WMT - Walmart Stores, Inc. Stock Performance

All calculations assume all dividends are reinvested to purchase additional shares. Taxes and commissions are not factored into calculations. Data is property of 1stock1 and written permission must be granted before redistributing any data (in part or in whole).

Walmart has had amazing returns over the past 35 years. During this time frame the stock has split 9 times compounding the number of shares over and over. Even more incredible, you would be earning well over $500,000 in dividends alone in 2011 from a $5,000 investment at the beginning of 1975. Along with most of the market in recent years, Walmart's stock performance has slowed, but the big retailer has fared much better than most stocks as consumers have become more focused on bargains and value.
