Walmart hopes the deals will tempt those customers looking to host a Super Bowl 60 party for the clash between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, or at the very least the fan watching alone eating chips out of a replica helmet.
One example is the LG (LPL) 65-inch C5 OLED TV reduced from $2499.99 to a much more affordable – ish $1,396.99. According to Tech Radar, the OLED display delivers an outstanding picture thanks to LG’s Alpha 9 AI processor Gen8, impressive gaming features, and a comprehensive smart platform featuring all-new AI capabilities. Just the ticket for Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes and the other quarterback gurus who missed out on the big game.
The Sonos (SONO) Beam soundbar could be another great addition for fans. It is now $369, down from $499. This will let you hear all those important calls and plays on the field as well as the crunch of another concussion-related injury.
The Super Bowl is also about food, so Walmart has deals on Air Fryers and cookers. Perfect for those long TV advertising breaks which stop the action on the field. Something no Brit watching the game can ever truly understand.
To that end Walmart also has a Super Bowl party supplies kit consisting of dinner plates, forks and ‘Touchdown’ napkins.
Walmart goes the full 10 yards for the Super Bowl, not just because it is fun, but it is a potential money-spinner.
According to 2024 figures from Walmart, 54% of its customers watched the game from home, with 9% attending a party. Nearly 90% of customers bought salty snacks for the game, 69% bought meat and 7% got some new electronics gadgets.
Intriguingly, a quarter bought cleaning products. Be careful with the sauce near to the new TV….too late!
On TipRanks, WMT has a Strong Buy consensus based on 25 Buy and 1 Hold ratings. Its highest price target is $135. WMT stock’s consensus price target is $126.87, implying a 2.86% upside.
