Walmart (NASDAQ: WMT) is a solid stock to invest in, as its business is diverse and robust. The company is able to generate steady growth, regardless of economic conditions, as its big-box stores offer something for everyone. In the past five years, shares of Walmart have risen by around 190%.

However, amid those impressive gains, its stock has reached elevated levels . Buying a stock that trades at a high premium comes with risk, regardless of how good the business may appear to be. And so while Walmart may be a quality long-term stock to own, there's one stock that may be an even better buy right now, and that's Ross Stores (NASDAQ: ROST) .
