WMT

noplanman_srslynone

If you're up for a longer haul in terms of time DE is probably a good one to look at. DRI as well. John Deer who ya know makes stuff with steel and aluminium and whose main clients are farmers? Ya don't think they are going to all time highs this year. DRI is a restaurant chain and I think the consumer is gonna turn bad on the old stocky market in terms of data soon. WMT will tell he tale next week.

sell at least half of the WMT as it is tariff direct impacting stock (of course you know it). Gradually invest into domestic stocks or SP500 index. You have portfolio concentration risk (used to be gain but no longer headwind after tariff). So invest in business without global supply chain risks. You can check [knkresearchai.com](http://knkresearchai.com) for business or stock ideas.

Dunno about tomorrow. Decided to get Jan 26 poots on DRI today at 195 and 175. I think if people start tightening their belts they won't be able to go through their wonderful all time high and if we start seeing foot traffic decline it sets off some dominos. Also wondering if buy WMT 100 puts was the play or not, they are kind of the bell weather for tariff's and people buying all the things with earnings on the 15th. Also really hoping RYTM dumps more because it's a garbage Pharma company:) Long MO which is doing well cause Zyn is delicious. Thinking about messing around with CRWV even though the company is garbage long term. May have one of those "yay IPO" spikes past 60 prior to their earnings. Declined before the pop to 52.50 or something which is where i wanted to buy but it's just getting pushed higher.

Humm... WMT... how do I feel about you and the nation of poors I live in that shops there. Do I bet on the poors while the riches steal more from them and everything get's more expensive? Do I bet on the riches taking more from them while they smile and blame O'Biden?... I think the guidance will be bad but still; in this market it may not matter.

mexylexy

Jesus be praised. My NVDA, WMT, TSLA, BAC swings about to print tomorrow. Fuck this week.

eddie991ao

AMZN and WMT fighting for the "rural" market.. Um, there are no people there? What about the "urban" market? oh yeah, i forgot for a sec there. But AMZN and WMT fighting for the rural market is craziness. What are people supposed to do there for work, just work for them? they can't have their own business? AMZN WMT, stay out of rural areas because the foreign people of the world need that market.

My put positions on WMT hang in the balance. Do the right thing. Raise rates

noplanman_srslynone

Nice; I have around 20k across SPY QQQ in puts. Have some others in there as well. Added DRI today Jan 26 puts at 200 and 185. DASH I was in on 200$ puts and a 175 put as well for Sept. My January 26's also include COST and WMT though so call me a nutter. I think the consumer is gonna be weak as hell

Objective_Ad3539

From working there myself, WMT is an absolute buy and hold. You people don’t realize the amount of smaller towns in the Midwest and south that are quite literally built around these things and rely upon them. Total rev something like 80B a year. Destroys target and Costco combined

eddie991ao

I think the market gonna crash but what do I know. Every big tech stock going to shit. Every big namer besides WMT DG types going to shit. NO ONE IS UPGRADING.. going to shit?

traderbusto

I have adopted the strategy of picking a strike at which I would be willing to part with my shares, sell 45-60 DTE covered calls at that strike, and use the premiums to buy more shares. I do it with WMT and F. Also reinvest all dividends. So far it has worked out well. If/when recession hits, I will reevaluate.

Affectionate-Day2743

so you think WMT should only be valued at half (or less than half) of where they currently are? I think something is to be said for ... how do i say it... how much better of a company Walmart is than, say, Target. Walmart is evolving (and has been for some time). Target feels stuck in 2018. Costco is probably Walmart's most comparable competitor and their PE is 56 (even worse than WMT).

Affectionate-Day2743

it's my single largest position and, like you, i don't plan on selling. i know WSB is probably not fond of WMT because they're not flashy but I feel like it's an extremely stable company who has proven to evolve their business with societal changes. I'm ok with not getting 5% swings in a single day. stability is fine with me

Affectionate-Day2743

what's your guys' opinion of WMT as a buy and hold? not looking to do options.

AncientAckman

Fred numbers claim that there's no grocery frontloading. Mostly durable goods. Dump WMT

narrowant341

Costco monthly sales numbers release on Wednesday, WMT earnings next week.  Last time WMT earnings took the market down. 

noplanman_srslynone

If WMT comes down with it's guidance COST will follow like a domino.. it's a beast but it's a retail store valued at 58x P/E... People gonna be sad when it comes down to earth.

coloradoinsuranceguy

Yeah: XLY, SMH, SBUX, NFLX, WMT, and calls on UDN (short USD). Probably should short TLT but I don’t have any more gambling money. Dates are about 2-3 months out on most of these. 10-15% OTM

Curious-Board3504

Picked up some WMT puts, seemed like cheap insurance in case of the apocalypse

chuckroastvalue

WMT earnings are next week, last earnings WMT dropped like 10% and triggered a lot of selling across the market because I guess it needed walmart to tell it tariffs are bad for business. WMT is almost back to where it was then and tariffs are actually worse than we thought then. This all screams puts to me, so calls it is

Safe-Ad-4585

Regarding the above trades. With both WMT and Cost up. All are doing good. If all end up in great shape by the ex date =2067$ Free money. But earnings are coming in May so a heads up Jerry

Illustrious95

Next month: Shelves are bare, WMT up 10% on speculation that shelves may not be bare next year.

Affectionate-Day2743

thank god WMT is my largest position

Basically every large cap except WMT:  My SPY 0DTE poots:

WMT almost at 100 up almost 20% this month despite it being 75% of shit from China 

dralva

He may have forgotten the talk he had with the CEOs of WMT, HD and TGT

PleasureD_the_Beast

Revelstoketruckin gave great advice. If you looking to Grow Your Account look at Leaps of companies still below their year-to-date or 6 month highs. And just buy and gradually sale. I’ve been cleaning up with WMT options. A Consistent 200+% return. TSM, TTD and BABA options are about to get frisky, I think

etown00

I would like to buy shares of WMT at 75, eh?

Patricknc18

Option 1 for the foreseeable future. I would sell any until it exceeded 10-15% of your retirement portfolio. Just based on WMT’s track record.

theoptionpremium

As an options trader, I try not to focus too much on predicting where Walmart is headed. I do have a poor man's covered call position on WMT, but more often I trade around it with credit spreads when the setup makes sense. For me, it's less about calling direction and more about reading the environment — things like IV rank, IV percentile, RSI, and a few other metrics. Based on those, I’ll decide whether a credit or debit spread fits better. I try to keep things simple and probability-based. The goal is consistency, not complexity. I hope this helps.

SafecrackinSammmy

WMT is on a tear lately close to $100 per share. ESOPS are normally encumbered for two years or so to get the 15 percent discount. I think its a long term hold so I would leave it ride but you can always sell some/ all after it meets the maturity date.

Ronin3993

Eh maybe as a long lotto play. They are going to be massively affected by tarriffs and have been beaten down enough that they won't be able to pivot from it like WMT. Plus they're political decisions have alienated some of the suburban white woman that make up 80% of their shoppers. Longterm they'll probably weather the storm, short term I imagine their pain will get worse. But what do I know I lose money hand over fist here

Weikoko

WMT doesn’t even have AWS to back their valuation. Shit is fking overpriced.

ClandestineGK

You've got some big retailers reporting at the end of this month WMT, TGT, HD, LOW, BBY etc. I can't possibly see how we don't see weak guidance or someone pulls it completely with all the uncertainty.

Donut-Strong

Yes I bought another $200k of WMT when it dropped

Colto0711

CanYouPleaseChill

Yup. The Shiller P/E for the S&P 500 is 35. Can add COST, WMT, SBUX, and TSLA to your list of overvalued stocks.

hepukesyoudie

WMT knows something we don’t. For your info I’m a bottom.

hepukesyoudie

Going full Bull. Buying soy leaps whenever I can. WMT telling suppliers to start shipping. Spy 650 60 days.

CartoonLamp

WMT apparently not caring about tariffs but forgot about the court investigation

TheInkDon1

I don't try to predict anything, but rather find things that are *currently* doing well. Some of the tickers I've moved into this week: WMT, KR, M, HSBC COST I can't afford, but would SOXL & UNG for shorter-term plays

Safe-Ad-4585

Hello, new here but been trading options for 27 years. Have done all types but now just do naked puts, cash secured. I've tried and used all the Greeks etc. WTF? I now do simple trades that plain old make money pretty stress free. Previously I have written a book telling of my history called 'Selling put options my way' on AMZN, I show how i made roughly 2 million and lost lots of it.. But i wrote it in 2005 so many changes since then. The biggest is weeklies instead of only monthly's. This is 2025 May 2. Here are two trades i have done for next week. (did today) Sold COST may 9th with Costco trading at $1010 I sold the put for the 925 strike. Got .15 cents. with 85 points of cushion. Free money Another today is using WMT 30 of the next week 95's got .23 with WMT moving right along and 3.5 points of cushion Also today using WMT sold next weeks 94 strike and received .35, again free money. So there are my trades so for using May 9 ex date Pick a good stock, Give some cushion and forget all the candle stick' and other gooblegook. Just use your brain! Good luck all Jerry

HatesAvgRedditors

I will, have already made a killing. Bought like 15k of nvidia at $95 I’ve already made 3k off it lol. Been buying QQQ and WMT and green on those too. Be fearful when other people are being greedy, be greedy only when other people are being fearful

TheInkDon1

Here's my strategy for the PMCC. I'll use META since you're in that. It's Friday 5/2 after the close. **ALWAYS buy at 80-delta or better.** **And a year or so out.** Right now that would be the June 2026 480C at 173.45. I like to figure out how much leverage that gives you to the stock, so you can compare owning a long Call to owning shares: (Spot price / Call price) x Delta (597.02 / 173.45) x 0.80 = 2.75x leverage Not a lot for META, because the IV is pretty high. (That same exercise for WMT gives 3.5x, GLD gives 6.1x.) But it's 2.75x 'better' than owning the stock. (But remember that leverage cuts both ways, so getting the direction right is quite important.) **Sell short Calls at 30-delta.** **30-45 days out.** That's the TastyTrade way. So right now that might be the 32DTE (from Monday) 6Jun635C at 30-delta for 10.50 Midpoint. What's the ROC on that? Premium / Collateral --> 10.50 / 173.45 = 6.0% In 32 days, about a month, so x12 for >70% apy. That's if you sell Calls like that each month. **Buy them back when they're worth half.** So buy this one back when it's worth 5.25 or less. If the stock goes up faster than theta decays, that's when short Calls get closer to the money. **Try not to let them go ITM.** They're easier to roll when they're OTM. So monitor their Delta. As Delta goes up above 30, look for an opportunity to roll up and out. Back to 30-delta ideally, but anything that gets the strike price up is good. I roll out a week and up a strike and see if that gives a credit. If it doesn't, sell another week of time until it gives a credit. That's what you're doing here: selling time to buy strike improvement. If the week-out/strike-up gives a credit, see if you can get another strike out of it. If you can't, take that trade. Keep track of that credit, because it will play into how well you're doing on the overall position. As you go along, subtract the strike of the long Call from the strike of the short. That's what your spread is physically worth (plus the time value in the long Call). If that value is more than you paid for the long Call, then you know you're doing okay. (cont.)

How is WMT going to almost 100.

narrowant341

Consumer defensive stocks have been rallying nonstop this month.  WMT and COST on a tear today. 

natalie_merchant_fan

The biggest companies are the ones Trump has in his sights. That's why WMT and TGT resumed shipments from China because they don't want the political blowback of empty shelves.

Thadlust

WMT’s DIO is 42 days. Assuming they frontloaded imports in advance of this during Q1 and buffed their inventory by 50%, this would mean that there’s two months of calm post LD. Consumers won’t start to be seriously hurt until the latter half of May.

narrowant341

🥭 meets with WMT, TGT and HD. They tell him price will rise, ports will be empty and there will be empty shelves. 🥭folds in the meeting, the retailers resume Gyna shipment. 1 week later, China commerce ministry confirms US reached out to strike a deal. 

True-Pressure-8913

Negative GDP, bad ADP jobs, high jobless claims, and bad construction data. Bad consumer discretionary earnings like CMG, MCD, SBUX, PEP, and WMT. Tariffs still up, valuations elevated, and a POTUS acting like a dictator. Only goes up if we're climbing the wall of worry

coloradoinsuranceguy

Sure, but how are they superior to AMZN when cloud is the most important part of AMZN’s business. Anyway, I’m pretty much done trying to short WMT. Fact is, it’s in a different index so it’s trading differently. Logic and reasoning mean nothing

coloradoinsuranceguy

They really won’t lol. They’ll buy necessities, but this is gonna hit WMT hard. It already is from what I see

Affectionate-Day2743

WMT already got their beating when they released weak guidance after Q1 (a month or 2 ago). WMT is fucked but not as bad as AMZN.

Same-Brilliant2014

WMT is fucked too😬

Saucy_N1nja

If you buy quality companies, you shouldn’t worry about macros too much. Plenty of big name companies are up or flat YTD including MSFT, BKNG, SPGI, NFLX, V, WMT. Even from March highs, these companies are less than 10% down. So quality companies are not reflecting the negative sentiment that most investors hold. Buy and hold quality companies.

CurveAhead69

WMT is recession ‘proof’ and are very actively working to take bigger cut from online shopping.

coloradoinsuranceguy

WMT trading at a higher multiple than AMZN and COST trading at almost 2x AMZN multiple. Clown market.

Glum-Dragonfruit8888

Selling ITM Call Option as Synthetic Put: I had a weird idea. I generally sandwich options around new stock purchases, buying ATM puts and slightly OTM (20 Delta) Covered Calls. But whenever the call gets to 75% profit, I cut it short and take the profit. I thought to myself, if I want to hold this stock long-term, and I know there is a resistance level that will result in a pull-back, why not sell and ITM covered call, that have intrinsic and extrinsic value and capitalize on the decline while riding through the storm. Think WMT. I owned WMT since $73. When WMT broke 100 for the first time, I imagined, that there would be a pull back--albeit I did not anticipate the market effect from Trump. I had sold my normal OTM Covered Call, and that buffered some loss, but there was still ample loss going back down. Now I think whenever it started faltering around that 105 line, to have sold a 99 or 100 covered call, so when it did pull back, I would buffer the wave more. Any thoughts?

hv876

Wait, wait, wait. WMT earnings are in 2 weeks. Time to get cheeks clapped again. 

Jonscott31

Possible, not saying anything bad for Snap but potentially slower performer. WMT has always been a go to for a recession proof stock. Hell McDonald’s is stout too just look at there track records. Also are you planning on selling any calls or puts? I own WMT shares and sell calls when premiums get good

portol

I don't know if I should sell some of my WMT stocks or not? I only started trading last year and I only have 10 shares of it. But it is up 13% right now so I should probably sell half to lock in some of the gain? but my investment plan has always been a long term one as in I plan to hold for at least 5 more years so it seems to me I should just keep buying steadily?

TheInkDon1

No, I don't think so, but I can see how it looks that way. u/flybyskyhi made the point that he wasn't confident that his macroeconomic guesses would translate into positive equity prices. I'm a trend-follower, so I made the (unstated) leap based on his comment that all you need to know is manifested in the equity price. I trade GLD, so I know it's going up. I trade Walmart, so in Yahoo Finance I looked at the "Compare to WMT" section on the WMT page and found Costco was doing well. I trade Kroger, and found ACI, SFM, & GO the same way. I trade HSBC, and found BofA, BCS, & RY the same way. But I didn't start with a thesis that retailers or grocers or banks "should" do well; I'd found a trending stock on 3 separate occasions, and then in hindsight saw that maybe those sectors are doing well. But notice that I'm not saying to buy ALL the grocers, or ALL the banks, but if one in a category is doing well, maybe look at the others also. I have a bunch of watchlists set up in Barchart, and I'd found each of my original picks by sorting them and then scrolling through charts until I found one that looked good. No macroeconomic forecasts required. Cheers!

DuckTalesOohOoh

If tariffs continue, and I think they will, then I have confidence in AMZN and WMT figuring out. Not so much for W.

Affectionate-Day2743

John-AtlasGames

I had some puts on WMT which turned out to be a really dumb or at least poorly timed move.

Flimsy_Sort9128

they will “withstand” but WMT is already trading at a high multiple so I only see a small dip. I don’t really understand how it would grow in a time like this. Used to be a bull but liquidated my entire WMT position yesterday. Will probably re enter but via selling CSPs.

Icommandyou

Costco and Walmart can withstand tariffs for some time but small businesses will be kaput. We will only have giant corporations left by the end of the year so calls on WMT and COST and puts on ACI

could be a 33/33/33 situation where each party (producer, WMT, consumer) absorbs 1/3 of the cost. Saw some talking heads on the bloomby saying this was a thing

zhumail134

I’m suspecting WMT made deal with orange man that they can get special TARIFF (way lower than 146%, maybe 10% or tariff free) for importing goods from China , it is just not allowed to disclose to the public

pumpkin_spice_enema

This morning I read something about WMT placing big orders from China regardless of tariffs. Might be positioning to be the only place in town with anything in stock down the road.

atdharris

No chance they do. WMT's profit margin was less than 3% last year. They aren't going to eat the 145% tariff.
