Walmart’s Fastest-Growing Business Isn’t Retail, but It Still Needs to Justify Its Premium Valuation

Inflation is proving stubborn again. Fuel prices are climbing, consumers are growing selective, and retailers are walking a tightrope between protecting margins and keeping shoppers loyal. That balancing act has become even tougher as investors demand growth and profitability at the same time. 

So when a retail giant like Walmart (WMT) posts solid quarterly results but still sees its stock tumble 7%, it raises a fair question: What exactly does Wall Street want now?
