Walmart Vs. Target: One Is The Much Better Bear Market Buy
This bear market has seen even dividend aristocrats crash as much as 25% in a single day and 30% in a week. But not all aristocrat crashes represent potentially good bargain hunting opportunities, fundamentals and valuations always matter. Walmart and Target are both very safe dividend aristocrats that have made investors rich over time. Both are suffering from temporary inflation and supply chain issues that have resulted in the worst crashes since Black Monday, 1987. Target is a higher quality dividend king, with better risk management, 2X the growth rate, a higher yield, and 4X the long-term return potential of WMT. WMT remains a "hold" while TGT is a potentially strong buy (verging on a very strong buy) for anyone comfortable with its risk profile.
