Part 6/7:

However, he highlighted that the company’s ongoing commitments to returning capital to investors through dividends and share buybacks make it a viable option as part of a conservative investment portfolio. At current valuations, with a price-to-earnings ratio of about 21, Walmart appears to be positioned for stability rather than explosive growth.
