Walmart is seen as a steady, defensive company that should keep growing a bit over the next few months as it invests in technology and operations. Recent leadership news and pharmacy workforce moves keep investors paying attention. Gains may be limited if the stock runs up too fast, so buying on small pullbacks gives a better chance of success.

Primary drivers

  • Big retail reach keeps customers coming back
  • Investing in tech should improve shopping and delivery
  • Leadership changes keep the company in the spotlight
  • Spending on operations can improve services and profits
