Stock market turmoil in late 2021 - early 2022 created a lot of uncertainty, and stocks like WMT are a good defensive option to continue to profit. In fact, buying stocks that are guaranteed to do well in the long run during a bear market might be one of the best things to do. Walmart also pays consistent dividends, currently with a 1.6% yield.
The Walmart stock price was barely affected by the 2020 market crash compared to the general market, but it did not produce growth like tech and other companies whose stock price doubled post-pandemic. Which is why stocks like Walmart are called safe havens.
