And Amazon has pretty much 0, and is valued more.
Thats more the market saying that the overhead of having stores, of having staff maintaining them, of maintaining a supply chain to stock them, and all the bureaucracy around that is not worth it. That just having a website and good distribution centers is enough, and Walmart thus has a lot of unnecessary overhead, especially when they have both the stores and their website.
There are still a lot of things Amazon does a poor job supplying, and having to pay $200 a year to get quick shipping is a severe stain on their practical use as a walmart surrogate for many people.
