- Monday, May 13, 3:59 PM The rest of the top 25 heavily shorted S&P 1500 stocks: ESI, GTAT, DGIT, LQDT, WRLD, JCP, GME, FRAN, SVU, ONE, AKS, CRR, EBIX, DDD, SPF, DMND, DECK, BKS, COCO, X. 7 Comments
- Wednesday, April 24, 5:46 PM S&P announces some changes to its index lineup today: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN) will join the S&P 500, replacing MetroPCS (PCS) which is being acquired by T-Mobile USA. S&P SmallCap 600 constituent Eagle Materials (EXP) will replace REGN in the S&P MidCap 400, and Francesca's Holdings (FRAN) will replace Eagle Materials in the S&P SmallCap 600 after the close of trading on Tuesday, April 30. 1 Comment [Healthcare, Tech, Commodities, Consumer]
- Friday, April 12, 11:47 AM Retailers start to feverishly launch and promote their spring lines after the weather in March gave them a very small window to work with. Though retail sales came in decidedly sluggish last month, on-trend firms such as Zumiez (ZUMZ -0.6%) and Limited Brands (LTD +0.8%) bucked the trend neatly. Watch Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF -2.1%), Francesca's Holdings (FRAN +1%), and Urban Outfitters (URBN -0.6%) in April tips Janney Capital Markets. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Wednesday, March 27, 8:30 AM Francesca's (FRAN) announces a secondary offering of 7.394M shares from selling stockholders. FRAN -5.5% premarket. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Tuesday, March 26, 11:56 AM A weaker-than-anticipated reading on national chain store sales for the first three weeks of the month is enough to rattle the shares of a number of mall-based retailers. Though retail execs are pointing to the weather, trend-watchers are seeing a different story (chart). Decliners: ZUMZ -3.5%, AEO -2.5%, GPS -2.8%, LTD -1.5%, CHS -2.8%, ANN -2.3%, FRAN -2.5%. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Wednesday, March 20, 2:34 PM An aggressive plan by Francesca's (FRAN +6.2%) to add another 80 stores isn't getting frowned on by investors. Sitting as a bit of a hidden retail growth story, the company will soar past the 400-store count this year after only having 78 in 2007. What to watch: Something looks like it's about to give with Wall Street gushing about the retailer's strong same-store sales but short interest on FRAN marching higher. 2 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]

Losers: NTE -11%. CRUS -6%. Comment! [On the Move] - Monday, January 14, 8:33 AM What to make of Francesca's (FRAN)? In the middle of a sluggish retail holiday season, the boutique firm rode a "shallow merchandising" strategy and fresh e-commerce initiatives to strong results. Look for more from the retailer on its winning mix of growing sales while holding the line on margins as it presents this week at an investor conference. FRAN +9.5% premarket. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Monday, January 14, 7:10 AM Francesca's (FRAN) raises its guidance for Q4 after the retailer saw comparable boutique sales rise in the 7%-8% range during the holiday selling season.
