Retail Sector Ideas

[gfp927z]

>>> Walmart (NYSE:WMT) - Walmart is the world’s biggest retailer, as well as the world’s largest company by revenue. It has many competitive advantages, including economies of scale that work in its favor, a reputation for low prices, and stores within 10 miles of 90% of the U.S. population.

But what makes the company more than just a long-time Dividend Aristocrat is the fact that Walmart is becoming more than just a retailer. The company is leveraging its physical footprint to enter industries such as healthcare by adding health clinics. It also launched a fintech startup in early 2021 and poached two Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) executives to lead it. The company has built a formidable e-commerce business that ranks second in the U.S. behind Amazon, giving it a valuable stake in a rapidly growing market. With the company clearly evolving, Walmart could be a much different organization in five or 10 years.

With its reputation for low prices, Walmart is also well-prepared to endure a recession or economic downturn.
