Walmart (NYSE: WMT) is showing signs of vulnerability as consumer confidence declines and inflation surpasses expectations, threatening its recent positive momentum. With over 80% of its inventory coming from China, the company is particularly susceptible to tariffs that could compress margins if the costs cannot be passed on to increasingly cautious consumers. Despite a strong quarterly performance, market pressures have not yet been fully reflected in the stock price, indicating a potential for significant reassessment should trade tensions worsen.
Walmart's recent performance, while strong, is now overshadowed by declining consumer confidence and rising inflation, raising concerns about future stock pricing amidst potential risks.
With over 80% of Walmart's inventory sourced from China, any broad-based tariffs could severely impact profit margins, pushing costs onto consumers already feeling inflation.
