Walmart Inc (NYSE:WMT) is nearing a significant 52-week high, leaving investors wondering whether it's time to buy or sell. Despite market uncertainty, multiple analysts reiterate their confidence in WMT, citing core holding stability and projected growth. Major asset management firms, including Condor Capital Management, Founders Financial Alliance, and Deutsche Bank AG, have substantially increased their shareholdings. Other firms like Fayez Sarofim & Co and Charles Schwab Investment Management have reportedly sold shares, creating a mixed landscape for investors. J.P. Morgan sees a 35% upside despite some stagnation since April, echoing sentiments of Westwood Holdings who recently offloaded 133,973 WMT shares. The stock faces competition from retail giants Costco and Amazon, but crucial Central American sales have strengthened its market position. There has also been speculation of a financial crime probe in India that could impact the stock. As the Trump-era economy persists, Walmart remains a strong 'port in the storm,' attracting attention from investors seeking recession-proof holdings. Appealing to value investors, WMT's positive performance over the last decade and robust stock outlook makes it an appealing buy. However, tariffs and in-store job cuts have raised concerns over stock performance and the future of the retail giant.
