BofA has reinstated coverage of Walmart Inc. (WMT) with a “Buy” rating and a $150 price target, citing the company’s ability to gain market share among both high-income consumers with fast delivery and lower-income shoppers through its everyday low pricing strategy. The analyst anticipates steady sales growth and faster profit expansion, potentially leading to upward revisions in earnings estimates and a higher stock valuation. This positive outlook comes despite a recent $100 million settlement by Walmart with the FTC and 11 states over allegations of misleading delivery drivers about their earnings and tips in its Spark Driver program.
