Top 5 Growth Stocks To Watch Right Now


source: price2spy

The latest earnings report from Wal-Mart (WMT) suggests the company may have turned the corner with its long-term strategy of trying to keep up with Amazon’s (AMZN) dominance of e-commerce in the U.S. market.

With costs associated with improving its e-commerce results, it means the company may be moving toward a model closer to Amazon in regard to having to spend a lot to generate growth, at the expense of margins and earnings.

As a whole, Wal-Mart looks like it could generate some meaningful growth over the next year, and I think it could be a solid holding, even with some downward pressure on earnings. As investor response to Amazon has shown over the years, in the area of e-commerce, they’re more interested in revenue than earnings.
