Why Terranova Is Bullish on WMT Stock

Walmart’s first quarter results were “very strong,” the investor stated. Although investors have been concerned about the giant retailer’s high spending levels, Terranova thinks that Walmart Inc (WMT) is effectively using the funds to gain market share and enhance its e-commerce business.

WMT has “proven in the past that (it) can capture market share when it wants to utilize its scale,” said Terranova. “I expect it will be fine in e-commerce,” he added.
