One thing about Walmart that most people don't understand is that planned cannibalization (opening new Walmarts that compete with old Walmarts) depresses comparable store levels by about 400 basis points. This is something that no other retailer experiences at this level. For Walmart, the best indicator is total sales growth. That is running 10%+ and means somewhere between $15 to $20 billion in annual incremental sales. That's like adding a company the size of JC Penneys every single year.
