Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 116

Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT) was mentioned during the episode, and here’s what Cramer had to say:

“I want to start with today’s trading. This morning, Walmart, largest retailer in the world, reported, and the stock initially rallied on the strength of their results…. But then management was cautionary about tariffs, don’t blame them, and the need to raise prices on the conference call, don’t blame them, and the stock very quickly reversed and dropped six points from its peak before the market opened. Now, I have to tell you, that reaction staggered me….

I’m positive that Walmart… will be a winner because of its dominance in the trenches. Its expertise, its sourcing, its inventory management, those are second to none. I mentioned that their balance sheet gives them a level of flexibility that the other retailers most certainly don’t have with the exception of Costco. Walmart can be tough with suppliers because they’ve got more bargaining power than any other store on Earth, because they’ve got that scale.

And let’s not forget that a quarter of their profits come from advertising, amazing gross margins there, and membership income. That’s an unassailable set of qualities equaled only by Cramer fave, Costco. These advantages aren’t going away because of the tariffs. If anything, I think they’re going to be accentuated. Tariffs are a problem for the entire industry, but Walmart’s one of the rare companies that can cope. Sure enough, the stock rallied… and [is] almost back to even. And I think the cynics who don’t believe that Walmart can handle this moment, they are destined to be losers.”
