Defensive Stock

I see wal-mart as a defensive stock because it will still make money regardless of how the economy is doing. It has a negative beta which means it moves the opposite way than the market does, which is great if the US goes into a recession.

That being said, I do not see wal-mart as a growth or value stock since it is fairly valued and its growth is slowing down.

Any thoughts?
