We also analyze overall investor sentiment towards Walmart using Walmart's stock options and short interest. It helps to benchmark the overall future attitude of investors towards Walmart using crowd psychology based on the activity and movement of Walmart's stock price.

Walmart Short Interest

A significant increase or decrease in Walmart's short interest from the previous month could be a good indicator of investor sentiment towards Walmart. Short interest can provide insight into the potential direction of Walmart stock and how bullish or bearish investors feel about the market overall. An investor who is long Walmart may also wish to track short interest. As short interest increases, investors should be becoming more worried about Walmart and may potentially protect profits, hedge Walmart with its derivative instruments, or be ready for some potential downside.

Walmart Hype to Price Pattern

Investor biases related to Walmart's public news can be used to forecast risks associated with an investment in Walmart. The trend in average sentiment can be used to explain how an investor holding Walmart can time the market purely based on public headlines and social activities around Walmart. Please note that most equities that are difficult to arbitrage are affected by market sentiment the most.
Some investors profit by finding stocks that are overvalued or undervalued based on market sentiment. The correlation of Walmart's market sentiment to its price can help taders to make decisions based on the overall investors consensus about Walmart.

Walmart Implied Volatility

    
  14.42  
Walmart's implied volatility exposes the market's sentiment of Walmart stock's possible movements over time. However, it does not forecast the overall direction of its price. In a nutshell, if Walmart's implied volatility is high, the market thinks the stock has potential for high price swings in either direction. On the other hand, the low implied volatility suggests that Walmart stock will not fluctuate a lot when Walmart's options are near their expiration.
This module is based on analyzing investor sentiment around taking a position in Walmart. This speculative approach is based exclusively on the idea that markets are driven by emotions such as investor fear and greed. The fear of missing out, i.e., FOMO, can cause potential investors in Walmart to buy its stock at a price that has no basis in reality. In that case, they are not buying Walmart because the equity is a good investment, but because they need to do something to avoid the feeling of missing out. On the other hand, investors will often sell stocks at prices well below their value during bear markets because they need to stop feeling the pain of losing money.

Walmart after-hype prediction price

    
  USD 60.21  
There is no one specific way to measure market sentiment using hype analysis or a similar predictive technique. This prediction method should be used in combination with more fundamental and traditional techniques such as stock price forecasting, technical analysis, analysts consensus, earnings estimates, and various momentum models.

Prediction based on Rule 16 of the current Walmart contract

Based on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that Walmart will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 0.9% per day over the life of the 2024-04-05 option contract. With Walmart trading at USD 60.17, that is roughly USD 0.54 . If you think that the market is fully incorporating Walmart's daily price movement you should consider acquiring Walmart options at the current volatility level of 14.42%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.

Walmart Stock Price Prediction Analysis

Have you ever been surprised when a price of a Company such as Walmart is soaring high without any particular reason? This is usually happening because many institutional investors are aggressively trading Walmart backward and forwards among themselves. Have you ever observed a lot of a particular company's price movement is driven by press releases or news about the company that has nothing to do with actual earnings? Usually, hype to individual companies acts as price momentum. If not enough favorable publicity is forthcoming, the Stock price eventually runs out of speed. So, the rule of thumb here is that as long as this news hype has nothing to do with immediate earnings, you should pay more attention to it. If you see this tendency with Walmart, there might be something going there, and it might present an excellent short sale opportunity.

About Walmart Predictive Indicators

The successful prediction of Walmart stock price could yield a significant profit to investors. But is it possible?

We also calculate exposure to Walmart's market risk, different technical and fundamental indicators, relevant financial multiples and ratios, and then comparing them to Walmart's related companies.

The market value of Walmart is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Walmart that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Walmart's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Walmart's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because Walmart's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Walmart's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Please note, there is a significant difference between Walmart's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Walmart is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Walmart's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
