"Got Walmart today, right? So that's been in the news because of a CEO change. So Walmart ticker WMT, those shares down just a little bit today. So two down two ten of 1%. So pairing some of its earlier declines and probably just investors trying to make sense of what the CO handoff means, right? So, I think the question really for investors is, is Ferner going to be able to build on that success and maybe even extend it, evolve it, right?"

Walmart is under scrutiny as it transitions to a new CEO with John Ferner set to replace retiring Doug McMillan in February. The commentary questions whether Ferner can build on the success of transforming Walmart into a digital powerhouse, as recent share declines leave investors assessing the company's near-term outlook.
