Precisely! Because Walmart has been around longer and so successful, they are having difficulty topping previous same store results (U.S domestic market) in this very difficult economic environment. The stock buyback program should insure a solid floor on the stock price, and the dividend is increasing nicely as a percentage of the share price. Additionally, the recent Supreme Court decision in Walmart's favor must surely hold some as yet unrecognized value for investors. There are a number of pluses and few minuses for the long term, in my opinion.
