Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT) is another American mega-retailer that has benefited amidst high inflation. Its shares have gained 40% over the past year as the firm has leveraged its scale to eke share away from discount retailers. Throughout 2025, Cramer has been optimistic about Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT). He believes the firm can leverage its scale to withstand any tariff-induced inflationary pressures. However, his latest comments take a more cautious approach:

“Now I would love Walmart to come out and say it’s business as usual. And I don’t think they’re gonna say that. So I’m not, it doesn’t make you bullish.”

“And a lot of them have been in a real slide because people say Walmart’s been taking it to them. I think this is, well wait a second, maybe that thesis is, is not as pertinent.”

“I think the one you wanna watch is Walmart, because Walmart did not come out and say things are good. They didn’t. Walmart has left me feeling uncertain. I know Costco is good, but the CFO did not make that point. There’s a lot of bad messaging on the part of a lot of people.”
