A Strong Case for Buying Wal-Mart

As America undergoes a major retail shakeup, the winners will be the companies that can give companies what they want, when they want it, however they want it delivered.

Doing that requires scale and vision. Being big helps, but transforming into a true omnichannel model involves more than just size. A retailer has to have not only a large physical presence, but also the ability to leverage that presence to make individual deliveries.

Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) has all of that. The chain isn't there yet, at least not completely, but it has a blueprint that rivals Target (NYSE: TGT) and even Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) plan to follow.
