Walmart (WMT) shares gained traction as reports revealed an influx of high-income shoppers hunting for bargains. Consumer Edge's Michael Gunther noted a trend of affluent consumers trading down to discount retailers like Walmart, Dollar General (DG), and Dollar Tree (DLTR). "They're drawn to the thrill of the hunt," Gunther remarked, attributing the shift to economic caution despite stronger asset positions.
The phenomenon underscores a broader behavioral pivot—even those insulated by rising property and equity values are tightening discretionary spending. Retailers benefiting from this trend have seen sustained outperformance year-to-date, with Walmart emerging as a clear winner in the discount space.
