clearly walmart is not on the sales in the china side walmart is doing the best because they have been willing to stay open and provide services to everybody that needs it so you've got to give them credit they looked at all this and said we've got it figured out they have already started prebuying stuff they need from china. they have done that already. >> talk about home depot as first open post hurricane this is like that on steroids. >> walmart does that everywhere, not just coronavirus they do it here when there's an issue. >> real quick, you put out a money note quantifying exposure retailers have to china. name some names. who is the most exposed from a supply and demand side and have we seen it in the stock? >> if you're looking at it on the supply side, people like wayfair have a big i believe if you're looking from the demand side, selling into china, the people hit the hardest is the high end so if you're high luxury retailers that's a big problem because it's affecting all of asia not just china. greater china and asia those are issues, too. in general you can look at every

let's turn to walmart. shares are gaining ground after the big outs retailer posted lackluster holiday sales, suffering the same fate as a rival's target and five below. investors remain confident in walmart forecast. how long will optimism last? let's bring in that boil. it seems they had a resilient outlook but weakness during the holidays. what happened? >> as whip target we saw a week holiday from walmart, some issues were their own fault. they admitted they carried the wrong mix of merchandise and apparel, too much holiday stuff. too much red and green in the aisles. others they were planning on the markets, like toys and electronics, said there was not a must-have product that really got people out there shopping. so a mix of issues. because they echoed some of what target had to say, i'm curious whether any of that is lasting. we are seeing some willingness to look past the numbers and into the future, analysts say they are in pretty good shape, but that softness we are seeing in these retailers, doe

business. >> walmart in china, i don't know that's probably kind of -- but how much actually of walmart's products are touched in some way, shape or form by what happens in china what percentage would you say? >> there's large portions of particular product lines so a lot of the apparel is it's a big piece of business don't get the wrong idea it's a big margin driver but it isn't a huge volume play and over the last two years walmart and virtually everybody else has found alternate supply lines to deal with what they thought would be, you know, really harmful tariffs and so there's other alternatives i think a lot of the toys that historically come out of china and plastics but toys have been a relatively flat to declining segment anyway so the exposure from china to walmart has been overblown. >> let me ask you a question about the margin so the margins didn't depress as they spend and get online sales. where do you think is a goal margin that they can reach >> what i would be looking for is margin stability. what they're doing and it's a good strategy is transitioning their food busines

welcome, everybody first up, walmart a big story today. a tough fourth quarter the company saw its biggest earnings miss since 2015 remember, this is the holiday period its slowest e-commerce growth sales in two years and investors are slugging it off this afternoon. courtney reagan is fresh off the investor day at the nyse and her interview with the ceo court, what has changed the mood here >> you know what i think it is when you first look at the numbers fourth quarter, they weren't great. but when you dig into the results and listen to the executives, you realize the long-term walmart story is still intact they're investing in digital and trying to get those stores more productive they're making efficiencies out of a lot of things that may look inefficient because that's what walmart does best. they're just a very, very good operator and that digital growth still strong, up 35% for the quarter. they said, look, when you look at the entire year next year, we actually are looking for $50 billion in global net sales for e-commerce that's a

walmart did move on that front. that may be one of the reasons they're not changing their estimates. their last quarter was a function i think of a smaller of number of days that were shopping and by the way warmer weather. they sort of hinted at the fact their apparel business, they hadn't quite figured out what to do with it. they made some mistakes. i think they were ready for a harsh winter which never came. but anyway, all these companies are dealing with a lot of things including the surge in online shopping. but i think walmart looks like they're going to get through this just fine of course. lauren: gary talk about that surge in online shopping because walmart did grow e-commerce by 35%. sounds like a great number. it was actually slower than many folks had wanted. as walmart invests in itself, in its delivery and on-line operations that often eats at its bottom line. do you expect that to get better or walmart to be at least more cost-conscious? >> all i can tell you 35% year-over-year is pretty good. to me

the main competitors are amazon, target, along with walmart. they are all doing everything they can to make the delivery process more cost effective and efficient. romaine: what you mean by technology? >> walmart is testing autonomous cars. the state of arkansas has made self-driving cars legal. it has a pilot there. interest?is walmart's i guess i gave it away, freudian slip. >> there are forward transit vans -- ford transit vans that are self driving. romaine: that still seems a little far off until the point you have mass adoption of it. arkansas is not letting those cars roll around freely. >> no, they have safety drivers in them. romaine: they are paying those drivers. >> technology does not have to look like that. that is quite a revolutionary solution. target bought a company which focuses on making the process easier. romaine: no one is talking about raising the cost of deliveries that someone like me would pay to get it delivered. >> they may have to. it is going to be challenging. bloomberg'snks to sally bakewell. a quick check of the

walmart working with an advisor to explore this possible stake sale. asda was purchased back in 1999, and then aldie turns up in the u.k., but it's a lot harder for the big four retailers in the u.k.. they were pushed by walmart to explore a possible deal with another u.k. dealer called sainsbury. the u.k. regulatory authority says that's not going to happen, competition is not going to be good with this deal, and so they pulled the plug. now it looks like walmart has maybe had enough and is potentially selling a minority stake. vonnie: let's check walmart's shares, they are dropping. the markets more broadly. here's abigail doolittle. on the interesting, wednesday session overall around withlobe, we started off the asian section -- asian sessions being lower in their indexes. the stoxx 600 down once again, it had been flipping higher, down to 6/10 of 1%. all three gains and major averages are up more than 1%. let's put this into the context of the recent selloff. , overallfive day chart volatility with coronavirus fears doing more work on the downside
