Tuesday, June 18, 6:51 AM Fifth & Pacific (FNP) says a court in New York ruled in its favor in a trademark case involving its Kate Spade brand. The decision will allow the Kate Spade Saturday brand name to survive in the market in its current form. Comment! [Consumer]
Wednesday, June 5, 5:33 PM "Shoppable windows" are eBay's (EBAY -2.3%) latest idea for expanding into the bricks-and-mortar realm: the e-commerce giant is setting up four 9' x 2' touchscreens in busy parts of NYC that will allow customers to order items from retail partners, and have them delivered within an hour via couriers (who use PayPal Here to accept payments). Fifth & Pacific (FNP) is the first retailer to sign up; the company sees it as a way to offer more inventory than can be shown off in stores. eBay is already testing a home pickup service, developing apps for physical retailers, and hatching plans for a large-scale same-day delivery network. Comment! [Tech, Consumer]
Friday, May 10, 12:32 PM A number of retailers are seeing some speculative buying after True Religion TRLG lands a takeover offer and Gap puts in a powerhouse month for sales to help lift sentiment. The S&P Retail ETF (XRT) is up 1.1%, but might be doing better on the day if not for its heavy weighting currently into drugstore and grocery stocks. Gainers: FNP +4.1%, JOEZ +2.3%, VFC +1.5%, JNY +1.9%, GES +2.1%, APP +2.2%, BKE +1.5%. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]

Friday, April 12, 5:07 PM Fifth & Pacific's (FNP +1.5%) Lucky Brand and Juicy Couture labels are attracting interest from P-E firms and strategic buyers including VF Corp. (VFC), Bloomberg reports.
