Let me tell you, people still gotta eat, even if food gets pricier. From what I've seen, WMT stock usually holds up pretty well when grocery prices jump. That’s because a lot of people head to Walmart to save money whenever stuff gets expensive everywhere else.

Even with tariffs making bananas and avocados pricier, Walmart is doing their best to keep food prices down. Their CFO literally said they're focused on keeping groceries affordable, even if they have to pay more themselves. And honestly, that’s why I think so many families shop there no matter what. The company might take a hit on profits in the short-term, but keeping customers happy means they’ll keep coming back, and that usually helps the stock in the long run.

So yeah, if you ask me, WMT stock is kinda like a safety net during tough times because people will always need basics and look for deals. Sure, there’s pressure from higher costs, but big stores like Walmart usually just find a way to keep rolling. I wouldn’t worry too much if I owned shares, but I’d still keep an eye on how crazy food prices get this year.
