Is Walmart under- or over-valued?
Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Walmart P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.
Walmart's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 41x. In other words, Walmart's shares trade at around 41x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of March 2025 (25.37). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
However, Walmart's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.
- Costco Wholesale (COST.US): 58.83
- Target Corporation (TGT.US): 10.42
- Tesco (TSCO.LSE): 16.60
- Amazon-com (AMZN.US): 33.56
Walmart's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.7061. Higher PEG ratios such as this can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value given the current rate of growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Walmart's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider Walmart's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
- Costco Wholesale (COST.US): 5.51
- Target Corporation (TGT.US): 2.19
- Tesco (TSCO.LSE): 1.43
- Amazon-com (AMZN.US): 2.28
Walmart's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $42.5 billion (£31.5 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of Walmart's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.
- Costco Wholesale (COST.US): USD$12.4 billion
- Target Corporation (TGT.US): USD$9 billion
- Tesco (TSCO.LSE): £4.2 billion
- Amazon-com (AMZN.US): USD$126.1 billion
