Wednesday, May 29, 1:14 PM Another price target hike (previous) for United Natural Foods (UNFI -3.8%), this time from Piper Jaffray (Neutral, $57 from $49). Like Goldman's Stephen Grambling, analyst Sean Naughton is "encouraged by the "raised top line guidance" and category trends, but does say the "risk/reward on [the] shares is balanced at current levels." Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
Wednesday, May 29, 10:45 AM Investors may want to consider playing shares of United Natural Foods (UNFI -3.5%) for a modest bounce after today's post-earnings sell-off as Goldman raises its price target to $55 from $51, noting that FQ3 sales growth was "better than expected" while management upped its FY13 sales outlook even as it lowered the top end of its FY13 EPS guidance range. GS also reiterates a Neutral rating on the shares. (earnings PR) Comment! [Consumer, Earnings, On the Move]
Tuesday, May 28, 4:43 PM United Natural Foods (UNFI): FQ3 EPS of $0.64 in-line. Revenue of $1.57B (+12.8% Y/Y) beats by $0.01B. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]

Monday, January 28, 10:22 AM The National Retail Federation forecasts 2013 retail sales will increase at a rate of 3.4%, lower than the 4.2% rise seen in 2012. Consumer attitudes will be influenced by higher payroll taxes and the ongoing fiscal cliff drama before improving in the second half of the year, according to the trade group. Retailers with strong online businesses should be able to ride out the moderate growth period adequately with online sales forecast to rise between 9% and 12% for the year. 9 Comments [Consumer]
Monday, December 17, 2012, 5:39 PM S&P announces some changes to its indices: United Natural Foods (UNFI) will replace Amerigroup (AGP) in the S&P MidCap 400, and Ixia (XXIA) will replace United Natural Foods in the S&P SmallCap 600. Wellpoint (WLP) is acquiring AGP in a deal expected to be completed soon. Abiomed (ABMD) is also to be added to the S&P 600, replacing Cascade (CASC) as of the December 21st close of trading. Toyota Industries is acquiring Cascade, which also should be completed soon. Comment! [Healthcare, Consumer, Financials]
Friday, December 14, 2012, 3:53 PM United Natural Foods (UNFI) comments on Teamsters Local 117 strike, saying that while it remains committed to returning to the bargaining table next Thursday, it was disappointed to learn that the Union has decided to stay out on strike. Because of the decision, UNFI is forced to move forward with contingency plans to keep its operations running, which includes hiring permanent replacement employees. 1 Comment [Consumer]
Friday, November 30, 2012, 7:40 AM United Natural Foods (UNFI): FQ1 EPS of $0.46 in-line. Revenue of $1.41B (+15.8% Y/Y) in-line. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Consumer]
Monday, October 22, 2012, 1:14 PM Retailers want to edge into the holiday shopping season as early as possible this year with most forecasts calling for steady - but not spectacular - spending numbers. Trends to watch: 1) Increased online couponing and promotional activity from fringe players. 2) Managing inventory should be easier with the season starting early and big data initiatives firing up which could help margins. 3) The calendar comes through for retailers with a lush 32-day window between Thanksgiving and Christmas extending the crucial part of the season. 2 Comments [Consumer]
Thursday, October 4, 2012, 7:57 AM The vibe flowing out of September sales reports from retailers is largely positive with big names such as Costo and Limited Brands showing brisk sales, while teen seller Zumiez (ZUMZ) knocked it out of the park with 18.6% growth. Although back-to-school season numbers look to be beating expectations, the best gift for retail investors may be when Q3 reports roll in with companies showing improved margins as clearance sales were avoided and inventory controls clicked. Comment! [Consumer]
Thursday, September 27, 2012, 12:44 PM Young shoppers are the force behind the rapid growth of showrooming with their grasp on how to use mobile devices to find the best deals, according to research by AlixPartners. Naturally, Amazon (AMZN +2.2%) appears to be a beneficiary of the trend, but brick-and-mortar retailers could have a secret weapon. A retail brief published by Aimia suggests that the very same savvy young shoppers who make showrooming a force of habit are also the most loyal reward program participants. The end game: A loyalty program with soft benefits could steal Amazon's thunder. 2 Comments [Consumer]
Tuesday, September 11, 2012, 7:33 AM United Natural Foods (UNFI): FQ4 EPS of $0.51 in-line. Revenue of $1.34B (+16% Y/Y) in-line. (PR) 1 Comment [Earnings, Consumer]
