Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Margin pressure should abate as Walmart’s recent investments in omnichannel fulfillment and its third-party marketplace continue to scale.

Bears

Walmart’s third-party marketplace and third-party fulfilment capacity pale relative to Amazon’s scale. We posit Amazon can underprice Walmart on commissions, listing fees, and fulfillment services related to its marketplace.
