WMT Key Statistics
WMT in plain English
- P/E ratio (40.9) — how many dollars you pay for each $1 of WMT's yearly profit. That's high, so the market expects strong growth (and you're paying up for it).
- ROE (24.13%) — how efficiently the company turns shareholders' money into profit. Above ~20% is considered strong.
- Profit margin (3.14%) — of every $1 in sales, this is what's left as profit after all costs.
- Dividend yield (0.86%) — the cash payout you'd earn per year as a % of the share price, on top of any price gains.
