Wednesday, May 8, 9:55 AM Shares of Kohl's (KSS -1.3%) trade lower with a couple of analyst warnings (I, II) out on the table for the retailer's sales trends. Comment! [Consumer]
Tuesday, May 7, 9:29 AM Retail sales numbers for April could be a tad weaker than expected after weekly reports from Redbook and ICSC-Goldman on chain store sales both came in a bit below expectations. Retail read-through: Weather and swings in gas prices seemed to impact store traffic to malls (KSS, DDS, JCP, LTD, GPS, ANF, AEO) and supercenters (WMT, COST TGT), but economists think consumer confidence on the high end (TIF, RL, SKS, COH, BBBY) just might be on the rise. Also, with online sales de-emphasized in the weekly chain store reports - Internet whiz kids Macy's (M) and Urban Outfitters (URBN) could still outperform even if mall parking lots aren't packed. 1 Comment [Consumer, U.S. Economy]
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]
Wednesday, April 10, 11:21 AM Though revenue and profit at J.C. Penney has fallen off sharply amid dysfunction, at the end of the day the company is still a +$12B retail giant with over 1K stores. This indicates if a Sears-type cost-cutting plan is implemented, at least a few department store chains could see even more benefits as JCP refugees head their way. The likeliest suspects: Macy's (M), T.J. Maxx (TJX), Gap (GPS), Kohl's (KSS). Comment! [Consumer, Quick Ideas]
Tuesday, April 9, 10:31 AM Department store stocks (M, SKS, SHLD, KSS, DDS) are trading lower in the wake of the divorce of Ron Johnson from J.C. Penney and a report on retail chain store sales that leaned to the soft side. It's a move that some analysts see as slightly curious with the weather-related delay to the spring selling season only a temporary bump and with J.C. Penney seemingly a punch or two away from a knockout that could bleed some sales to peers. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
Friday, March 22, 11:56 AM Deutsche Bank downgrades Kohl's (KSS -0.4%) to Sell from Hold based on a combination of factors including loss of market share and weak traffic. Deutsche says a "heavy inventory position" could force the retailer to markdown certain items, pressuring margins. The report predicts the stock will revisit its 52-week lows around $41. Comment! [Consumer]
Tuesday, March 19, 7:03 AM On watch: Kohl's (KSS) is downgraded to Underweight from Equal-Weight by Morgan Stanley with a soft price target of $42. The retailer hasn't seen the pickup in sales from J.C. Penney refugees that some analysts forecast while TJX Companies and Ross Stores have both gained market share at its expense. Comment! [Consumer]
Friday, March 15, 2:53 PM Consumer wrapup: An improved jobs situation and a break upward in the value of houses seems to be trumping higher payroll taxes as consumers continue to spend more than some of the more dire forecasts for the first half of 2012 foreshadowed. By sector, Staples (XLP), Discretionary (XLY), and Retail (XRT) are all double-digit gainers for the year, while defensive-oriented plays (PG, CLX, CL, REV, GIS) have been busy tracking higher. A couple of retail powerhouses - Wal-Mart (WMT) and TJX Companies (TJX) - haven't joined the 2013 frivolity just yet and the department store group (M, SKS, DDS, JWN, KSS, JCP) has lagged. Comment! [Consumer, Quick Ideas]
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.
