WMT - February 16, 2021

Walmart is the dominant all things retail, defensive in turbulent times stock. Throughout the pandemic WMT has exhibited stellar e-commerce growth of US sales up 97% yoy compared to estimates of just 37% in Fiscal Q2. These growth levels are attributable to increased online shoppers as a result of the pandemic, and WMT has exhibited a best-in-class adoption of their e-commerce platform. From a technical perspective, WMT looks to breakout of the downtrend above 146 and push higher into earnings this Thursday after the bell. If there is no pre-earnings run up from WMT we will be comfortable holding shares though the earnings report.
