MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Walmart
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Walmart:

The current stock price is around $102.40, which may present a buying opportunity for investors looking for value in a well-established company.
Walmart has received multiple "outperform" ratings from analysts, indicating strong confidence in its future performance and potential for growth.
The company has a solid market capitalization of approximately $816.42 billion, reflecting its stability and significant presence in the retail sector.
Recent insider trading activity shows executives selling shares, which can indicate confidence in the company's future prospects, as they may be reallocating their investments.
Walmart's stock has a relatively low beta of 0.65, suggesting it is less volatile than the market, which can be appealing for risk-averse investors.

Walmart
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Walmart for these reasons:

Insider sales have totaled 134,107 shares worth over $13 million in the last quarter, which could raise concerns about the executives' confidence in the company's short-term performance.
The stock has experienced a recent decline of about 1.2%, which may indicate potential challenges in maintaining its current price level.
Walmart's current ratio of 0.79 suggests that the company may have difficulty meeting its short-term liabilities, which could be a red flag for investors.
The company's P/E ratio of 38.50 is relatively high, indicating that the stock may be overvalued compared to its earnings, which could deter value-focused investors.
With a PEG ratio of 4.88, the stock may not be seen as a good growth investment, as this ratio suggests that the stock price is high relative to its expected earnings growth.
