In conclusion, Wal-Mart’s stock buybacks will continue to be valuable as long as they continue. They increase the value of each share.

Wal-Mart has a tradition of decreasing the number of outstanding shares. Despite its slowing growth, I like its stability and friendliness to shareholders. I think the company is a great fit for those enjoying or nearing retirement.
