1059 ET - When it comes to tariffs, Walmart appears better off than its competitors, with over two-thirds of what it sells in the U.S. produced domestically, Bank of America analysts say in a research note. The company has a range of other advantages, too, like deep relationships with suppliers, advanced pricing, automation, inventory management capabilities and potential to shift imported first-party inventory to a third-party marketplace structure, the analysts say. Leaning into its early-stage growth drivers -- like a shift to ecommerce profitability, growth in digital advertising, pharmacy delivery and strength in its Sam's Club business, among others - could also help the company offset any potential tariff headwinds, the analysts say.
