Thursday, June 6, 10:30 AM Ascena Retail Group (ASNA -10.3%) slides after its Q3 results miss on both the top and bottom line. From the report: Comps growth comes in negative (-1%) and would have been worse (-4%) were it not for a 37% Y/Y increase in e-commerce sales. CEO David Jaffe attributes "soft" top line performance to the usual suspects: unseasonably cold weather and "economic challenges."

Analysts think the sector will rethink supply chain decisions with a heightened focus on safety. 1 Comment [Consumer, Global & FX]

Tuesday, March 5, 8:29 AM Retail winners today include Ascena Retail Group (ASNA) and American Apparel (APP), both up double-digits after reporting solid earnings. Both companies blasted past the estimates of analysts as sales were boosted by a strong online business. It continues a trend of smaller retail chains chipping away at department stores online, highlighted dramatically by J.C. Penney's (JCP) online meltdown (-34.4% Q4, -37% Q3) and to a much lesser extent by growth rates at Dillard's (DDS), Kohl's (KSS), Sears (SHLD), Saks (SKS), and Nordstrom (JWN). 2 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
