Walmart's P/E of about 50 is hard to justify with only about 5% growth, while Alphabet, Apple, Amazon, Meta and Nvidia trade at 20-45 times earnings and all grow far faster. x.com

Amazon looks cheap against its expected long-term earnings growth if that growth proves accurate. Its five-year consensus growth is the fastest in the Magnificent 7 after Nvidia, while its 0.90 forward P/E-to-growth ratio is the lowest excluding Nvidia. x.com x.com
Walmart's 43.28x earnings multiple makes the stock impossible to buy for a long time. Its historical median is 31.13x, and even at 30x it would not be attractive. x.com
Walmart may be setting up for a big bounce, with its pullback matching the pattern of its last two bottoms. The stock is down about 25% from its all-time high, as it was before both prior bottoms, which also showed RSI divergence. Its forward P/E has fallen from near 40 earlier this year to a more respectable 31, and it is holding just above the psychological $100 level near a prior breakout area. x.com
Alphabet's earnings growth makes its valuation look attractive. It trades at 21x forward earnings and a 0.47 PEG while EPS grows 34% year over year; shares are down almost 9% year to date. Search still grows 12% and Cloud grows 103%, undercutting the concern that Search will sink the business. x.com x.com
Walmart and Costco are very overvalued while Nvidia is undervalued: per Charlie Bilello, Costco trades at 45x forward earnings, Walmart at 36x and Nvidia at 17x. A high multiple can be justified for a growth company like Nvidia, but not for Costco and definitely not for Walmart. x.com x.com
Walmart has the strongest fundamentals in retail, with $725B+ of revenue, exploding e-commerce and market-share gains while rivals bleed. It is a defensive cash-printing machine in a shaky economy, and analysts rate it a moderate buy with $140+ targets. x.com
Walmart is too expensive for its growth. Its P/E is twice Nvidia's while it grows only about 4%, whereas Nvidia just posted triple-digit year-over-year growth. Women's clothing going viral is not enough reason to go long. x.com
Nvidia's rising revenue alongside a much lower P/E is getting hard to ignore. Its chart shows quarterly revenue above $80 billion in Q2 2026 while the P/E is around 30x, down from much higher multiples in prior years. x.com
Walmart is expensive at 40 times forward earnings on a 3% net margin. That is nearly double Nvidia's 21 times, even though Nvidia earns a 63% margin. x.com
Amazon looks cheap against its growth and cash-generating businesses. At about 3.5 times trailing revenue and a roughly 20 trailing P/E, it has $776B in sales, AWS growing 37% year over year, plus advertising and marketplace cash engines. x.com
