Tuesday, May 21, 10:04 AM SA Pro author Money Investor is even more convinced of his short thesis (see comment thread) on hhgregg (HGG -8.5%) after listening to last night's earnings call (transcript). A focus on various non-standard promotions is a tell of a company grasping at ways to drum up business, he says, and flat-negative same-store sales guidance shows management doesn't see things getting better. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
Monday, May 20, 5:46 PM After-hours top gainers, as of 5:15 p.m.: LXP +5.7%. JASO +2.9%. EVF +2.8%. GIS +2.5%. RAD +2.5%.

Monday, May 20, 4:27 PM More on hhgreg (HGG) FQ4 earnings: Comparable store sales off 9.8% Y/Y. FY2014 EPS guidance of $0.75-$0.90, comparable store sales of flat to negative 2.5%, net sales growth of 1-3.5%, 5 new stores to open. CC at 5:30 ET. Shares -8.1% AH. An SA Pro article set to come off embargo at dawn tomorrow says the company's decision to expand rapidly will prove a mistake thanks to cutthroat competition from e-commerce and other bricks-and-mortar stores (Sears, Best Buy) now in survival mode. (PR) Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
Monday, May 20, 4:05 PM hhgregg (HGG): FQ4 EPS of $0.31 beats by $0.01. Revenue of $597.6M misses by $25.M. Shares -3.9% AH. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News, On the Move]

Tuesday, February 19, 1:13 PM Electronics retailers continue to shift store space to refrigerators and furniture as they seek avenues of profitability. Though hhgregg (HGG +4.4%) has made the most dramatic product strategy changes to date, analysts think Best Buy (BBY +3.4%) and RadioShack (RSH +2.8%) won't be too far behind to enter more aggressively into the turf of Sears (SHLD +1.1%) and Home Depot. 3 Comments [Consumer]
Thursday, January 31, 2:28 PM hhgregg (HGG +10.6%) will continue to shift its focus away from electronics and video to home appliances and products as it hopes to bring significant profitability back into the picture. The retailer's turnaround probably won't be the quickest in history. For FY13, it forecasts comparable store sales will fall between 8.5% to 7.5%. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
Thursday, January 31, 7:11 AM HHGregg (HGG): FQ3 EPS of $0.52 in-line. Revenue of $799.6M (-3.6% Y/Y) misses by $4.23M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]

Monday, January 14, 8:26 AM More on hhgregg's (HGG) sales report: The company notes declining demand for flat screen TVs and a broadened distribution channel for large-screen TVs cut into store traffic and sales. As a result, the retailer's video category saw sales tail off 24.6% Y/Y. HGG -6.0% premarket. 3 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
Monday, January 14, 8:21 AM hhGregg (HGG) announces preliminary results for FQ3, saying total sales fell off 3.6% Y/Y to $799.6M as comparable-store sales dropped 9.7%.

$HGG now trading at almost 19x forward estimates for 2015. 18 months in this industry is a lifetime. Valuation is now just plain silly
