Shares of Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT) have remained a top Jim Cramer retail stock pick throughout 2025. The CNBC TV host has remained optimistic about the firm primarily due to its scale and the ability to drive prices low. He mentioned the latter in these remarks:

“Yeah and John David Rainey came over. Now John David, I’ve known him for many, many years. The CFO. And senior vice president. And I was concerned by the Walmart, their response about Amazon. Because Amazon, the Journal caught them raising prices. Now I’m trying to find out whether that’s [inaudible] but he said Walmart has not. And I think Walmart is, Walmart and Costco are the two great inflation fighters now. And I think that it’s, Walmart has a couple of, there was 200 million in shoppers. So, for them to hold down prices. . . and if we had an honest CPI, then you would have to question some of the prices that are up if they shop at Walmart. Because they didn’t increase the prices.

“Well CPI is all these different element of food. And you know, I think it matters where you shop. If you shop at Walmart. . .Then you know that things didn’t go up. Look you’re eyes are not lying.

S i salute Walmart and I think that this is terrific.”
