If you believe WMT can sustain its strong ROIC of 22.8% and defend its current earnings multiple, then hold rather than add aggressively because ADP-based P/E model still implies 33.3% downside.
WMT’s current price of $110.71 sits well above the P/E-implied value of $73.80, implying a 33.3% downside versus ADP-based model. The gap is driven by WMT trading at 40.8x P/E versus ADP’s 27.0x, even though WMT’s sales multiple is far lower, suggesting the market is paying up for earnings durability and scale rather than revenue growth.
