Thursday, May 9, 11:55 AM Retail stocks (XRT) were bid up a bit too much, according to AlixPartners' Steve Nevill. High-profile misses on April sales from Limited Brands (LTD -1.8%) and Costco (COST -0.3%) - as well as the soft Q1 numbers from Ann (ANN +4.3%) and Wet Seal (WTSL +5.7%) show that Wall Street might have been expecting too big of a bounce in consumer spending too soon. The price-aware climate appears just right for TJX Companies (TJX +0.8%) and Ross Stores (ROST +0.3%) though, as the pair kept up its winning ways during the month. Comment! [Consumer]
Thursday, May 9, 8:55 AM More on Ross Stores' (ROST) sales: Even running up against a tough comparable from last year didn't stop the company from making forward progress during April. The retailer ups its guidance for Q1 EPS to $1.06-$1.07, from previous guidance of $1.00-$1.04, due partially to the expected timing of expenses. (PR) Comment! [Consumer]
Thursday, May 9, 8:43 AM Ross Stores (ROST) Apr. same-store sales: +7% vs. consensus of +5.8%. Total sales +12% to $778M. (PR) Comment! [Consumer]
Thursday, April 11, 10:14 AM Retail watch: Due to the timing of Easter and a slow start to the spring selling season a two-month snapshot of sales covering March and April is appropriate before drawing major conclusions, according to analysts. Retailers looking for a March surge in home and garden (HD, LOW, TGT, WMT) spending and spring clothing purchases expect April to make up some of the slack. Of the 14 retailers reporting March numbers today, comparable-store sales averaged a 0.6% gain with Costco (COST) and Ross Stores (ROST) standing out as outperformers. 2 Comments [Consumer]

Thursday, March 7, 8:49 AM Retail riddle: Ross Stores (ROST) joins Wal-Mart (WMT) and Target (TGT) in directly tying a February sales shortfall to the late distribution of income tax refunds by the government. The oddity is that none of the retailers seem to be backloading the lost February sales into guidance for March through May. What gives? 2 Comments [Consumer]
