Stocks to Buy: Walmart (WMT)

Although the event itself has almost become as cliche as Black Friday sales, there’s no denying that back-to-school shopping mania puts a lot of stocks on (or back on) investors’ radars.

Topping this year’s list of back-to-school stocks to buy is none other than Walmart (WMT).

Granted, WMT has been tough to own this year, with shares falling more than 20% from their peak around $90 in January and no end to the rout in sight.

But, with the retailer finally starting to fix some of its nagging problems and drawing larger spending crowds in its last two reported quarters, Walmart might end up being surprisingly competitive in August.

The kicker: If all goes well during the back-to-school quarter, the market may well gain enough faith in the company to push WMT upward all the way through the holiday shopping season.

Top Tech Innovator of 2016: Not Who You Think

It has been said by people smarter than I am that Wal-Mart leads in innovation.

The reason is: Wal-Mart does the math.

Open a new store every 11 days. Add a 15% markup to every item, large or small, sell and reorder it 12 times a year—that adds up to double the profit you get from a 25% markup on items you sell and reorder 4 times a year. Oh, and then insist on 90-day payment terms.

And make your suppliers kill for your business. The secret behind Wal-Mart’s simple math is astounding technological innovation that orders, takes delivery, distributes, prices, tracks and reorders a jar of peanut butter or a lawn mower millions of times a day.

If there were a Nobel Prize for innovation, Sam Walton would have gotten one for his distribution system, right behind Henry Ford for his assembly line.

Walton’s simple math is in the ruthless service of one ideal: a cheaper price for the customer. As a result of this focus, Wal-Mart has now become the largest company in the U.S. in terms of sales.

Indeed, it is said that Wal-Mart’s use of logistics to drive down costs has done more than the Fed ever did to tame inflation!
