Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 43 days.
The thesis — published September 2, 2025
Walmart looks like a steady, well-known store chain whose stock has fallen enough to interest bargain hunters. Recent news shows big Q2 sales of $177.4B and new AI tools that make its online marketplace run better. Amazon Prime sign-ups slowed, which may help Walmart. Even if some chart readings look soft, calmer interest rates and more online sales could lift profits, making a 0-3 month bounce reasonable.
Primary drivers
- Q2 sales were very large, showing the core business is solid and steady
- New AI tools help sellers and boost online shopping activity for customers
- Share price looks beaten down, leaving room for a short-term rebound
- Rivals show slower momentum, giving Walmart room to win shoppers
