Innovative company, targeting multiple consumer levels. Lots of stores throughout the country where customers can see and "feel" the goods. Try the clothes before buying them etc. This gives a great advantage over pure online shops. Apart from this, Walmart is also very active in the online business and invests in rolling out drone-based fast delivery, eg for groceries. So, if you lack this one ingredient to your recipe, you may order it online and receive it right at your doorstep in no time. In this field, Walmart will however be subject to increasing competition from online-retailers such as Amazon. As Walmart maintains a lot of physical stores, they can cover more particular situations than Amazon.
As a result of their ongoing innovation into convenience, the share price has a good upside potential.
Walmart+ subscription also becomes increasingly popular. In the first-quarter earnings call, for the period ended April 30, management shared that Walmart+ members generally spend four times more than nonmembers. Those members also visit Walmart websites seven times more than nonmembers throughout the year. Walmart reported that revenue from its subscription service for the quarter rose by double digits.
