- Thursday, May 23, 10:02 AM Children's Place (PLCE +6.7%) posts strong gains after beating on both the top and bottom line. From the report: CEO Jane Elfers says — in what is now a familiar refrain from retailers this quarter — that the company "had a difficult start [before] April sales improved significantly." Comps growth was negative (-5.5%) as was sales growth (-3.5%). $56.2M remains under the company's share repurchase program. PLCE also raises its EPS guidance for FY13 to $3.05-3.20 against consensus of $3. (PR) Comment! [On the Move, Consumer, Earnings]
- Thursday, May 23, 7:27 AM Children's Place (PLCE): Q1 EPS of $0.83 beats by $0.22. Revenue of $423.2M (-3.5% Y/Y) beats by $6.62M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]
- Thursday, April 25, 9:17 AM A devastating apparel factory disaster in Bangladesh doesn't directly involve any large well-known companies, but could affect global retailers as an increased focus on safety appears imminent. Retailers which reportedly bought clothes from suppliers located in the collapsed building in the recent past include The Children's Place (PLCE), Wal-Mart (WMT), Dress Barn (ASNA), Primark (ASBFY.PK), and Benetton (BNGPY.PK). Analysts think the sector will rethink supply chain decisions with a heightened focus on safety. 1 Comment [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Monday, April 1, 2:40 PM Analysts think the colder March weather this year could hurt retailers that sell clothing to kids and teenagers as family shopping takes a backseat. Though the spring selling season could still pick up steam in April despite the slow start, retailers such as American Eagle (AEO -1.4%), Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF +0.1%), Gap (GPS -0.8%), Aeropostale (ARO -3.2%), and Children's Place (PLCE +0.1%) that depend on mall traffic have a lot of ground to make up. 1 Comment [Consumer]

Premarket gainers: THLD +8%. CTIC +6%.
Losers: ZIOP -62%. PLCE -6%. PATH -6%. Comment! [On the Move] - Tuesday, March 26, 7:51 AM Shares of Children's Place (PLCE) slump, down 5.9% premarket, after the retailer issues guidance for Q1 well-below the estimates of analysts. The company expects sales to fall off at a negative high single-digit pace during the period. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Tuesday, March 26, 6:16 AM Children's Place (PLCE): Q4 EPS of $1.15 beats by $0.11. Revenue of $509.2M beats by $13.16M. Shares -4.3% AH. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News, On the Move]
- Monday, February 25, 9:30 AM Janney cuts its rating on Children's Place (PLCE -4.7%) to Neutral from Buy with discounting hitting the sector amid payroll tax pressure on lower-end consumers. The firm lowered its price target on shares to $49 from $59. Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, December 19, 2012, 3:30 PM Retail Geeks think it's more productive to compare gross profit margins for apparel retailers on a 2-3 year time time frame instead of getting lost in the noise of a Y/Y comparison. The longer view gives a clearer picture of which firms are able to re-capture lost merchandising margins from higher sourcing costs. After crunching the numbers, margin trends at Aeropostale (ARO), J.C. Penney (JCP), Children's Place (PLCE), and Urban Outfitters (URBN) look broken. On the flip side, Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS), Hibbett Sports (HBB), and Dillard's (DDS) show some promise. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- 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]
- Monday, November 26, 2012, 5:56 PM Children's Place Retail Stores (PLCE) says its board has approved an additional share buyback for up to $100M. At the end of Q3, the company had approximately $21.6M remaining of the $50M share repurchase program previously authorized in March. Additionally, the company also announces that CFO Steven Baginski has left the company effective immediately. Michael Scarpa will assume the duties as CFO, effective December 3rd, and will report to president and CEO Jane Elfers. Comment! [Consumer]
- 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]
- Thursday, November 15, 2012, 6:32 AM Children's Place (PLCE): Q3 EPS of $1.60 in-line. Revenue of $500.9M (+3% Y/Y) in-line. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, 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]
