Okay, so everyone’s buzzing about Walmart earnings on February 19th. Fine. It’s up 13% year-to-date. Thirteen percent! Like that’s some kind of achievement. It’s a grocery store. People have to eat. It’s not exactly rocket science. And now everyone’s acting like it’s the next tech unicorn. I just… I don’t get it.
They talk about “omnichannel growth.” What does that mean? It means you can order groceries online and then stand in line at the store to pick them up. So, you’re combining the inconvenience of both worlds? Brilliant. And “solid fundamentals?” It sells stuff people need. That’s a fundamental. I’m starting to think these analysts just make up words.
And the pricing power. Of course, they have pricing power. It’s Walmart! They crush small businesses, strong-arm suppliers… it’s practically a superpower. But nobody wants to talk about that part. Just “pricing power.” It’s infuriating.
The stock’s up 160% in five years. Okay, fine. But the S&P 500 is up too, you know. It’s not like they’re the only ones doing well. And they beat expectations in November. So what? Expectations are usually ridiculously low. It’s a low bar, people. A very low bar.
Now they’re a trillion-dollar company. A trillion! It’s just… numbers are losing all meaning. And a P/E ratio of 40? A PEG ratio of 4? What are these ratios even for? I feel like I need a PhD just to understand what people are talking about. And frankly, I don’t want a PhD. I just want to know if this stock is a good deal. Is that too much to ask?
Walmart is still a buy, apparently
Look, I’m not saying it’s a terrible company. It’s just… overvalued. It’s always overvalued. People get caught up in the hype. They see a stock going up and they just pile in. It’s like lemmings. And now everyone’s saying “long-term investors shouldn’t worry.” That’s what they always say. It’s a convenient excuse to justify irrational behavior.
They’re expanding internationally, doubling revenue by 2028. More stores. More stuff. More lines. It’s a never-ending cycle of consumerism. And everyone’s applauding. It’s exhausting.
Historically, patience has been rewarded. Sure. Because people forget about their investments eventually. Or they die. Either way, the stock goes up. It’s not exactly a brilliant strategy. But it works. And that’s what matters, right? The bottom line. It just… it feels wrong. Like we’re all missing something. Like there’s a giant, unspoken rule we’re all breaking. And nobody wants to admit it.
