Walmart is in my Roth IRA and I plan on increasing the weight of this stock within my portfolio due to the strong historical performance, beta, dividend yield, and fundamentals. This stock passes the 5-Component Theory with flying colors. This retailer has locations internationally and is a recession proof stock. My intuition says Walmart will be around for a while as it operates internationally and has a large presence as an e-commerce retailer with a growing net income. I bought in to this stock during the March 2020 market crash and it has soared ever since. The market has since become overvalued.
