Wal-Mart -- Always Low Prices


Wal-Mart Expects December Sales to Rise This Year

12/26/2005

Wal-Mart Inc. expects December 2005 same store sales to rise 2% to 4%. Only stores which have been opened for at least a year are included in the forecast. In November, Wal-Mart's sales increased 4.3%. December's sales figures will be released on January 5.

Despite the fact that we are now past the retail Christmas shopping spree, December's sales figures are far from being final. Sales during this last week of December accounted for 10% of December retail sales last year according to ShopperTrak RCT Corp. However, many retail analysts expect that number to rise to 14% this year. One reason is gift card sales are not counted as revenue until the gift card is redeemed. Sales of gift cards were up this year.

Wal-Mart is part of our High-Dividend Blue Chip Portfolio that has produced an average return of17.40%per year. Wal-Mart was added to the portfolio in October and has already produced a return of 9.49%.
