Walmart. Sam Walton opened the first store in 1962 in Bentonville, Arkansas, and the company has done nothing but grow since. Despite that success, Walmart’s stock does not always go up.

With the uncertainty of the effect of tariffs placed on imports from China, in their earnings report of February 20, 2025 Walmart acknowledged that earnings for 2025 would be below expectations.

On 3Mar25 I did a post on Walmart reflecting that its chart looked vulnerable to downside risk.  As it turned out, it was a timely post, price dropping the next trading day and ending a month later at the year’s low.  In the daily chart below, the purple highlight on the left marks the date of that post.  Note where the Ichimoku Cloud is (green & red dotted horizontals).
