatility.

g3tr1ghttt

PE is def overstretched on NVDA compared to other top tech stocks excluding TSLA. But still lower than WMT COST. Boring retail stocks command 46-50 froward PE while MSFT sits at 23, man in what Universe does this make any sense. It seems to me that it’s not the “market is taking approach” but rather coordinated effort to trap retail investors into one thing, then move on to another and trap them there, and repeat the cycle over and over. Nothing else can explain the market movements.

g3tr1ghttt

Rise to match what exactly? Defensive sectors where the news tell us institutions repositioned their money? Hyperscalers’ profits must tank at least by 50% to match WMT COST etc. Not even mentioning other financial metrics on most of which these “defensive” companies look extremely overstretched in comparison. WMT might eventually become another Blockbuster once boomers phase out and everyone folds into AMZN contactless shopping experience. Nobody seems to care?

MakingMoneyIsMe

Also consider WMT practically has a Costco included in their structure via Sam's Club

US tax refunds coming soon with Big Beautiful Bill, calls on CMG? WMT? SBUX?

WMT

Specialist_Exam_8433

Thoughts on $CAT puts? Thinking that WMT/DE earnings may trigger a selloff in the Dow and rotation into tech. I'm going to wait until after earnings to make a move though, hoping that maybe they have a small pump or go flat that sells off when IV is lowered.

ahopye

Same. The money hasn't left the market, SPY is still sky high. It's just temporarily rotated into more defensive plays. I'd expect it to hold fairly steady this week at worst. AMZN, GOOG and MSFT look like bargains right now. WMT earnings could be a "sell the news" event that sparks the re-rotation. Throw in NVIDIA earnings as another potential catalyst. And then (for Amazon in particular) a positive supreme court decision on Friday would really light the touch paper. Could be a gradual climb or it could be hard and fast depending on these potential catalysts. Regardless, it's going up and I'm loading up on Wednesday.

Gristle__McThornbody

WMT is crazy. I closed LEAPS at 117 wtf is this run.

IslandExact429

There’s always a bull market somewhere But I refuse to believe that the bull market has transferred to WMT or Kroger

ahopye

I am telling you now, MSFT/GOOG/AMZN to the moon this week. We've just erased 2.5m workers, yet GDP grew by 2.6%? And how have we done that? AI. Much weaker job numbers than expected? JPOW's rate cut money printer is coming out to secure the soft landing legacy. A measurable productivity spike enabled by AI makes a clearer path to monetization for MAG 7, and starts to justify the AI capex for the build out. Meanwhile MAG 7 are slashing headcount while still rocketing growth in areas like Amazon's AWS. Tech has bled but SPY is 2% below ATH. We've not lost the money, it's rotated into defensive stocks including Costco, Walmart, etc. Lower jobs numbers will likely open some sort of income gap, hurting consumer staples, sparking a sector re-rotation. WMT earnings (and NVIDIA), and possibility of supreme court tarrifs decision on Friday, we are going to the fucking moon.

CriticalBlackberry90

Nah Tuesday is red, Wednesday don't know, Thursday tech pumps since WMT earnings will drag the Dow down, and then Friday red when GDP data comes in

RunsaberSR

I was trading a shit ticker for a few days a few years ago. On one day I remember being up 900% +$2000 on it. I had taken pretty decent profits along the way and these were my runners. I was at $WMT to 140, and I'm the span of checking out, my position turned hyper red. Down 40%. Satan's middle finger of a candle and a halt. The lesson here, is to not trade shit tickers and just give your portfolio's soul to WMT.

ItalianStallion9069

You think WMT is overvalued? Damn, one of my best stocks haha

gopoohgo

Lol wut.   The reason why COST has a higher PE than WMT is a combo of 24% growth in online sales, combined with a wealthy demographic that shops there.   TGT, grocers, Kohls etc all have PEs half that because they haven't pulled off what those two players have.

gopoohgo

WNT has skyrocketed because of their online sales and ad revenue.   WMT Connect brought in $4.4 billion on 53% increase Q3.   Their e-commerce is now almost 20% of sales, growing at 27% yoy.  

DMT1703

Donald Trump wants to make industrial rise again. (CAT) People are poor as shit. ( WMT) Low risk investment. (GS)

GS WMT and CAT are on steroids the last 3 years or something.

Th3_Curious_one

Good News and momentum. I noticed that for the past couple of weeks VZ, WMT, & O were heavily in the news with big bullish activity. So I decided to buy calls so that I could catch & join the movement.

EveryoneCanWin

I bought WMT a while ago at $47. I bought COST more recently around $920. I don’t go to Walmart often. But we go to Costco often and business seems always good there. I think COST is expensive. But it should be good in the long run.

sailortyx56

WMT adding sushi bar to their Florida locations. calls on WMT.

Charming_Raccoon4361

WMT will grow revenue by 2% and will go up by 20% after earning

kakadakuhiyyyyya

because some companies are good long term investments? i’m up over 100% with WMT and COST and will probably never sell them. I do hold a large amount of VTI, IDVO and VGT as well.

EveryoneCanWin

I have XOM, CVX, ORCL, MSFT, NET, VZ, WMT, COST and a lot of silver and gold.

CriticalBlackberry90

That's what I'm thinking. WMT drags the Dow down on Thursday and tech pumps, and then we reverse the move when GDP comes in on Friday.

Sea-Dragonfruit2250

Just picked up some WMT today. I think they have a lot of upside since they are really just now starting to compete with Amazon in the e-commerce space. Plus, since they are more consumer staple than tech, they seem to go up with tech, up with recession fears, and up with “AI is going to take our jobs” fears lol. The 1,2,5, & 10 year charts all look pretty solid with a lot smaller dips than AMZN and MSFT. Now watch it announce $220 billion in capex in next week’s earnings and crash like Amazon… 🤦‍♂️

LumpyShock9656

Lol nice one See above comment: It's not even 493, it's retardedly overvalued COST, WMT, DE, GE, CAT... Industrials. The rest (financials, consumer discretionary, software) are all bags too. My plan is to continue bagholding

LumpyShock9656

Bag 7 lol. It's not even 493, it's retardedly overvalued COST, WMT, DE, GE, CAT... Industrials. The rest (financials, consumer discretionary, software) are all bags too. My plan is to continue bagholding

Samjabr

WMT forward PE 2x NVDA's - lol

Happy_Discussion_536

When WMT was trading at 47 PE in 2021 they said the exact same thing. And haters still don't get it. When Warsh ramps up the printer WMT will crush everyone.

A55BAG

Shorting WMT no way this parabola climb can continue.

CriticalBlackberry90

Heads up this market is being propped up by the Dow where you have stocks like WMT and COST trading at the same premium as NVDA. Next week WMT is going to tank on earnings and once that happens we'll see a hard hit to SPY. I think next week we dip into the 670s.

WendyDumpsterFire

PANW calls DE puts WMT calls LVY puts FIG calls Inverse me regards

Predicting another good bump for WMT

Neither_Trick_6793

$WMT is still greatly undervalued. If you are scared of a strong reversal the historical drawdown is 15%. Just set a trailing stop of 20% and reset at each ATH. Look at TSLA with a PE of 400. That says all you need to know about the stock market. If you think ratios mean anything anymore you are out of touch.

KimJongUnsTrousers

Saw that comparison post and it’s real. WMT, a company with no growth, has a higher p/e than NVDA. And its forward p/e is double NVDA. Clown market.

prana_fish

I love how $NVDA bulls still like to REEEEEE about the company valuation and comparing forward PE to something retarded like $WMT. It's known. For like 8 months now while it's been dead flat. Market doesn't give a fuck. Pump n' dump this bitch to rotate siphoned money elsewhere. Opportunity cost is a thing.

Buying one WMT puts for my 10 WMT calls. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be

Uisce-beatha

I added 1/15/2027 WMT $120 and $140 calls to a watchlist on December 6th and they were $11.93 and $5.03. Now $14.33 for the $140 and $25.00 for the $120. I only bought more share instead of bothering with the options

MCD, WMT, COST, CVX and so on for now at least...

TotalArgument5072

Walmart (WMT) is currently exhibiting a strong bullish trend, characterized by a sustained advance over the past six months, culminating in a recent breakout to new 52-week highs. This price action suggests strong institutional buying and positive momentum. The stock has been consistently trading above its moving averages, indicating a healthy uptrend. The recent surge, as per ChartScanner.AI analysis, indicates that buying pressure is dominating, pushing the price towards higher resistance levels. Traders should expect continued upward movement, potentially after a short consolidation or minor pullback, as the market digests the recent gains.

vgains

Brother. You need to start selling medium dated covered calls, at prices slightly above the money. Idk how much you have, but you said a lot, and you're knowledgeable about economics, so I'm assuming at least 200, as high as 2,000 shares. Pick a strike price and a date and a number of contracts you're comfortable with, but the March 20 $140 is selling for $3.30. If the contract expires worthless, repeat this process every month until a portion of your shares get called away. When your shares get called away from you and you feel like you want them back, sell a $140, or ideally lower like a $130 cash secured put and re-enter the trade that way. The March 20 $125 put, which is $8 out of the money, is going for $2.54 Use the proceeds from the calls to find other high yielding stocks you like and accumulate positions in those. Verizon is paying something like 5.8% right now. Do this with about 20-60% of your WMT shares depending on how certain you are that Walmart will either keep going up versus that a price decline (potentially substantial given the explosive upward move, AI bubble, etc) is coming. Good luck and congrats!!!

Economy-Prune-8600

I also got into WMT and I’m up 60%. I bought because I read a story about WMT cutting ties with JD.com. JD is like the Amazon.com of China. The reason that WMT cut ties with JD was because they no longer needed JD for distribution and logistics in China. WMT is self sufficient there and is growing in popularity… I’m holding… mostly because I don’t like paying tax and because I see it growing influence overseas

not_holybutter

If u think there is better opportunity out there that will give u higher future returns than WMT (which i think there are plenty) then IMO you should definitely switch. Many ppl are taking about letting your winners run but ultimately it's how u can optimise your portfolio for the highest returns with acceptable risk. A high valuation not only reduces the likelihood of future returns but also increases the downside risks

underground_14_91

Check out Costco’s P/E. There’s still room to run, don’t worry about P/E when you’re holding one of the most resilient companies on the planet. That’s why they’re being priced so highly now, because the market is rotating to safety stocks and WMT keeps printing money in perpetuity. I own a small cap company right now that currently has a 115 P/E and I’m not worried in the slightest about it, and I’d imagine I’d sleep even better if that holding was entirely WMT instead. My point being, P/E is important but you shouldn’t be making decisions off P/E unless the FWD P/E is just so asinine that you can’t make it make sense. Take every company’s P/E with a grain of salt. They’re all over the place and rules for one industry or one stock DO NOT apply to another. So don’t worry about it. Sell it or don’t, I don’t know, I sure as hell wouldn’t. It would be one of my only winners right now.

beerandgardening

WMT is my buy and hold for life. An impossible to climb moat, a sensible management and a solid dividend. I plan to buy at every 10% correction. If it’s not your forever investment then I’d probably sell half and invest it elsewhere. Be warned that WMT is a defensive stock so if the rest of the market goes down, WMT will be snapped at a higher level than the rest of the market.

CanYouPleaseChill

At least WMT will have positive free cash flow this year.

GoodCents4u

I sell a little to go on vacation and congratulate myself on my disciplined investing. Hold most and diversify into another well managed company with vision for a richer bigger future. WMT is now a tech company, a leader in ESG with a 25 year plan underway. It’s thrifty. What’s not to like as the K economy brings more people through Walmarts gates every day as household buying power shrinks?

YoungMonty619

This. WMT is a safe-heaven and it will always find strength in uncertainty.

Shoddy_Vegetable4268

My WMT stock refreshes in April if we stay at this level until then my comp is about to get fucked

sailortyx56

The way it is going WMT will pass AMZN even in market cap by EOY. Lol.

Thin_Cat8817

i know the wisdom says not to sell your winners, but i honestly think WMT is in serious overbought territory. i would say it depends on your timeline for needing the money. 45 P/E for a single digit growth company with tight margins is not normal tbh. They are only up lately because of the sector rotation out of tech, and therefore will fall back as soon as funds start rotating back into tech. Good luck

GreedyTexas

abhitchc

Watching my $127 WMT calls print.

HVVHdotAGENCY

I’m in the same position as you. Bought a big position in WMT several years ago. Up a bit more than 2x. The only difference is I never wasted a second considering selling. The market will do what it does: this is an excellent investment and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. I guess if you want to get something higher beta, then sell some of the position and reallocate? But for me, that’s money I’m confident will continue to appreciate with a decent dividend, and I have plenty of money in high beta stuff, so I’m content just holding it. Additionally, WMT has a lot of juice left in the tank. What they’re doing with POS, financing, and the AI driven ecom UX will all drive net new revenue. They’re very well managed, and well positioned for continued growth.

ExplanationNormal339

WMT's been riding that consumer staples strength, but you're right about it looking stretched here around $95. I'd be careful timing puts into earnings though - retail has been unpredictable with guidance lately, and IV crush will eat your premium if it just trades sideways. Maybe wait for a technical breakdown below $92 support before pulling the trigger.

shadowromantic

WMT and MCD are great poor people stocks.

prana_fish

The correct move was to full port $WMT at the beginning of the year instead of diversifying amongst the Bag7.

suitupyo

WMT is now listed on the NASDAQ. Then comment has invested massively in into its app and Walmart.com. Items basically a tech company with a huge retail footprint and logistics chain.

LumpyShock9656

Yeah alright you sound smart now look at all the tech stocks in a bear market. If all the "smart money" wasn't rotating in 50 PE Costco. 48 PE WMT and KO, and GE, this shit would be much lower

IslandExact429

Nothing matters until MU, SNDK, WMT, XOM, Korea, & Japan fall 5% Everything is kangaroo till then.

UndercoverOptions

I don’t typically anticipate drops and play long puts from that. I look for short put opportunities with companies trading below their FMV and a good technical support. I did well with WMT in 2025 while it was in the 80s and 90s. Now I think it’s too expensive for my approach.

cherry_blossom_7471

WMT up 4% today and you retards will continue to ignore it

MakingMoneyIsMe

I've held WMT for over a decade. It's currently 10% of my individual companies. Let the winners win is what I say.

Hopeful-Climate-3848

WMT trading a higher multiple than NVDA makes no sense at all.

UndercoverOptions

WMT’s PE of 46 seems outrageous to me. It’s also well above its 3-year median and twice as high as its peers. These numbers just don’t make sense to me for what it does. Right now my FMV is $100-$120. Below $100 becomes interesting again.

GrassOrAss954

I’m just gonna say it chat, we’re all fuckin’ sleeping on WMT. Yeah, boomer stock, yada yada…..look at it go.

Blade3colorado

Fair question and I again asked AI (Gemini) the same question, i.e., I asked, "Is this statement true or false, "Amazon has been outperformed over the last 5 years by McDonald's, Coke and JNJ. MSFT has been outperformed by Phillip Morris, Walmart, Waste Management and Exxon over the last half decade." This is what it said: Based on data through **early 2026**, the statement is **False**. While it is true that slow-growth, defensive stocks like McDonald's (MCD) or Coca-Cola (KO) sometimes outperform tech stocks over very short timeframes (like the 2022 market downturn), the statement is false over a 5-year **total return** horizon (which includes reinvested dividends). Here is the data-driven breakdown: # 1. Amazon (AMZN) vs. MCD, KO, JNJ Amazon has significantly outperformed these consumer staples over the last five years. * **Amazon (AMZN):** Has benefited from massive growth in Amazon Web Services (AWS) and e-commerce dominance, resulting in a **higher total return** despite a sharp drop in 2022. * **Staples:** While McDonald's, Coke, and Johnson & Johnson are stable income generators, they have grown at a much slower rate. # 2. Microsoft (MSFT) vs. PM, WMT, WM, XOM Microsoft has dramatically outperformed this group over the last five years. * **Microsoft (MSFT):** Driven by cloud computing (Azure) and the integration of AI, Microsoft has been one of the market's best performers. * **The Comparison:** * **Walmart (WMT):** While performing exceptionally well for a retailer, it has not matched Microsoft's returns. * **Exxon Mobil (XOM):** Despite a massive surge in energy prices, Exxon's 5-year total return is still lower than Microsoft's. * **Waste Management (WM) & Philip Morris (PM):** These are stable, slower-growth stocks that have not kept pace with the tech sector.

CurveAhead69

Lower than COST. It’s online shopping faster than AMZN (really chewing that pie away. Consumer condition driving more sales. Imho, the PE is ok because WMT isn’t anymore just physical cheap stores.

EuphoricWizard

Tempted yo just full port yolo WMT or some random utility stock but they’ll probably rotate out the second I do
