- Tuesday, December 11, 2012, 4:40 AM The milk industry is facing a crisis. Per-capita consumption has dropped almost 30% since 1975, with the average amount drunk slipping 3.3% last year to 20.2 gallons per person. Problems include increasing prices, health perceptions, and the rise of alternatives. To revive sales, the industry is changing its marketing and introducing new milk products and packaging. Companies affected include Dean Foods (DF). Comment! [Commodities]
- Thursday, November 29, 2012, 1:29 PM Deloitte retail analyst Alison Paul doesn't think the Hurricane Sandy excuse being trotted out by major retailers is too far off base. After accounting for a significant pre-storm slowdown and major power outages in the Northeast, she thinks the numbers as a whole are actually quite good. In that same vein, other analysts point to layaway sales and online sales yet to ship as two categories that will help December compensate for the light November. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, November 29, 2012, 8:43 AM More on Kroger's (KR) Q3: The company rode broad sales gains outside of fuel to an improved quarter. For FY12, Kroger lifts its EPS guidance to $2.44-$2.46 from a prior range of $2.35-$2.42. Exec say the grocery store chain will be focused on deploying capital to further improve growth and improve ROIC. KR +4.1% premarket. (PR) Comment! [Consumer, On the Move, Earnings]
- Thursday, November 29, 2012, 8:35 AM Kroger (KR): Q3 EPS of $0.45 beats by $0.02. Revenue of $21.8B (+5.9% Y/Y) beats by $160M. Shares +4.3% premarket. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, On the Move]

- Friday, November 23, 2012, 6:51 AM Black Friday shopping will be the headline story in retail for the day, but the underlying plot will be the effect online channels have on the total sales hauls. Though various trade groups tag Black Friday weekend shopping to see a 3% to 4% rise this year, online shopping is expected to increase by closer to 15% heading into Cyber Monday. Online has also been where the winners and losers in the sector have been separated with major online forces such as Macy's (M) and Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS) roaring to huge gains - while the likes of J.C. Penney (JCP) and Big Lots (BIG) limp along. 1 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]
- Wednesday, October 31, 2012, 10:04 AM Mall-based retailers and department stores are holding up relatively well in early trading after the effect of Hurricane Sandy was lined up as a major Q4 headwind. The trick now is to figure out which retail firms can recover lost sales. Two notables exceptions to the subdued trading pattern - J.C. Penney (JCP -4.8%) and Sears (SHLD -6.5%) - had a slightly higher percentage of stores in the path of Hurricane Sandy than the average in the sector. 12 Comments [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]
- 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]
- 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]
- Tuesday, October 16, 2012, 12:40 PM Kroger (KR +4.3%) raises its long-term EPS estimates, saying it now expects profits to grow at a 8%-11% clip, up from prior guidance of 6%-8%. Mobile and digital channels as well as new store formats are expected to help boost results. The company also approved a $500M share repurchase program to replace an existing program that still had $340M remaining. (Previous: Jefferies ups to Buy) Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Tuesday, October 16, 2012, 10:10 AM Shares of Kroger (KR +2.2%) trek higher after Jefferies takes its rating on the grocery store chain up to Buy from Hold. The firms sees Kroger taking market share from rivals and improving its ROIC as it emerges as one of the few winners from a sector under a barrage of competitive pressures. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, October 15, 2012, 12:02 PM A strengthening trend of consumers to divide up their food shopping amongst various stores is hurting grocery stores, according to research from Kantar Retail. While specialty players Whole Foods Market (WFM +0.8%) and Trader Joe's grab market share in many high-margin categories, dollar store chains and Wal-Mare continue to broaden their reach. Feeling the pressure: SVU, KR, SWY. 10 Comments [Consumer]
