It would also give Walmart access to the breadth of customer data collected by Vizio’s smart TV platform and the revenue stream created by serving up personalized ads and taking a cut of subscription fees.

This is an interesting angle considering Walmart wants to (and probably already does) make a meaningful amount of revenue from selling ads, like Amazon.

I guess the numbers kind of work, $80m a quarter profit is $320m a year, which is roughly commensurate with the rumored purchase price.
