Pessimists think WMT may face two big problems. The first is the economic downturn and high interest rates. This can lead to less consumer spending.

The business is focused on low prices. During an economic recession, more customers will buy from them. Telsey Advisory of Joseph Feldman believes that Walmart can expand its market share.

A second problem is a new US law on retail regulation.

In August 2024, the company released a strong report for the second quarter of its fiscal year. It reported growth in the number of stores and sales. This result shows the good performance of all business segments. 

Later WMT also showed good financial results. As of October 31, 2024, net income growth was 20.77% TTM.

This led many analysts to raise their price targets. They recommend buying WMT.

Experts at The Motley Fool say the key issue for WMT in the coming years is whether it can keep up with e-commerce. It has already made big progress in delivery and self-delivery.
