At the center of everything we do is a strong commitment to independent research and sharing its profitable discoveries with investors. This dedication to giving investors a trading advantage led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system. Since 1988 it has more than doubled the S&P 500 with an average gain of +23.75% per year. These returns cover a period from January 1, 1988 through July 7, 2025. Zacks Rank stock-rating system returns are computed monthly based on the beginning of the month and end of the month Zacks Rank stock prices plus any dividends received during that particular month. A simple, equally-weighted average return of all Zacks Rank stocks is calculated to determine the monthly return. The monthly returns are then compounded to arrive at the annual return. Only Zacks Rank stocks included in Zacks hypothetical portfolios at the beginning of each month are included in the return calculations. Zacks Ranks stocks can, and often do, change throughout the month. Certain Zacks Rank stocks for which no month-end price was available, pricing information was not collected, or for certain other reasons have been excluded from these return calculations. Zacks may license the Zacks Mutual Fund rating provided herein to third parties, including but not limited to the issuer.

Zacks News
Walmart Inc., which removed “Stores” from its name in 2018, has evolved from just being a traditional brick-and-mortar retailer into an omnichannel player. In this regard, acquisitions of Jet.com, Bonobos, Moosejaw and Parcel, partnership with JD.com and Lord and Taylor, and investment in online e-commerce platform Flipkart are noteworthy. These position the company to keep pace with the changing retail ecosystem and stay firm in the presence of rivals like Amazon and Target. Markedly, Walmart’s product offerings include almost everything from grocery to cosmetics, electronics to stationery, home furnishings to health and wellness products, and apparel to entertainment products, to name a few. The company operates as Walmart in the United States (its largest segment), including the 50 states, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico. Its International segment (second largest) operated businesses in 26 countries as of Jan 31, 2019. Apart from United States, Walmart has operations in Argentina, Canada, Chile, China, India, Japan, Mexico, United Kingdom, Africa and Central America. The company operates in Mexico as Walmex, in the U.K. as Asda, in Japan as Seiyu, and in India as Best Price.
