Walmart is one stock that can potentially outperform if the US economy takes a downturn. Many analysts consider Walmart a good stock to own through a recession since its discounted stock can be in even greater demand during a recession when consumers have less disposable income.
Is Walmart a good stock to consider buying on any increasing US recessionary fears?
