I also feel that Wal-Mart has begun to reach maturity in its lifecycle, however, I think they will remain a cash-cow for years to come. Their portfolio of products literally satisfies any need for a consumer, and their ability to offer cost saving deals, across their store, will allow them to stay competitive.
If their were a global downturn, it is hard to picture Wal-Mart going under, they would quite possibly flourish if there were a recession. Shoppers, who are pathetically targeted by Monadnock Buy Local, would quickly turn their dollar to the cheap stuff, Wal-Mart. Small business would sink, and Wal-mart would swim.
They are too big to fail at this point, and as society transforms, I believe Wal-Mart will consistently change their strategies to grow their share of the customer wallet.
