Walmart's Brilliant Beef Move Could Make the Stock Sizzle
At first blush, it might look like a throwaway announcement on a slow news day.
In reality, though, there's more to last week's announcement that Walmart (NYSE: WMT) is making an equity investment in a Nebraska beef processor owned by a consortium of cattle farmers. The move is just one of many measures the world's biggest retailer is taking to ensure it has an adequate supply of the right goods to sell to consumers.
And for investors, this distinguishing factor gives Walmart a serious edge on its competitors.
