Jim Cramer Highlights Walmart's Strength Compared to Peers

Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT) is one of the stocks on Jim Cramer’s radar recently. Cramer mentioned the company during the episode and remarked:

“In retail, after years of retrenchment, a lot of it thanks to digital competition. Retailers still have too many workers, too many stores. Only an outfit like Walmart, which has the same scale as an Amazon or Costco, can compete without worrying about its balance sheet.”

Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT) operates retail and wholesale stores, membership clubs, and eCommerce platforms. The company provides groceries, consumables, apparel, home goods, electronics, and financial services, along with health and wellness products, fuel, and digital payment solutions through its global network and online channels. During the September 4 episode, when a caller inquired about the stock in light of inflation and tariffs, Cramer responded:

“Okay, I am so glad you asked me this because people have Walmart wrong. They’re a very forthcoming company. They say, listen, we’re going to have some problems… They’re very, they’re very honest. They’re terrific, and what they’ve done is make, it’s actually end up scaring people out of their stock. It does have a high price-to-earnings multiple. I do prefer Costco. I do hope Costco has a just okay month, so you can buy that cheaper tomorrow. But Walmart’s fine. It’s a fine stock.”
