Wal-Mart's (WMT) slogans are "Save Money. Live Better," and "Every Day Low Prices." They represent what Wal-Mart is about: reducing expenses to offer customers the lowest price possible. As Wal-Mart grows, its size gives it leverage over smaller suppliers, allowing the company to cut prices further. Wal-Mart has become the largest retailer in the world because of its dogged focus on cost. Wal-Mart has 10,700 retail units in 27 countries with 245 million customers served weekly.
Wal-Mart is a strong global business. Its focus on cost reduction has made the company the largest retailer in the world. Wal-Mart faces short-term weakness from reductions in government aid, rising labor costs and inventory control issues. Wal-Mart shareholders will be rewarded in the future through dividends and share repurchases.
