When Buffet speaks, people listen:
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has sold off $900 million of Walmart stock, choosing to invest billions in airlines instead.
The sale, which leaves Buffett with nearly no shares in Walmart, comes as the US's largest traditional retailer has been rushing to catch up to Amazon and other online competitors.
Amazon's market value is now $356 billion, compared with Walmart's $298 billion. Last year, Buffett acknowledged that traditional brick-and-mortar retailers were struggling in the face of competition from the e-commerce giant.

Really when I think about it more I doubt he even said that, it is most likely some moron writing a click bait headline once they found out he/his company divested from it to pursue other higher return opportunities. After all he did not get rich holding onto to losers in the long run with no upside, I would think if the situation changes and he sees higher growth returning to the sector he will be jumping right back in.
