- Monday, May 6, 7:27 AM The S&P 500 (SPY) is fairly valued, says Goldman, but opportunity lies in cyclicals (XLY, XLE, XLI, XLB) which are more undervalued vs. defensives (XLU, XLP, XLV, XTL) than at any time in the last 15 years. "Given the 4 P/E multiple point head start, even a slight valuation normalization should translate into outperformance of cyclicals over defensives during the next 12 months." 1 Comment
- Monday, April 29, 7:23 AM Consumer spending watch: Gas prices are down 28% since February's peak and analysts see another 20% drop coming up in the next few months. A rough estimate of the impact of lower gas prices on consumer spending is that a dime drop translates into $13B back into the wallets of consumers. Companies that could see a boost from the trend include Wal-Mart (WMT), Target (TGT), and Costco (COST) - while ETFs such as Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR (XLY), Vanguard Consumer Discretionary (VCR), PowerShares Dynamic Consumer Discretionary (PEZ), and Market Vectors Retail (RTH) could also benefit. 3 Comments [Consumer, Quick Ideas]
- Friday, April 26, 8:34 AM The beginning of a bigger move? Two of the year's three strongest performing sectors - healthcare (XLV) and consumer staples (XLP) - are down on the week as the three weakest sectors - energy (XLE), materials (XLB), and tech (XLK) - post gains of 3%-4.5%. 2 Comments
- Wednesday, April 24, 9:20 AM "To say that the advance has gotten ahead of fundamentals is an understatement," says iShares' Russ Koesterich, suggesting investors lighten up on red-hot consumer staples (XLP, IYK) holdings. He questions the conventional wisdom saying staples are not immune to consumer spending slowdowns, and further, he argues, how many companies are really pure staples plays? Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, April 23, 6:19 AM The Senate yesterday voted 74-20 to limit debate on legislation that would force retailers to collect taxes for online sales, opening the way for a final vote on the measure, which could take place this week. The White House officially backed the bill for the first time, although its prospects in the House are uncertain even if its passes the Senate. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, February 15, 2:41 PM The XLP, XRT, and XLY all give up gains and turn lower following Wal-Mart sounding the warning over the effects of the payroll tax hike. It's fascinating that it took markets until just now to react to what was crystal clear 6 weeks ago. 2 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
- Thursday, February 7, 9:14 AM Retail ETFs (XRT, XLY, PMR, RTH) suddenly look a bit more attractive with a rush of department stores reporting stronger-than-expected January same-store sales. Though part of the gains were from a calendar effect and pent-up demand due to the fiscal cliff drama, in the larger context key firms (JWN, M, URBN) are proving that their omni-channel approach to sales through seamlessly tying in mobile devices to web and brick-and-mortar strategy is working. Comment! [Consumer, Quick Ideas]
- Thursday, January 10, 8:39 AM Retail analysts start to get a little edgy after an early round of reports on holiday sales (Aeropostale, Tiffany, Ascena Retail Group) show considerable weakness in consumer spending. It's still early in the reporting season, but the early tone flowing out from the sector doesn't bode well for retail-focused ETFs such as XRT, XLY, PMR, and RTH. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Wednesday, January 2, 9:58 AM A number of retail stocks aren't taking part of the broad market rally today with concerns over "paystub sticker shock" from consumers and anxiety over upcoming sales reports outweighing the buzz over the U.S. averting the fiscal cliff. Notable laggards: M -1.0%, JWN -0.3%, WMT +0.5%, KSS -1.2%, DDS -0.5%. 8 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, December 31, 2012, 9:28 AM Retail stocks beat broader market averages this year because of the ability of key companies to "right-size" their inventory and continue to stoke more growth out of emerging markets, according to the debate (video) raging on Bloomberg TV. The trend at the moment is that the increased promotional activity at retailers such as Five Below (FIVE) and Gap (GPS) hasn't scared off investors, while J.C. Penney's (JCP) dalliance with moving away from coupons harpooned sales and its share price. Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, December 26, 2012, 12:34 PM Many retail stocks are diving after MasterCard and ShopperTrak release data indicating holiday season sales were light. SHLD -3.6%. GPS -3%. NKE -2.9%. M -2.6%. GME -3.2%. AEO -3.6%. LTD -2.7%. ARO -3.4%. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
- Thursday, November 29, 2012, 8:21 AM Holiday season warning for retail? The three heavyweight retailers to report November same-store sales all came in with disappointing marks. While Macy's and Target actually saw sales slip during the month, Gap showed a positive reading below expectations. The quick buzz from analysts is that a deeper trend than just a bump in the road from Hurricane Sandy could be in play. GPS -2.4%, TGT -2.9%, M -2.8%. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Wednesday, November 28, 2012, 8:01 AM Anybody relying on reports of Black Friday sales to make investment decisions likely deserves to be separated from their money. Barry Ritholtz makes crystal clear the reality of retail sales doesn't come anywhere near the breathless headlines. The 2012 Hall of Shame for Black Friday reporting. 3 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, November 23, 2012, 3:34 AM Long lines snaked around city blocks last night as retailers such as Wal-Mart (WMT) and Target (TGT) opened late on Thanksgiving. Others, including Best Buy (BBY) and Macy's (M), waited until Black Friday. Despite the queues, the National Retail Federation reckons the number of shoppers will fall to 147M over the Thanksgiving weekend from 152M last year, and that the growth in retails sales will slow to 4.1% in November-December from 5.6%. Comment! [Consumer, Top Stories]
- Tuesday, September 18, 2012, 7:24 PM Retailers appear to be optimistic about the Christmas holiday season ahead, despite gloom in other sectors about a potentially worsening global economy. Department store operator Kohl's (KSS) says it expects to add 10% more workers this year, while a poll by the Hay Group found that 57% of retailers were keeping holiday hiring at about the same level as a year ago, while about 36% said they planned to hire more. That's up from last year, when just 10% of stores said they would hire more. 3 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, July 27, 2012, 5:10 AM The SEC and Department of Justice are considering starting an investigation of the retail sector for possible breaches of the anti-foreign bribery law, Reuters reports. The deliberations follow allegations about Wal-Mart's (WMT) practices in Mexico, and after other unnamed retailers reported possible offenses by their employees. 7 Comments [Consumer, Top Stories]
