Is it time to sell America’s largest retailer?

by Steve Sjuggerud

Buying after today’s extreme is a bad idea. And if you’re a Walmart shareholder, history says the next year or so may be rough.

Walmart Launches Small Army Of Autonomous Scanning Robots

By Kiet DoMarc

The robots are 6 feet tall, equipped with an array of lights, cameras, and radar sensors.

It then goes up and down each aisle on its own, at 2 to 3 mph, scanning the shelves for empty spots, and also checking the price tags.

Because the robot uses LIDAR and other video cameras, what the robot actually sees is very similar to what a self-driving car sees.

Stocks to Buy and Hold: Walmart (WMT)

Yes, the advent of Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) has proven problematic for the world’s biggest retailer, Walmart Inc (NYSE:WMT). Rumors of Walmart’s death at the hands of Amazon, however, have been greatly exaggerated.

After being knocked over a few years ago, the company has regrouped, having figured out a way to fight the ever-growing reach of its online rival. The evidence? Last quarter’s same-store sales grew 2.6%. Per-share profits missed estimates, to be clear, but much of that miss can be attributed to investments the retailer has been making in itself.

While it has been an ugly battle at times, Walmart has finally learned how to compete with Amazon.com. The fact that it can leverage its stores to do so only bolsters the bullish case.

Stocks That Will Report Earnings Fails: Walmart (WMT)

One of the biggest winners in 2017 was Walmart Inc (NYSE:WMT). WMT stock rose more than 40% and had its best year in nearly two decades as the company accelerated its digital commerce growth narrative.

But WMT stock has also been one of the biggest losers in 2018. It is down 10% year-to-date and 20% off its late January highs.

This shouldn’t come as any surprise. After all, the company’s biggest competitor, Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT), hasn’t gone anywhere. After getting its butt kicked by Walmart for most of 2016 and 2017, Target is finally starting to fight back.

This is normal. Walmart and Target have been locked in competition for several decades. Walmart beats Target for a period of time. Then Target comes roaring back and beats Walmart for a period of time.

Right now, we are just starting the era where Target beats Walmart. For the first time in several quarters, Target posted better comparable sales growth, better traffic growth and better digital sales growth than Walmart last quarter.

Considering these periods of operational out-performance usually last for several quarters, it looks like Target will be besting Walmart for the next several quarters. That doesn’t bode well for WMT stock, which currently trades at an over-extended valuation (18-times forward earnings versus 5-year average of 16-times).

Consequently, considering Target is on the up and Walmart is on the down, this earnings season might not yield the best results for WMT stock.
