- Wednesday, February 13, 9:15 PM Barnes & Noble (BKS) warns it expects FY13 (ends in April) Nook Media revenue to be below prior guidance of $3B. Also, the division's EBITDA loss is now expected to be above FY12 levels - prior guidance was for a comparable loss. Last month, BKS reported a 12.6% Y/Y drop in Nook division sales for the holiday season, and IDC estimated the company's Q4 tablet share fell nearly 60% Y/Y to a mere 1.9%. Shares -4.2% AH. FQ3 results are due on Feb. 28. 2 Comments [Consumer, Earnings, On the Move, Tech]
- Tuesday, February 5, 8:35 AM Investor Daniel Tisch upped his stake in Barnes & Noble (BKS) to 8.14%, according to an amended SEC filing (13G). So far, 2013 has been a slow slog for B&N investors with shares down 12% and unable to gain any traction following the company's holiday sales reports. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, January 31, 1:32 PM Though the iPad Mini launch helped Apple (AAPL) sell 22.9M iPads in calendar Q4, the company's tablet shipment share fell 810 bps Y/Y to 43.6%, per IDC. Samsung (SSNLF.PK), meanwhile, is estimated to have more than doubled its share to 15.1%. Amazon (AMZN), believed to have shipped 6M Kindle Fires, is given an 11.5% share (-440 bps Y/Y). Nexus 7 maker Asus is at 5.8% (+380 bps), and Barnes & Noble (BKS) at just 1.9% (-270 bps). IDC believes total shipments rose 75% Y/Y to 52.5M (equal to 58% of PC shipments), and is forecasting 172.4M for 2013. (previous) 40 Comments [Tech]
- Wednesday, January 30, 10:56 AM If Barnes & Noble (BKS -0.1%) can stay small and local its bookstore business just might have a chance to survive. Despite all the headlines about the death of the physical book industry, The American Booksellers Association reports that it actually grew the numbers of independent bookstores it had as members from 1,524 in 2008 to 1,567 in 2012 with demand reaching a resistance point. The key for B&N is to trim its physical footprint to the point where profitability can be maximized. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, January 28, 10:06 AM Barnes & Noble (BKS -1.3%) trades lower after a plan to reduce a third of its stores over the next ten years is disclosed. Given a backdrop of a print book market which has lost 22% of its sales in five years and B&N's ongoing struggles to generate profits, the move makes sense to analysts. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
- Monday, January 28, 6:24 AM Barnes & Noble (BKS) might close up to a third of all its retail stores over the next decade, according to one of the company's top execs. After peaking at over 700 consumer bookstores in 2008, a measured pace of closings would reduce the number of outlets to a range of 450 to 500 in order to reflect how B&N's business has evolved. 3 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, January 23, 8:37 AM Nook Media (BKS) announces the completion of its strategic investment from Pearson (PSO). Barnes & Noble now owns 78.2% of Nook Media with Microsoft (16.8%) and Pearson (5%) its minority partners. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, January 17, 9:27 AM Barnes & Noble (BKS) offers a special $20 gift card to customers who buy a Nook HD or Nook HD+ between now and Monday using their MasterCard card. Though it's a small and limited offer, the company is on the radar of investors for any signs that unit sales growth is slowing. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, January 7, 1:37 PM A new partnership from upstarts txtr and Readerlink will allow grocery stores and drugstore chains to sell ebooks to customers. The program directly aimed at the dominance of Amazon (AMZN +2.8%) and Barnes & Noble (BKS +0.8%) in the market. The bigger issue: If retailers can bundle more digital and physical offers together on their websites, what's to stop them from turning the tables on the Internet giants a bit? 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Monday, January 7, 8:24 AM Barnes & Noble (BKS) looks like a bargain with its bookstores alone worth close to $10 a share based on a reasonable valuation, according to Barron's. Add in the prospects for the Nook business and the financial backing of heavyweights such as Microsoft and Liberty Media and the dip in holiday sales isn't quite as alarming goes the rationale. BKS +2.7% premarket. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, January 4, 9:25 AM As more obituaries pile up for Barnes & Noble's (BKS) Nook business following a disappointing release on holiday sales numbers, CEO William Lynch promises to examine the "root cause" of the issue. Morningstar analyst Peter Wahlstrom thinks the problem isn't the devices themselves, but notes the company lags in "marketing, awareness and adoption." Either way, B&N is feeling the heat to keep pace with heavyweight rivals in the tablet space. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, January 3, 10:10 AM In spite of this fall's launch of the Nook HD+, Barnes & Noble's (BKS) Nook division sales fell 12.6% Y/Y during the holiday season, the company reports. The decline in Nook hardware appears to be even worse, given digital content sales rose 13.1%. A freefalling e-reader market has to bear some responsibility for the decline, but with the tablet market much healthier, competition from the iPad Mini, the Kindle Paperwhite, and other hardware seems responsible as well. B&N's retail sales fell 10.9%, and saw an 8.2% drop in same-store sales (-3.1% exc. Nook). Comment! [Tech, Consumer]
- Monday, December 31, 2012, 12:32 PM Barnes & Noble (BKS +0.3%) looks a bit more enticing after Pearson follows Microsoft's lead to take a stake in the Nook business. If Microsoft wants to buy the Nook digital business as a whole a premium looks to be in order, while B&N's large retail reach and new capital keeps visions of profitability intact even if a sale doesn't go through. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Friday, December 28, 2012, 9:32 AM Not found in the press release trumpeting the Pearson investment in Nook Media, the related 8-K says Barnes & Noble (BKS) expects holiday sales results will be below expectations and that the Nook business "will not meet the company's prior projection for FY 2013." Shares come off the premarket highs, now +2.5%. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Friday, December 28, 2012, 9:04 AM Barnes & Noble (BKS) +8% premarket after Pearson (PSO) says it will invest $89.5M in Nook Media in exchange for a 5% equity stake. BKS says the strategic investment "will accelerate customer access to digital content by pairing [Pearson's] leading expertise in online learning with Nook Media's expertise in online distribution." Following the transaction, BKS will own 78.2% of Nook: Microsoft will own 16.6%. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
- Wednesday, December 26, 2012, 2:20 PM Though many expected e-book prices to plummet after the DOJ coaxed top publishers to allow Amazon (AMZN), Barnes & Noble (BKS), and others to set their own prices, the NYT observes the impact of the DOJ settlement on publishers has thus far been muted. E-book prices haven't fallen "as broadly or drastically as anticipated," and the market's overall growth has slowed down. "At any given time about a third of e-book users haven’t bought a single title in the last 12 months," says industry analyst Michael Norris. 4 Comments [Consumer, Tech]
