I would work on doing due diligence. You should pick one stock and treat it as your foundation. A solid company. Gamestop, BigBear, and AMC theatre are NOT solid companies. KO is a solid company. PG is a solid company. They are boring, but solid. MSFT, GOOG, GOOGL, AMZN, WMT are solid companies, growth stocks. Not as boring as KO and PG. You are working on the going for a grand slam on each and every trade.

I've moved a portion of my investments to cash, or cash equivalents. My gut feeling is that the AI bandwagon is going to crash badly, and take the rest of the market with it. I'm investing in Healthcare stocks, like ABBV, COR, and also FPHAX since people don't stop getting sick. Also, consumer staples like WMT, CPB, COST (even though their P/E concerns me), and VDC.

Why is WMT more expensive than AMZN, AAPL, GOOG, META and MSFT? Is the market regarded?

I do all my shopping at COST and WMT. There isn't really any overlap in their products except the soda. I'm not saying either one is worth 50 P/E and both deserve to go down to more traditional valuations. But I also don't think either one is in trouble. The line at COST is always huge and most of my 'shopping' trips are over $300 (and I see plenty of people next to me checking out everyday over $1500 in their cart which I do rarely). The line at WMT is not bad and the cheap products are cheap (soda/velveeta) - they had two interesting news articles recently 1) in some locations they had to close self-checkout because theft exceeded what they saved getting rid of cashiers and 2) they are taking COST shoppers for some few products (me and my soda).

PE ratios are partly a reflection of interest rates. When rates are low, investors are willing to pay more for future earnings because the present value of those earnings is higher. Even mature, “boring” companies like WMT, KR, and SBUX can sport high PEs in a low-rate environment. PE ratios aren’t just about absolute earnings—they’re about expected earnings. If investors think a company will grow earnings faster than inflation or the broader market, the PE can stay elevated. Companies like Starbucks or Nvidia can command higher multiples because people expect growth (or brand/market power) even if current profits are modest. Some sectors naturally trade at higher multiples. Tech and consumer discretionary often do, while traditional retailers sometimes trade lower—but the pandemic, supply chain shifts, and investor preference for “safe growth” have changed normal ranges.

SpellAccomplished541

The traditional companies are overvalued by traditional metrics. I hold individually every stock you mentioned in your post (WMT, KR, SBUX, AAPL, TGT). The only reason TGT missed out on the runup is because they lost customers due to the DEI rollback & boycott followed by intesified social media outrage. As a shareholder, I'm not surprised they haven't recovered yet (since they pissed off their own customer base), but I'm gonna keep holding the bag because eventually they will benefit from rotation since there is almost no other place to put money.

ffo_kcuf_og

This argument is identical to hey Trump isnt so corrupt with all those shitcoins, look at what Biden did. I dont care. Corruption is corruption and whether you like or hate the guy stealing from you is a stupid way to judge a situation. They are ALL overvalued, but you know WMT isnt financing and factoring their suppliers sales.

WMT and GLD the 2 recession plays have been pumping gld a while. Pay attention regards 

dvdmovie1

"and if you listen to the headlines, you’d think this company is about five minutes away from bankruptcy. " In 2014, a handful of restaurants went public because people wanted the next Chipotle. I don't think any of those is above where they went public, some were taken private at below IPO price (including Zoe's Kitchen, which eventually became part of CAVA.) I remember in 2015 when SHAK went public and people were hyped up for it. 10 years later you could have done much better and with less stress by owning the SPY or even WMT. SHAK is up about 80% since IPO and has had three 60%+ drawdowns and a few 40%+ drawdowns. In 2021, PTLO went public and while it was more of a regional thing it was beloved enough that people thought the concept would travel well and spread to other areas. It went up some initially...and then has proceeded to lose 90% in pretty much a straight line. Needless to say, it didn't travel well. BROS has ultimately gained against a weakened SBUX, but how any people sat through the 70% drawdown from the 2021 high? Nobody's saying SG is going bankrupt, it's just the experience of owning a premium restaurant concept that does well when the economy is doing well and is something you want to not be anywhere near when it's not. SG's history as a public company: -90% drawdown off the 2021 IPO, +560% off the 2023 low, then now down 83% again. While not apples-to-apples, for all the hype over SHAK you've had 10 years of volatility and not much to show for it. What's keeping the next 10 years of this being "the best of times, the worst of times?" like it has been as public company - huge volatility and great if you can catch the bottoms but not something that's ultimately a good long-term holding? The K-shaped economy situation you mention is important and while *perhaps* temporary I wouldn't handwaive it away - how long does that go on, how much further does it spread? CMG is down 40% this year, CAVA down 62% from its bubble high earlier in the year. It's not just a SG issue. "There is a massive "Trade Up" happening where people are leaving generic fast food for "clean eating." Sweetgreen is perfectly positioned to capture the demographic that views lunch as a health investment, not just calories. " I think this is a smaller audience than your thesis needs it to be. "The biggest bear case right now is that Sweetgreen is just overpriced "slop" that consumers are abandoning. " I don't know that it's overpriced slop but there is a price point for anything where enough people are going to start to seek alternatives/trade down/etc. There is absolutely a price ceiling for salad bowls, burritos, whatever where you will start seeing people say no, or cut back. If you like restaurant automation, you may want to take a look at Circus SE in Germany (I'm not long but something you may find of interest.) I don't see SG as a zero and I don't really think I've seen a lot of people online who do - I just think the reality for this stock is that it's going to be something that does well when times are great and it's not something you are going to want to own when times are less than great unless it's down massively and you think you can pick the turn in the economy.

Internal_Field5970

Wife go upset I was lasting too long during bj and she told me to turn on some freaky stuff I like to get going on the hub but I thought it would be faster if I looked at my WMT shares and she got all upset and shit 

Uisce-beatha

If you're just buying and holding buy some WMT. Improving online purchasing, only using "AI" to further streamline inventory tracking and usage, increasing revenue from groceries where 75% of their product comes from the USA. Some people trash dividend stocks because "they don't increase because of the dividend". WMT is one of those exceptions. Just paid their quarterly dividend of $.235 per share and it's up 24% over the last year. WMT also likes to split when it's share price gets too high with the last one being a 3:1 split at $175. The craziest part about WMT stock is for the people that bought in and held early on. You had to buy in lots of 100 back then so a minimum buy in was $1650 at the IPO in 1970. That was the price of a new sedan at the time but holding those 100 shares until today would mean 614,400 shares now after splits with a total value of $71,639,040. The dividend payout from yesterday would be worth $144,725 with a maximum tax of 20% so a take home pay of $115,779 for this quarter. I hate WMT for what it did to my small town in the 90s and for how it treats their workers. I do however really like the stock.

CanYouPleaseChill

Consumer staples have almost never been this cheap as a sector (notwithstanding the overvaluation of COST and WMT). The tech sector has rarely had valuations as high as they are now. AAPL at a P/E of 37? C’mon. I’m in favour of buying the equal-weight S&P 500 (RSP) instead of VOO.

WMT is one of those dividend stocks that also goes up. Must have retail in non gambling account

manitou202

Counter point: $JNJ up 45.82% $LLY up 29.73% $WMT up 28.36% $GS up 58.45% $CAT up 73.89% Tech Stocks $NFLX up only 6.11% $META up only 8.92% $AMZN up only 4.57% It's hard to pick individual winners. Sometimes it is better to stick with sector ETFs. For example, $FBCV (blue chip value stocks) up 15% for the year. Not that far behind the SP500 which is heavily driven by the Mag7. Blue chips are likely to hold up better in a major economic downturn or an AI bubble pop. Diversify. Don't put too much into one sector, or one stock. For every winner you pick you are just as likely to pick a loser that offsets your gains.

Affectionate-Yard924

Loving how you put NVDA in the same pile as COST, WMT that are massively over valued

Chrishall86432

WMT is absolutely Consumer Defensive. So is Costco.

Leroy--Brown

Their core customer base is selling low price consumer staples. So yes, they are a classic defensive strategy. I'm not saying the PE is a good value now. But I think if an actual recession does come, WMT will perform even better.

Leroy--Brown

I've done really well with WMT in the past 2 years.

jrex035

What do you mean? It's totally normal and no big deal for *grocery store chains and retailers* like COST and WMT to have PEs of ~50 and 40 respectively

The difference is i can be 99.9% sure COST and WMT earnings will still be there in 10 years from now. Nvidia earnings can literally rug to 0 tomorrow if people suddenly realize AI is only good at making meme videos of dancing cats If you don't understand something as basic as cyclicality risk stick to index funds before you lose everything.

sirzoop

No, its undervalued and WMT and COST are extremely overvalued.

GlutenFreeBuns

WMT hates rate cuts

ColdTub10

When I started out, it was hard to understand all the terminology and numbers on Yahoo Finance. So I really just went to the big names, looked over their historical numbers, and went from there. Ultimately started off with AMZN, WMT, NVDA, and then have been going more towards the SP500 ETFs as I haven't had the time to do individual stock valuation and research.

ExternalAge5686

Agree. Apparently many here don't know that WMT gained 20% in 2008 debacle.

Crazy_Donkies

To be fair retailers have historically had PE ratios much lower than other industries due to cyclical sales, seasonality, and low margins.  Seeing COST and WMT at these levels isn’t normal.

Rays_Boom_Boom_Room1

Pull into a Walmart parking lot on any day, and you will see why I am a forever buyer of WMT stock. Always packed. Always. Decent prices, they deliver groceries, can order online like amazon. This stock will continue to rise

abhitchc

Not a hidden gem, but WMT has been a slow and steady gainer for the past 20 years. Its biggest competitors are Target and Amazon. Target looks like it will eventually be going bankrupt. Walmart appears to be eating Amazon‘s lunch when it comes to online retail. I have very high hopes for it long-term. It’s not sexy, but I think it’s a safe play. Does well when the economy is doing well, and seems to be a good ballast with the economy is doing poorly. Not financial advice.

Hungry-Kick1389

Really it depends on how much money you’re talking about and what that sum is in relation to the rest of your net worth/holdings. If this is everything you own, then sell all of them and put that into something like VOO or diversify into other stocks like AAPL, GOOGL, WMT. If this is just a sliver of your holdings, then keep it and see where the dice roll takes you. Also, if you happen to own 100 shares of any of these, then sell covered calls to generate some revenue for yourself on the positions, which I love to do if I’m in profit

ChefBoyRD-92

I was actually looking at WMT chart earlier. During the DOT-COM bubble it was right at $58 on June 30, two months later on August 31st it was below $16. The Ai pop will be brutal.

DoinIt4DaShorteez

There's a variation on selling early that's cost me a lot. Buy at a nice low price, thesis is simply that stock or sector is out of favor for any one of a number of reasons that happen all the time. Stock shows some sign of life, fails at prior highs and falls back to around where you bought it. You go, welp, I guess not. And sell it. Some time later (varies, could be short amount of time, or a year), finally catches a bid, has good results, breaks out, doubles your price. Recent examples: WMT, IBM, both bought in the, 120's failed in the 140s, now both over 300 split adjusted.

"As Wieser has pointed out, the company’s struggles have less to do with internal missteps and more to do with shifting external forces. The Trade Desk is still a formidable operator, but programmatic advertising has matured into a commoditized and forever competitive baseless. With $12 billion in gross ad spend already flowing through pipes, the real challenge is clear: where does the next $12 billion come from? If CEO Jeff Green has an answer, he hasn’t shared it yet. A fifteen-point turnaround plan doesn’t exactly exude confidence, and it collides with three fundamental challenges. First, the CTV market remains deeply fragmented, making it difficult for The Trade Desk to secure large swathes of premium inventory. Second, the future of third-party cookies — critical for tracking, targeting and optimizing programmatic campaigns — remains unresolved. **And then there’s Google, which is quietly rearranging the web with AI Overviews. If users get their answers directly from Google’s summaries rather than clicking through to actual pages, the digital real estate available for The Trade Desk to buy ads shrinks.**" (https://digiday.com/marketing/the-trade-desk-stumbles-and-the-ad-tech-world-cheers-maybe-too-soon/) A day or two ago: https://digiday.com/media-buying/the-trade-desk-loosens-its-grip-on-pricing-amid-buyer-pressure/ (The Trade Desk loosens its grip on pricing amid buyer pressure) _______________ There's a few different issues but imo a key one is that much of Trade Desk has been this sort of "we're for the rest of the internet" vs the "walled gardens" (Meta, Google, Amazon.) Feels like the walled gardens are increasingly competitive/winning and AI means less traffic for the rest of the internet. I don't think it's a 0 but it's just not the same story it was. Not something I'd bet on but the way things are, perhaps OpenAI takes a look at it to buy ad tech. Other than that, just feels like a continued concern over the impact of AI/traffic for the rest of the internet and a continued battle with mega cap techs, particularly Amazon. Trade Desk had an exclusive partnership with WMT for years, but WMT changed the exclusivity aspect of that not that long ago (https://advertisingweek.com/walmarts-trade-desk-split-why-it-matters-for-retail-media/)

Not worried. Just had this thesis develop in my mind since April about used car market and I’ve been checking on $CVNA to see what it did, I went opposite of what I cooked up in my head. $KMX on the other hand is playing out pretty much exactly as I thought, I guess, I posted this b/c I wanna try n check myself. And maybe understand why there is such a massive difference between the stock action of the two companies. I guess it’s like $WMT and $TGT, one has there sht together and one is out of touch.

Heyhayheigh

Well, trading and investing are two different things. Investing even the winners can be losses if you’re not automated. I’ve seen people do great just auto buying their one favorite company: Apple, MSFT, TSLA, WMT, whatever. But they buy auto and don’t sell unless they have something urgent to pay for. Plenty of people start thinking: it is likely due for a correction, better cash out and buy that boat… there is all sorts of stuff. The problems get much bigger as the money gets much bigger. The emotions get heavier. 15% of 20k is easy to stomach, the same percentage of 2 million might take years off your life in stress. Success is a rarified air. Have to get accustomed to it.
