Wal-Mart is the largest retailer in the world, with approximately 5,000 stores around the globe. Despite its size, the company has still managed to grow at over 10% a year for the last five years. Wal-Mart still has considerable room to grow, particularly in international markets. In the past two years, international sales provided 27% of Wal-Mart's overall revenue growth, but they are still only 20% of total revenue. Historically, WMT was expensive. However, the stock is trading at the lowest Price/Earnings and Price/Sales multiples in 20 years. In addition to the attractive valuation, the company is steadily increasing its dividend and buying back stock.
