There’s something different about Walmart Inc. (NASDAQ: WMT) this holiday season, and it has nothing to do with the health of the consumer. On Dec. 9, the company began publicly trading on the NASDAQ exchange. But what does this mean for an investor?
At a surface level, nothing’s changed. WMT stock is up slightly since the announcement, but that’s part of a trend that’s been in place for five years, and in fairness, you could go back 10 years or more. In fact, since it first began trading on the NYSE, the stock climbed over 536,000%.
