Companies like Amazon and Apple are like hippies explaining why commune's are the new utopia of the future. Walmart is like Nazi's forcing commune's to operate on behalf of the state.
Walmart puts more time in making smart decisions in order to make money and control cost than most other companies do. They are exceptional at hiring the right people to make decisions. If money can be made in a market Walmart will beat you. If Walmart decides to heavily compete with Amazon they will crush them. If they don't it is because Walmart knows there is no money to be made there.
There are even smarter companies than Walmart. Autozone, 7-Eleven and SpaceX are even better at Walmart than Walmart is. Ironically low margin companies don't get the credit they deserve. It is not entirely unheard of for small profit companies to be the best engineered out and work the smartest for the small revenue they get.
Walmart just does the same thing but only in a large profit margin area.
That is why fat margin tech companies like Google, Apple and Amazon are really not run that well. They make money anyway. Walmart is the only fat margin company I know of that runs itself like they make no money at all.
Just look at the following list.

Most companies that make these kinds of list are because there stock prices have grown. That doesn't mean you are well run at all. The best run companies are never the ones with the most stock growth.
