Walmart Inc. (WMT) stock: arguments for and against

What supports and what weakens the investment case for WMT stock

Pro17 arguments
  • Shareholders' money at Walmart Inc. (WMT) earns 23.2% a year.For every unit of capital put in by shareholders, the company makes 23.2% of profit in a year. Companies in the Consumer Defensive sector produce 13.2%.
  • Passes 7 of the nine financial health checks.The Piotroski score counts nine simple things: whether the firm is profitable, whether it generates cash, whether debt is falling, whether margins are improving. Here 7 pass.
  • Walmart Inc. debt is 1.51 times annual earnings from operations.At that level, a weak year would put no pressure on results. Companies in the Consumer Defensive sector stand at 2.4.
  • Earnings per share grew 11.5% a year, five years running.The profit attached to each share rose 11.5% in each of the past five years, so the growth reached shareholders too. Companies in the Consumer Defensive sector grew 8.1% a year on average.
  • The bankruptcy model places the company in the safe zone.The Altman score, which predicts failures from the balance sheet, is 5.28. Below 2.60 the risk zone would begin.
  • The 50-day price average sits above the 200-day.The price sits 5.1% above its 200-day average. Many investors watch this pattern as a sign of an upward trend.
  • Invested money returns 16.9% a year while funding costs 7.8%.Every unit reinvested brings 16.9% a year against 7.8% in funding costs. A positive gap means expansion creates value rather than consuming it.
  • Short-selling pressure is minimal.Only 2.0% of the freely traded shares are borrowed as a bet on a fall, and buying them back would take 4.19 trading days.
  • Institutions bought on balance last quarter: 16 funds added, 8 cut back.16 funds added to their position and 8 cut back over the past three months. Together they hold 38.0% of the company.
  • Cash from operations comes in at 1.8 times the reported profit.Profit is an accounting figure, operating cash is what actually reaches the bank account. When the second is clearly larger, the profit is backed by money rather than by entries.
  • Revenue at Walmart Inc. rose in each of the last four quarters, by 5.9% on average.Every quarter came in above the same quarter a year earlier, so the growth is not a single good period. The comparison is year over year precisely so seasonality cannot flatter it.
  • Shareholder equity grew by 12.6% over one year.The part of the company that belongs to shareholders got bigger. It grows out of retained profit or revaluation, not out of borrowed money.
  • Through Crash-ul COVID-19 it lost 13.1%, less than 98% of comparable companies.How a share fell in a past crisis does not predict the next one, but it shows how it behaves when the whole market sells at once.
  • It scores 70 out of 100 in the stress tests, and in the harshest scenario, Șoc de dobânzi, it would lose 44.1%.The scenarios start from historical shocks and are applied to the company as it stands today. They are exercises rather than forecasts, but they rank the risk.
  • It passes 19 of 30 profile checks, that is 64%.The checks come from different investing styles, from value to growth and quality. Passing many of them means the share fits more than one kind of portfolio.
  • It trades $2.37B a day on average.With daily turnover that size, an ordinary order gets in and out without moving the price, and the spread stays narrow.
  • Walmart Inc. shares are held by 12 exchange traded funds.Being inside ETFs brings demand that has nothing to do with results: the funds buy because the index says so, not because they hold a view.
Against8 arguments
  • Walmart Inc. (WMT) shares trade at 37.5 times annual earnings, well above the sector.For every unit of annual profit, a buyer pays 37.5. Companies in the Consumer Defensive sector ask 17.2.
  • The dividend yields 1.0% a year, below the risk-free rate in US.The dividend yields 1.0% a year, less than government bonds in US, which pay 5.3% without the risk of a share.
  • Free cash is 1.6% of the share price, below the sector.After expenses and investment, what is left equals 1.6% of the share price. Companies in the Consumer Defensive sector generate 8.8%, so the same money invested buys less free cash here.
  • Out of every 100 units Walmart Inc. sells, only 3.0% is left as profit.Out of every 100 units sold, 3.0% is left as net profit. In food retail the thin margin is the model: the money comes from volume and from how fast stock turns over, not from what is kept per product. Companies in the Consumer Defensive sector retain 6.1%.
  • Revenue grew 5.0% a year over the past five years.Sales grew 5.0% a year over the past five years. In consumer staples growth follows population and inflation rather than the conquest of new markets - that steadiness is exactly why the sector is sought out. Companies in the Consumer Defensive sector grew 5.6% a year.
  • 7 people in management sold $35.33M of shares over the past year.No purchases in the same period. Sales can have personal reasons (taxes, a loan, diversification), but the direction is unanimous.
  • The models find no durable competitive advantage.Without an advantage that lasts, earnings depend on how well the company is run each year rather than on its position in the market.
  • C Douglas Mcmillon, an insider, sold $2.57M worth of shares.This is the largest insider trade reported in the period covered. Sales often have personal reasons, from tax to diversification, so they are read alongside the rest rather than on their own.

Solid results

How profitable is it?

68 · solid

Capital invested in Walmart Inc. produces 16.89% a year, and shareholders' equity 23.16%. Above what most companies in the sector manage.

  • Return on invested capitalProfit generated from all capital employed — equity and debt alike. Above the cost of capital (WACC) means value is created. Above 15% is very good.
  • Return on equityHow much net profit the company generates from shareholders' money. Above ~15% is very good; consistency matters as much as the level.
  • Return on assetsHow much profit the company draws from the assets it owns. Above ~5% is solid, though it varies widely by industry.
  • Gross profitabilityGross profit against assets — the quality measure proposed by Novy-Marx. High readings point to a durable competitive advantage.
  • Free cash flow marginHow much of sales is left as free cash after investment. Above ~15% is very healthy.
  • Cash operating profitabilityProfitability measured on cash actually collected, not on accounting profit. High readings mean reported profit is backed by real money.
  • ROIC − WACC spreadThe gap between the return on capital and what that capital costs. Positive means invested capital adds value. Negative means it destroys value.
  • Net margin (DuPont breakdown)The margin component of the DuPont breakdown of returns. Higher means the firm keeps more of every unit sold.

How fast does it grow?

55 · solid

Walmart Inc. revenue grew 4.99% a year over the past five years, and net profit 10.14%.

  • Revenue growth (5-year annual)Average yearly revenue growth over the past five years. Above ~10% is solid growth for a mature company.
  • Earnings per share growth (5-year annual)Average yearly growth in earnings per share. Faster than revenue means expanding margins or buybacks.
  • Free cash flow growth (5-year annual)Average yearly growth in free cash flow. Keeping pace with profit means growth is backed by real money.
  • Net income growth (5-year annual)Average yearly growth in net income. Steady and positive points to a predictable business model.
  • Rule of 40Revenue growth added to the profitability margin. Above 40 means a good balance between growth and profitability.
  • Consecutive years of dividend growthHow many years in a row the dividend per share has grown, without a single break. A long streak shows a company that can afford to raise the payout to shareholders year after year.

Is profit backed by real cash?

68 · solid

The Walmart Inc. Piotroski score is 7 out of 9, and reported profit is backed by cash actually collected.

  • Piotroski F-score (0–9)Nine financial health checks; each one passed adds a point. 7 or more means improving fundamentals.
  • Montier C-score (0–6)Six warning signals about the quality of accounting. 0–1 is clean; 4 or above calls for caution.
  • Accruals ratio (Sloan)How much of reported profit is accounting only, rather than cash collected. Low or negative means profit is backed by real money.

How efficiently does it use its money?

57 · solid

Money put into sales comes back to Walmart Inc. in 3.2 days.

  • Cash conversion cycleHow many days pass between paying suppliers and collecting from customers. Low or negative means the company funds operations with its partners' money.
  • Cash conversion cycle (5-year average)The five-year average of the conversion cycle — it shows consistency, not just this year. Stable and low means durable operational discipline.
  • Cash conversion rateHow much of accounting profit actually turns into cash. Above 100% means profit is more than covered by real money.
  • ROIC minus WACC spread (5-year average)The same gap between the return on capital and its cost, but computed on the five-year average return rather than the current year. Positive and stable means growth worth financing.

The scores are percentiles against companies in the same sector, not absolute marks. A low score means the sector is doing better, not necessarily that the figures are bad.

Risks & Resilience

Risks in Walmart Inc. (WMT) stock: balance sheet strength, distance from financial distress, and behaviour in past crises. The low-risk score is 91.8 out of 100, in the upper end of the market.

91.8 · strongLow risk

debt and solvency

96.1credit health

Nothing to fault

A balance sheet is judged on two things: whether the company can pay its debts out of what it produces, and how far it is from not being able to pay them at all. For Walmart Inc., both answers are below.

Can it pay its debts?

Walmart Inc.: Yes, with room to spare. Operating profit covers interest 13.45 times over, and the debt clears in 1.51 years of operating profit.

7596.1Credit health scoreComposite score summarising the firm's ability to carry its debt. Above 70 points to a solid balance sheet.
351.51xDebt / EBITDAHow many years of operating profit it would take to cover total debt. Below 3 is comfortable; above 4 becomes a burden.
1.5313.45xInterest coverageHow many times operating profit covers the interest the company owes in a year. Above 3 is comfortable; below 1.5 means interest eats almost all the profit.
315.32Distance to default (Merton)How many standard deviations the firm value sits above its debt level. Above 3 is a comfortable margin.

How close is it to default?

Walmart Inc.: Very far. The composite score is 7.7 out of 100, on a scale where lower is better, and no model signals strain. Altman places it in the safe zone.

Altman Z'' scoreStatistical model estimating bankruptcy risk, adapted for non-financial firms. Above 2.6 is the safe zone; below 1.1 is the distress zone.
Probability of distress (Ohlson)Statistical model estimating the risk of financial distress. Low means a balance sheet under no strain.
Probability of distress (Zmijewski)Alternative model for estimating financial distress risk. Low means limited risk; useful as a cross-check on the Ohlson model.
Probability of default (Merton)Estimated chance the firm cannot service its debt over one year. Below 1% means negligible credit risk.

Forensic signals

0Clean

Statistical models that look for patterns associated with aggressive reporting. Walmart Inc.: no signal raised.

The quality of reported profit

Montier C-score (0–6)Six warning signals about the quality of accounting. 0–1 is clean; 4 or above calls for caution.
Accruals ratio (Sloan)How much of reported profit is accounting only, rather than cash collected. Low or negative means profit is backed by real money.
Cash conversion rateHow much of accounting profit actually turns into cash. Above 100% means profit is more than covered by real money.
Goodwill shareHow much of the company’s assets are goodwill - the premium paid over book value in acquisitions. Above 30% of assets means a large part of the balance sheet depends on acquisitions working out.
Tax rate deviationHow far the tax actually paid differs from the statutory rate in the company’s country. Close to zero is normal. A large, sustained deviation is worth a look at the notes.

What the model raised

The models raised no signal for this company.

These are statistical screening models, not accusations. A signal means “worth a closer look”, not “this is fraud”. The Beneish, Montier, Sloan and Piotroski models are published in the academic literature; the thresholds used are those from the original papers.

A statistical screening signal, not an accusation of fraud.

How the price moves

Market & Momentum

So far this has been about the company. From here on it is about the share: how much it swings, how deep it fell, and whether the move was worth the risk.

Volatility and risk

26.30%one-year volatility

How choppy Walmart Inc. has been, and how deep its falls have gone.

How much it swings

0.62calmer than the marketBetaHow strongly the share moves when the market moves. Below 1 is calmer than the market; above 1 amplifies its moves.
0.48Downside betaHow much the share moves against the market, measured ONLY on days the market falls. Lower than ordinary beta = falls less than it rises. Higher = amplifies the falls.
0.03Beta over the last yearThe same market sensitivity, but computed on the last twelve months only. Compared with long-term beta, it shows whether the share has turned choppier lately.
0.43Raw betaHow much the share moves against the market, without the usual statistical adjustment. Above 1 = moves more than the market. This is the unsmoothed figure; adjusted beta is steadier.
market
Annualised volatility (1 year)How much the price swings over a year, as a standard deviation. Lower means a smoother ride, not necessarily a higher return.
Annualised volatility (3 years)How widely the price swings in a year, measured over the last three. Below 20% is calm; above 40% takes a strong stomach.

How deep it fell

−36.44%Maximum drawdownThe largest peak-to-trough fall over the period analysed. Smaller is easier to sit through.
−10.14%Current drawdownHow far today’s price sits below the highest peak reached. Zero means it is at the peak. The deeper it is, the more there is to recover.
−22.31%Distance from the 52-week highHow far the price sits below its highest level of the past 52 weeks. Near zero = at the high. Deeply negative = it has given up a lot from the peak.
22.24%Likely worst-case drawdownHow deep the fall could be in the worst 5% of scenarios. Lower is better. It is a statistical estimate, not a guaranteed floor.
Ulcer index (1 year)How deep and how long the falls of the past year were, in a single figure. Lower is better: it measures discomfort, not just swing.
Ulcer index (3 years)How deep and how long the falls below previous peaks have been. Low means few long stretches spent below the peak.
Days to recoverHow many days the price needed to return to its peak after the largest fall. Fewer is better. Hundreds of days means patience was tested.

Volatility and beta are computed from daily prices over the last year and the last three. They measure the past; they are not forecasts.

The words next to the figures are states with established names, not recommendations: “oversold” does not mean “worth buying”. Verdicts appear only on the risk ratios, where there is a clear direction of better.

Return against risk

0.85one-year Sharpe

The same gain earned with wide or narrow swings is not worth the same. The figures below divide the return by the risk it was earned with.

How much return for each unit of risk

0.851.30moderateSharpe ratioReturn above the risk-free rate for each unit of volatility. Above 1 is good; above 2 is remarkable.
1.271.95goodSortino ratioLike Sharpe, but only penalising downward swings, not upward ones. Above 1.5 means good return relative to downside risk.
1.161.27goodOmega ratioThe ratio of gains to losses over the past year, weighted by their size. Above 1 means the good side weighed more than the bad.
0
Total return, 12 monthsGain over the past year, with dividends reinvested. Compared with the benchmark index, not in isolation.
Calmar ratioAnnual return divided by the largest drawdown suffered. Above 0.5 is decent. It says how much return you got for each unit of pain.
Treynor ratio (1 year)Return above the risk-free rate divided by beta - against market risk, not total swing. Higher is better. Useful when the share is held in a portfolio rather than alone.

All of them measure gain against some form of risk: Sharpe against total swing, Sortino against downward swing only, Calmar against the deepest fall, Treynor against market risk. Above 1 is generally good, but these compare between companies, not in absolute terms.

Trend and oscillators

38.7714-day RSI

Where the Walmart Inc. share price sits against its moving averages, and how stretched the recent move is.

Against the averages

50-day moving averageThe average price over the last fifty trading sessions. It is the short-term reference: price above it means a recent upward trend.
200-day moving averageThe average price over the last two hundred sessions. It is the long-term reference, the most watched line in technical analysis.
yesAbove the 200-day averageWhether today’s price is above or below the long-term average. Above is read as a structural uptrend; below, a downtrend.
yesShort average above the long oneWhether the 50-day average is above the 200-day. When the short crosses above the long it is called a golden cross; the reverse, a death cross.
upMoving-average crossover stateWhich average is on top, expressed as +1 or −1. +1 = short above long; −1 = the reverse.
downParabolic SAR directionThe direction signal given by the Parabolic SAR indicator. +1 = uptrend; −1 = downtrend.

Oscillators

307038.77no signalRelative strength index (RSI 14)How fast the price rose or fell over the last fourteen days, on a scale from 0 to 100. Below 30 is considered oversold, above 70 overbought. In between, no signal.
-100100-97.81in the channelCommodity channel index (CCI 20)How far the price is from its twenty-day average, measured in typical deviations. Between −100 and +100 is normal; outside that, an unusual move against the recent pattern.
010.22in the bandPosition in the Bollinger bandWhere the price sits between the lower band (0) and the upper band (1) of the volatility channel. Below 0 or above 1 means the price has left the channel - rare, and usually brief.
202521.09weak trendTrend strength (ADX 14)How clear the price direction is, whether it rises or falls. Above 25 = a clear trend; below 20 = it moves sideways.
MACD lineThe gap between the 12-day and the 26-day exponential average - how fast direction is changing. Above the signal and rising means upward momentum.
MACD signalThe nine-day average of the MACD line. It is the threshold the line is read against. It is not judged on its own: what matters is whether the line is above or below it.
MACD histogramThe gap between the MACD line and its signal - how fast momentum is changing. Positive and rising = upward momentum; negative = downward momentum.
On-balance volume slope (50 days)Where cumulative volume is heading over the last fifty sessions. Positive means more is being accumulated than distributed.

The thresholds marked on the scales are the usual ones in technical analysis: 30 and 70 for RSI, ±100 for CCI, 0 and 1 for the Bollinger band, 20 and 25 for trend strength. They are widely used conventions, not rules.

Who it suits

19/30checks passed

Each row below is a way of investing. The more checks Walmart Inc. passes on one, the better it suits that way - there is no “correct” row.

StrongestFinancial health
WeakestValue
  • passedUpside to fair valueHow much room there is between today’s price and the value computed from discounted cash flows. Positive means the model sees the share below its value.
  • failedPrice / earnings (trailing 12 months)How many years of current profit you pay for one share. Judged against sector and growth rate, never in isolation.
  • failedPrice / sales (trailing 12 months)How many times annual sales you pay for a share. Useful for companies without profit; judged against the sector, not in absolute terms.
  • failedFree cash flow yieldHow much free cash the company produces relative to its market value. Above ~5% is attractive; below 2% is expensive.
  • failedMargin of safetyHow far the market price sits below our fair-value estimate. Positive and wide means buying below value. Negative means paying above it.
  • passedReturn on capital above its costWhether the return on invested capital exceeds the weighted average cost of capital. Above the cost of capital the company creates value; below, it destroys it.
  • passedReturn on equityHow much net profit the company generates from shareholders' money. Above ~15% is very good; consistency matters as much as the level.
  • failedNet margin (DuPont breakdown)The margin component of the DuPont breakdown of returns. Higher means the firm keeps more of every unit sold.
  • failedCompetitive moatHow well defended the company’s position is against competitors. A wide moat means profit is harder to erode.
  • passedPiotroski F-scoreNine balance-sheet and profitability checks, one point for each one passed. Above 7 out of 9 is considered solid; below 3, weak.
  • passedSloan ratioHow much of the profit comes from accounting accruals rather than cash received. Near zero is better: the profit shows up in the account, not just the report.
  • passedWarning flagsThe number of forensic flags raised by the reporting-quality models. Zero is what you want to see.
  • passedDebt / EBITDAHow many years of operating profit it would take to cover total debt. Below 3 is comfortable; above 4 becomes a burden.
  • passedAltman Z'' scoreStatistical model estimating bankruptcy risk, adapted for non-financial firms. Above 2.6 is the safe zone; below 1.1 is the distress zone.
  • passedInterest coverageHow many times operating profit covers the interest the company owes in a year. Above 3 is comfortable; below 1.5 means interest eats almost all the profit.
  • passedProbability of default (Merton)Estimated chance the firm cannot service its debt over one year. Below 1% means negligible credit risk.
  • passedBehaviour in recessionHow the share behaved through recent economic contractions. A smaller fall than the market shows resilience.
  • passedEarnings per share growth (5-year annual)Average yearly growth in earnings per share. Faster than revenue means expanding margins or buybacks.
  • failedRevenue growth (5-year annual)Average yearly revenue growth over the past five years. Above ~10% is solid growth for a mature company.
  • failedRule of 40Revenue growth added to the profitability margin. Above 40 means a good balance between growth and profitability.
  • failedAnalyst revisionsWhich way analysts have moved their estimates lately. Upward means expectations are rising.
  • failedDividend yield (trailing 12 months)Dividends paid over the past year against the current price. Judged together with sustainability, not on level alone.
  • passedPayout ratioHow much of the profit is paid out as dividend. Below 60% leaves room to grow; above 100% means the dividend exceeds the profit.
  • passedStreak of good reportsHow many quarters in a row the company has beaten expectations. A long streak shows predictability; a broken one, a change.
  • passedTotal shareholder yieldDividends, buybacks and debt reduction taken together. The full picture of money returned to shareholders.
  • passedBeats, last yearHow many times over the last year the result came in above estimates. More beats suggest cautious estimates or good execution.
  • passedBeats, three yearsHow many times over the last three years the result came in above estimates. More beats suggest cautious estimates or good execution.
  • passedBeats, five yearsHow many times over the last five years the result came in above estimates. More beats suggest cautious estimates or good execution.
  • passedPrice momentumThe direction and strength of the recent price move. Positive means the recent trend is upward.
  • failedSharpe ratio (1 year)Return above the risk-free rate for each unit of volatility. Above 1 is good; above 2 is remarkable.

A failed check is not a flaw in itself: a growth company fails almost everything to do with value, and that is normal. What matters is the pattern, where it passes and where it fails, not the count on its own.
