1. Nasdaq website has assembled recommendations from 29 analystes on 12 months price forecast:
   1. Median target = $105.00,
   2. High estimate = $120.00 and
   3. Low estimate = $ 94.00.
   4. The median estimate is 8% more than current price of $ 96.94.
2. Let's look at 52 weeks Hi and Low for Walmart:
   1. 52 week hi = $109.98
   2. 52 weeks low = $ 81.78
   3. Current stock price = $ 96.94

Thus stock appears to be marginally undervalued.

Do you agree with them? Would you consider purchasing this stock? Why?

These are the analysts of national and international repute. I have no specific reason to disagree with them,

I will adopt a wait and watch policy on this stock. There is a limited upside potential in the stock. The stock is marginally undervalued. Hence, i will not buy but track the stock to keep a check on its performance.
