Thursday, June 6, 7:59 AM Conn's (CONN) vs. RadioShack (RSH): The shift by Conn's away from consumer electronics into furniture and mattresses continues to pay dividends as the retailer puts in another quarter which would have to make execs with RadioShack green with envy. Though the mobile strategy of RadioShack looked appealing to some because of the company's retail footprint and the boom in smartphone sales, Conn's made the right call by heading to where the margins were lusher. 3 Comments [Consumer]
Friday, May 31, 8:45 AM A below par reading on personal spending for April was affected by lower gas prices and home heating bills and isn't a biting indictment on retail spending (AEO, ANF, ARO, BBBY, BBY, BJ, CHS, COH, COST, DG, DLTR, GPS, HD, JCP, JWN, KSS, LOW, LTD, M, NDN, NKE, ODP, PIR, PLCE, RSH, SKS, SPLS, TGT, TJX, URBN, WMT, WSM, ZLC), according to economists. Auto sales also cooled off just a bit in April which had an impact. So far, retail trends have been largely favorable in May as the height of the spring selling season shifted a few weeks later. 4 Comments [Consumer]
Tuesday, May 21, 2:42 PM eBay (EBAY -0.9%) continues to look for more ways to grow the use of PayPal. New initiatives include RadioShack (RSH -2.7%) setting up PayPal as a payment option at its stores beginning this month and working with Jamba Juice (JMBA +0.7%) to find a way for its customers to pre-order drinks and pick them up in a separate line. The big picture: PayPal will be in an estimated 2M merchant locations by the end of the year, but the company still has some major work to do to break the swipe habits of consumers. Comment!

Friday, March 15, 12:25 PM Shares of RadioShack (RSH +6.6%) shrug off this week's downgrade from Goldman Sachs to poke out a gain. Despite many analysts giving the retail chain little chance for a strong turnaround, the large number of top-tier financial institutions with a decent-sized stake in RSH keep some hope alive that a rabbit can be pulled out of the hat.

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.
