Analyst Explains Why Walmart (WMT) is The Best Retail Stock to Buy Now - 'Nobody's Even Close'

We recently published Analysts Are Talking About These 10 Stocks as AI Investments Continue to Grow. Walmart Inc (NYSE:WMT) is one of the stocks analysts were recently talking about.

Retail expert Jan Rogers Kniffen said in a recent program on Schwab Network that Walmart Inc (NYSE:WMT) is the best retailer in America and shared the reasons why he likes the stock:

“NRF just told us that last month sales were up 6% in the industry almost 7% actually well over 6%. And the prior month they were up almost 6%. We are seeing a strong consumer at this moment and whatever tariffs are getting passed through are getting absorbed right now by the consumer but it looks like only 40 to 60% are getting passed through anyway. So, stepping back and looking at Walmart, they’re the best retailer in America. They’re handling the tariffs extraordinarily well. They’ve been very careful on their pricing. Their customer service is basically perfect. Their stores look fabulous. Nobody’s even close. And I don’t see how anybody competes with them.”

While we acknowledge the potential of WMT as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
