RBC Capital analyst Scot Ciccarelli raised his price target on Walmart to $102 after its reported comps of 4.5% marked the biggest increase in 10 years. The analyst notes that while margins are declining from investments in pricing, labor, and technology - costs that will not go away soon - the spending can produce higher leverage. Ciccarelli keeps his Sector Perform rating on Walmart, saying the valuation multiple of 20-times expected EBIT seems expensive, but would look for an opportunity to become more constructive based on the company's improvements.
