🌟🌟🌟Is $Wal-Mart(WMT)$ 45x P/E ratio reasonable?  To put that into perspective, that is a "tech style" valuation for a company that sells rotisserie chickens and groceries.

The Yes Case:  Investors are treating Walmart as a defensive tech giant.  Between its AI driven supply chain, and its massive Walmart+ ecosystem, it is being priced like a growth stock that just happens to have a fortress of physical stores.

The No Case: Critics argue that this valuation is unsustainably high for a mature retailer with single digit growth.  When P/E exceeds 45, you are not just buying groceries, you are buying a lot of hope.

As a dividend focused investor, I like Walmart as it is a Dividend King.  Walmart has been paying increasing dividends for 53 consecutive years.

That is a great source of passive income while waiting for capital growth.
