Keeping this in view, is Walmart a buy or sell?
Walmart Stores Inc holds buy signals from both short- and long-term moving averages, but the stock has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average.
Likewise, will Walmart stock ever split again? As you can see, Walmart's stock splits were once fairly frequent, occurring in each of its first two years as a public company, and then five times in the 1980s. However, it's now been 18 years since the retailer's last stock split.

Is Walmart losing money?
While Walmart's online growth is impressive, it has been a drag on profit. Walmart's online operations have been losing at least $1 billion per year, analysts and media reports say. A July 8 investors' note from Simeon Gutman, an analyst with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, says the losses are even higher.
