- Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 6:05 AM Home Depot (HD): Q3 EPS of $0.74 beats by $0.04. Revenue of $18.1B (+4.6% Y/Y) beats by $150M. (PR) 1 Comment [Earnings]

- Monday, November 12, 2012, 1:50 PM Is the market underestimating the boost in sales Lowe's (LOW +2.1%) and Home Depot (HD +0.3%) will see in Q4 as consumers opt to buy more durables instead of discretionary retail purchases with the sweeping impact of Hurricane Sandy changing some buying behavior? Though both stocks trade near 52-week highs, a number of analysts like the home improvement companies as a better play than the hyper-competitive smorgasbord of retails stocks trying to gain an edge over each other in the holiday season price-slashing wars. Comment! [Consumer, Quick Ideas]
- Sunday, November 11, 2012, 2:05 AM A New York judge gave preliminary approval on Friday to Visa's (V) and MasterCard's (MA) proposed $7.25B settlement with retailers over the fixing of swipe fees on credit cards. The authorization came despite the opposition of trade groups and about 1,200 retailers, including Target (TGT), Wal-Mart (WMT), Home Depot (HD) and Saks (SKS). The deal still needs final approval. 3 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, November 5, 2012, 12:59 PM Home Depot (HD +0.6%) becomes one of the first retailers to add contextual relevance and functional utility to a broad mobile advertising campaign in an effort to drive its store traffic higher. Instead of just splashing display ads in apps, the company will use location services and click to call functions in the hopes of stoking mobile engagement. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, November 2, 2012, 7:56 AM The recent mix of economic news and retail sales reports sets the table for a holiday retail season that will come in better than original forecasts, according to IHS Global Insight. What to watch: While Hurricane Sandy is only an "interruption" to retailers on a strong growth track and an "excuse" for underperformers, two potential drags on Q4 retail sales could be a fiscal cliff that doesn't get resolved or a national election that is in dispute. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Thursday, November 1, 2012, 2:59 PM BofA's 14 stocks set to surge after Sandy: road and rail firms SWFT, KNX, JBHT, UNP and KSU on demand to transport raw materials; lumber stocks WY and LPX; YUM since restaurants "tend to open faster than consumers regain power"; energy firms VLO and HES unaffected by Sandy; NUE on steel demand; retailers HD and LOW; smart grid software maker ITRI. 1 Comment [Quick Ideas]
- Wednesday, October 31, 2012, 6:57 AM Home Depot (HD) moves up 3.6% in premarket action with the company reporting a huge amount of products have been moved to East Coast stores in response to storm-related demand. Though Jim Cramer sees a trap for buyers with most of the extra home Depot sales already priced in, other traders see value as a bigger impact is in store for the retailer as the storm cleanup exceeds most expectations. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Tuesday, October 30, 2012, 10:02 AM Forecasts on the effect of Hurricane Sandy on retail sales still vary greatly, although the general consensus is that a short-term boost of emergency items will lift sales for select companies while the prolonged cleanup could dampen overall holiday sales. Analysts see the list of losers much longer than the list of winners as home repairs take up a great deal of discretionary spending. In a nutshell: Every retailer has a different Sandy-related thesis, with product and geographic mix essential to estimating Q4 numbers. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, October 30, 2012, 7:55 AM Home Depot (HD) plans to reopen the stores it closed on the East Coast due to Hurricane Sandy as quickly as possible to meet the expected onslaught of customers needing materials. The company reports water, extension cords, and utility pumps sold well in front of the storm's advance and has set up a command post in Atlanta to oversee distribution of products to stores. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, October 29, 2012, 7:57 AM Effect on retail sales from Hurricane Sandy: 1) For supermarket companies and home improvement stores, analysis is clouded by a comparable from last year that includes big sales in front of an East Coast storm. 2) Though analysts see an extra boost at places where consumers prep for the storm, they warn many of these stores will run out of inventory quickly or simply pull sales from November. 3) According to Citi's Oliver Chen, mall-based retailers - including American Eagle Outfitters (AEO), Limited Brands (LTD), and Urban Outfitters (URBN) - could be the hardest hit. 4) Operators such as Domino's (DPZ) and Papa John's (PZZA) are tipped to see a sustained boost in demand. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Sunday, October 28, 2012, 2:38 AM Hurricane Sandy is projected to make landfall by Tuesday morning, after which it could combine with two winter weather systems and create a super "Frankenstorm." Experts warn that the damage could be greater than the $15B worth caused by Hurricane Irene last year. Hardware stores such as Home Depot (HD) are doing a brisk trade as people stock up on essentials, but oil refineries and insurers will probably get hit hard. 3 Comments [U.S. Economy, Top Stories, Energy]
- Friday, October 26, 2012, 3:14 PM Though some traders like to trumpet Home Depot (HD -0.7%) and Lowe's (LOW -1.2%) as good buys in front of a slow-moving hurricane (NHC track map) heading toward large metropolitan areas, the trading record of the pair in the past doesn't quite support the thesis. What looks more interesting: According to the National Association of Home Builders, home remodeling climbed to 50 in Q3, up 11% Q/Q, to hit its highest level since 2005. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, October 26, 2012, 11:10 AM Though consumer sentiment rose to its highest level in five years, don't look for retailers to start adjusting guidance anytime soon. In an interview with CNBC yesterday, AutoNation CEO Mike Jackson gave a somewhat frank assessment of how many execs are looking toward Q4 by noting the fiscal cliff could create a standstill to spending over the last ten days of the year as the automatic cuts slated for January 1 loom larger. Even if a late deal is struck, Q4 sales could take a blow. (video) 7 Comments [Consumer, U.S. Economy]
- Monday, October 22, 2012, 1:14 PM Retailers want to edge into the holiday shopping season as early as possible this year with most forecasts calling for steady - but not spectacular - spending numbers. Trends to watch: 1) Increased online couponing and promotional activity from fringe players. 2) Managing inventory should be easier with the season starting early and big data initiatives firing up which could help margins. 3) The calendar comes through for retailers with a lush 32-day window between Thanksgiving and Christmas extending the crucial part of the season. 2 Comments [Consumer]
