On a year-to-date basis, both have similar returns. Although, on all longer timeframes, DOL has outperformed WMT. Over the past 10 years, WMT has a 14% total return CAGR, whereas DOL has a staggering 24% total return CAGR.
WMT is a strong brand name, but its more diverse set of retail options exposes it to downside potential in the event that any one of its sales segments declines, whereas, DOL is fairly streamlined in the products it sells, and we view it as slightly more 'recession-proof'. In times of need, individuals will likely be making more purchases at DOL rather than WMT.
WMT is significantly larger than DOL ($605B market cap vs. DOL at $28B), but we view DOL's business model as being highly robust and both its growth metrics and profitability metrics outweigh WMT.
Overall, we would prefer DOL today.
