Walmart (WMT) Deep Dive

Let’s check out Walmart today:

Walmart is kind of ordinary across the board. Not too many strong spots but nothing to glaringly weak either. In terms of market capitalization, it has been through a recent growth spurt:

But performance relative to the market as a whole has been poor:

With a plenty of misses in the past ten or so years than periods of outperformance:

Revenue growth has been steady but hardly explosive:

However, the price-to-sales ratio is hovering around a long-term low:

In terms of profit, things really fell off for a while, then returned, and fell again:

Because of that, price-to-earnings has also been choppy in the last few quarters:

And profitability has looked similar:

The balance sheet has been growing at a reasonable rate:

However, revenue growth has not been as fast:

And return on assets hasn’t looked great either:

Overall, these are pretty meh numbers and steady but boring trends. Walmart is a big huge company (no doubt about that), so it can be tough to grow at a fast clip. I personally don’t find much to get super excited about here based on its present situation.

Have a stock you want to see me cover on the next deep dive? Let me know by leaving a comment!
