Walmart's Attractiveness and Valuation Amidst E-Commerce Expansion and Defensive Consumer Staple Status

Walmart has surged 24.9% year-to-date and 20.2% over the past year, with a 135.0% gain over 3 years and 143.8% over 5 years. Despite its strength, Walmart only scores 1 out of 6 on our undervaluation checks. A discounted cash flow analysis estimates the stock is only about 0.5% undervalued, suggesting it is effectively in line with fair value. However, this can change at a moment's notice.
