Walmart is a low-risk core holding with clear optionality: steady cash flow, a $1.1T market cap and a high-return retail engine that can expand margins through omnichannel efficiency and Sam's Club membership growth. Valuation is full today, but the risk/reward becomes attractive on measured entry. This trade targets margin re-rating catalysts over…
Qfin trades at roughly 0.60x book and a sub-3x P/E while yielding more than 9%.
