- Friday, April 12, 8:47 AM The March report on retail sales indicates a measurable impact was felt by retailers from the round of cooler weather seen in the U.S. during the month right along with broader macroeconomic factors. Department store (KSS, JWN, DDS, SKS, SHLD) and home garden (HD, LOW) sales tipped to the weaker side while online sales showed some strength. 3 Comments [Consumer, U.S. Economy]
- Friday, April 12, 7:07 AM HD Supply files for a $1B IPO. The distributor is a former division of Home Depot (HD) and reports sales of over $8B during its last fiscal year which ended on February 3. The company says it plans to use the proceeds to retire debt and for general corporate purposes. (S-1) Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, April 11, 10:14 AM Retail watch: Due to the timing of Easter and a slow start to the spring selling season a two-month snapshot of sales covering March and April is appropriate before drawing major conclusions, according to analysts. Retailers looking for a March surge in home and garden (HD, LOW, TGT, WMT) spending and spring clothing purchases expect April to make up some of the slack. Of the 14 retailers reporting March numbers today, comparable-store sales averaged a 0.6% gain with Costco (COST) and Ross Stores (ROST) standing out as outperformers. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, April 10, 12:53 PM U.S. companies paid out an additional $14.5B in dividends on common stock in Q1 as more companies increased their payouts, S&P Dow Jones Indices reports, even as payout rates remain at a historically low 36%. The quarter saw 944 dividend increases, a 39.4% gain Y/Y. By percentage, some of the biggest dividend hikes came from F, WYNN, QCOM, HAL and HD. Comment! [U.S. Economy]
- Friday, April 5, 10:31 AM Sports Chalet is the latest retailer to jump into offering same-day delivery services, saying it will test a program to both sell and rent items from stores in the West. Though the same-day delivery concept is getting plenty crowded with ideas ranging from the use of lockers (AMZN), in-store pickup (ODP, HD), valets (EBAY), and even in the case of Wal-Mart (WMT) a potential trust-your-neighbor delivery service - widespread adoption still appears far away to retail analysts. What to watch: To protect margins, retailers are expected to slip in some fees on same-day delivery. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, April 4, 11:31 AM We're running out of stock. Corporate share buyback authorizations of $208B in Q1 are the strongest (as a % of capitalization) since Birinyi Associates began tracking the data in 1985. As a percent of capitalization, HD, UPS, AXP, and TXN - with authorizations of 13-18% of the float - lead the way. Next after AMEX in the recently green-lighted banks is BAC which plans to repurchase 3.8% of its shares. 7 Comments
- Tuesday, April 2, 2:44 PM Home Depot (HD +1.7%) indicates in a SEC filing that it will float new bond issues in order to pay for general corporate purposes and potentially buy back more shares. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Wednesday, March 20, 3:02 PM Heard during Home Depot's (HD +0.4%) presentation at the ISI Retail Summit: 1) The company says it has reached a point of saturation in the U.S. and the focus will be on productivity. 2) Sales per square foot is a metric which can be improved as efficiencies pick up. 3) 2013 corporate targets include 9 new store openings in North America, 2% sales growth, and a 3% gain in comparable-store sales. 4) No plans to bring back the Expo concept as online channels look more promising. (webcast) 5 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, March 19, 2:19 PM A little breathing room for home owners on the equity they hold in their houses is helping motivate them to jump into more serious home improvement projects, according to an academic study. Spending could climb 20% this year (Sept. to Sept.) despite credit conditions which are still tight. Home Depot (HD -0.8%) and Lowe's (LOW -1.3%) would be pleased to see more kitchen remodels and wine cellars than simple paint jobs and tiling. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Wednesday, March 13, 12:39 PM The Forensic Accounting ETF (FLAG) rolls out new names given "A" and "F" ratings after a check of the books. Those getting top scores are LMT, ANF, and BRCM, while those failing are HD, F, COL, and TRIP. "Home Depot's revenue increase of 6% doesn't justify the stock's 23+ P/E ratio ... Ford has high and increasing cost of goods sold putting pressure on margins." 5 Comments
- Wednesday, March 13, 8:44 AM More on Retail Sales: Two months into the year and retail categories look reasonably strong compared to estimates with the exception of electronics (BBY, RSH, CONN) and department stores (JWN, M, DDS, SHLD, KSS) which are running below last year's pace of sales. Improved results in the automobile and sporting goods categories (guns) were no surprise, but building material & garden (HD, LOW) looks slightly better than anticipated, according to analysts. Comment! [U.S. Economy, Consumer]
- Tuesday, March 5, 5:24 AM HD Supply is reportedly preparing to carry out an IPO six years after it was bought for $8.5B by three private-equity firms, including Carlyle (CG), from Home Depot (HD), which retained a 12.5% stake. HD Supply is a major distributor of construction, industrial and maintenance supplies, generating nine-month sales of $6B. Comment! [Top Stories]
- Tuesday, February 26, 7:11 AM The quick analyst reaction to Home Depot's (HD) Q4 report (I, II) is largely positive as the 7% rise in comparable store sales smashes what its rival Lowe's recorded for the period. The company continues to keep expenses under control and is churning up enough cash to launch an even more aggressive capital allocation plan without batting an eye. Though the outlook for 2013 looks soft, the retailer could be falling into a familiar pattern of low-balling its guidance. Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, February 26, 6:47 AM More on Home Depot's (HD) Q4: The retailer grew sales faster than operating expenses rose as a a continued recovery in the housing market along with a benefit from repair sales tied to Hurricane Sandy contributed. Comparable store sales were up a brisk 7% for the period. For 2013, the company sees total sales growth of 2% and EPS of $3.37. Capital spending of $1.5B is forecast. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Consumer]
- Tuesday, February 26, 6:21 AM The Home Depot, Inc. (HD) declares $0.39/share quarterly dividend, 34% increase from prior dividend of $0.29. Forward yield 2.44%. For shareholders of record Mar. 14. Payable Mar. 28. Ex-div date Mar. 12. The board authorized share repurchase program of $17.0B cancelling the previous authorization. (PR) 2 Comments [Dividends]
- Tuesday, February 26, 6:02 AM Home Depot (HD): Q4 EPS of $0.68 beats by $0.04. Revenue of $18.2B (+13.9% Y/Y) beats by $0.54B. (PR) 1 Comment [Earnings, Breaking News]
