Also because Walmart can sell everything people aregenerally looking for which is foods, clothes, electronics devices, etc at an affordable price, the marketing strategy comes rather easy. 13.

Profits The rankings on the Fortune 500 list are generatedbased on the total revenues during a specified fiscal year. The profits are also based on profit after taxes. Profits from companies such as real estate trusts,partnerships, and cooperatives cannot be compared to many companies because they are taxed at a completely different rate. 19. Profits From the points stated in the previous slide, the highnumbers on the financial statements supports WalMarts powerful stance at the top of this Fortune 500 list. In the Five-Year Financial Summary section of the 2013Annual Report, Wal-Mart declares total revenues to be $469,162 million. This includes net sales of $466,114 million and membership and other income of $3,048 million. This shows why Walmart is always growing. 20. Walmart . Wal-Mart is made up of three different segments:Wal-Mart U.S., Wal-Mart International, and Sams Club. All three segments have increased from the 2012fiscal year to the 2013 fiscal year. The following information represents Wal-Mart as one business unit. Walmarts profit for the 2013 fiscal year was around$16,999 million. 21. Walmart Walmart has increased its annual cash dividendevery year since first declaring a $0.05 per share annual dividend in March 1974. It is around $1.59 per common share as declared in2013. This also shows how Walmart has grown over theyears. 22. Walmart During the 2012 fiscal year, dividends were declaredat 1.46 per common share. In 2011 dividends were declared at 1.21, in 2010 dividends were declared at 1.09, and in 2009 dividends were declared at 0.95. There has been a steady increase in dividendsdeclared from 2009 to 2013. This also shows that it is very likely that the year2014 will also have an increase in dividends. 23. Walmart Despite a minor setback in the 2012 fiscal year,profits have continued to increase. Walmart actually dropped to number two on the Fortune 500 companies list. Walmart has grown again and has been able toregain its number one spot back. They did so by not trying to steer away from theireveryday low prices, which is what happened in 2012. 24. Walmart Net income is higher then it has been in the last fiveyears. Wal-Mart has increased its total revenue from$408,085 million in 2010 to $421,849 million in 2011. Wal-Marts total revenue jumped from $446,950 million in 2012 to $469,162 million in 2013. 25. Walmart Wal-Mart has continued to increase its revenues andkeep expenses below the revenue received. After analyzing this data, it can be assumed thatfuture profit for the next fiscal year will increase as well. Walmart is not about to drop to second again anytime soon. 26. Walmart Walmart was just an idea until 1962 and since then,it has become the second worlds largest public corporation. It also is the biggest private employer in the worldwith over 2.2 million employees and the largest retailer in the world. And in bad times such as these this means a lot. 27. Walmart Wal-Mart specializes on distributing consumer goods ata lower price. The company sells basically everything through theirsupermarkets, supercenters and warehouse club. The company is still privately owned since the Waltonsown over 50% of the company. Wal-Mart is present in more than 15 countries and is acompany that is always looking to expand into more markets. 28. Walmart With its many subsidiaries, it is always willing toexpand. Asda its their subsidiary in the United Kingdom,Walmex its their subsidiary in Mexico, Seiyu Group its their subsidiary in Japan and Sams Club its their chain of warehouse clubs. All have everyday low prices. 29. Pros and Cons Investing in a Fortune 500 company might notalways be smart, but for Walmart it is. Walmart has shown that it is growing and hascontinued to grown even through these tough times. Walmart has a lot of promise in maintaining itsnumber one spot on the fortune 500 companies list because of its growth yearly. 30. Pros and Cons Walmart is not done expanding and even though youmight not see a lot of growth right after investing I think that over the years you will be seeing a lot of growth. Its only main con is that it needs to not lose track ofwho they are and not lose customers by jacking up the prices of their products. Walmart should be a great investment over time. 31. Problems? Financially they dont have any big problems exceptfor the fact that it did not grow in profit after the 2012 fiscal year but since then it has grown even more. Labor problems dont really exist because it has moreemployees than any other company in the entire world. 32. Problems? Walmart does not have any image problems which isa great reason why it has continued to grow so much from when it started. This may have a lot to do with that it is still privatelyand family owned. It does have many other owners but the majority of it, still above 50% is family owned. 33. Problems? Supply and Demand problems Walmart does notseem to have either. It has continued to be one of the greatest suppliers ofgoods, whether it be in its many stores or warehouses. It has also continued to keep its everyday low priceswhich is also a good sign that it has no problems in its supply and demand. 34. Problems? Walmart and political problems have transpired overtime this is due to criticism it receives for every little wrong thing it may do. These problems have gone away mostly and havegotten a lot better now that Walmart also donates a lot of things to less fortunate people and organizations. 35. Investing After all is said and done I think it is a smart ideathat this group does invest in Walmart. Walmart has been one of the most importantcompanies in the world and has been a huge reason we are doing a little bit better in this recession. 36. Walmart Wal-Mart is known all over the world for havinglower prices than all their competitors and their main focus is too help their customers save money on every purchase they make. This philosophy has allowed Wal-Mart to have morethan 200 million customers worldwide and it is why they keep growing every year regardless of the economic situation. These reasons make it all a good investment.
