As President Trump's tariffs threaten to push grocery prices higher, investors are weighing the merits of Walmart and Costco as defensive plays. The Tax Foundation estimates nearly 75% of U.S. food imports will be affected, creating tailwinds for discount retailers.

Walmart's $778 billion market cap and global footprint of 10,000+ stores contrast with Costco's membership-driven model—900 warehouses serving 79.6 million households. Both benefit from supply chain leverage, but their investment theses diverge: Walmart dominates through scale, while Costco thrives on membership loyalty and premium bulk offerings.
