The Investment Case

At MXN 46.81 WALMEX trades at 15.6x 2026E earnings and 8.3x trailing EV/EBITDA against a Mexican-peer median of 13.59x and 5.46x, rebuilt from the peers' own filings after two vendor prints failed to reconcile.

The Mexico comp is now entirely ticket: transactions fell 1.1% in 2Q26 for a sixth consecutive quarter, while the operating-expense ratio has deleveraged four years running and the four-step statutory working-week cut lands from January 2027.

The second edition states its revision plainly and decomposes it, prints both cost-of-equity constructions, and shows the call survives a cardinal test across the beta and risk-free bands and with the discounted cash flow deleted entirely.
