> A public company like Walmart, there's some people doing some math here. Translation: "I can't see how this deal makes sense but WalMart is a huge company so it has to make sense even if to me it doesn't". By that logic no big company would ever fail or screw up. Every time there's a huge acquisition there are some people here making this fallacious argument or a variation of it. There are always people "doing some math" inside these companies, that doesn't mean that the success of any given strategy is a given.
