My guess is that Walmart is busy trying to diversify its supplier base outside of China or at least developing supplier contingency plans. See: [https://www.businessinsider.com/trade-supply-chains-china-separating-southeast-asia-off-shoring-decouple-2023-9 Supply chains are diversifying away from China, causing a shift in global-trade patterns.] [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 09:04, October 8, 2023 (EDT)

:As stock options go, Walmart has been a "safe" investment for some time. I don't see Walmart going away anytime soon. Target is just Walmart, with higher prices. As long as people have disposable income, some will choose it over Walmart, just because the prices '''are''' higher. (It helps keep out the "undesirables," I suppose.) Target also keeps making public moves to support liberal ideals. [https://nypost.com/2023/05/23/target-ceo-defends-woke-capitalism-in-face-of-boycott-calls/] [https://money.cnn.com/2016/04/20/news/companies/target-transgender-bathroom-lgbt/index.html] This may tend to cause financial instability, at least in the sort term. [https://nypost.com/2023/05/28/target-loses-10b-following-boycott-calls-over-lgbtq-friendly-clothing/] So if Target makes too much of an unpopular political move, or people lose the ability to afford shopping at Target, it could drop.
:As for China, I imagine Walmart will have a hard time breaking into their market. They already have some solid options for cheap retail. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">DavidB4</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 14:52, October 8, 2023 (EDT)
