- Thursday, April 18, 12:30 PM Department store chains are trading weak with weak economic indicators and chatter on weak sales trends at Wal-Mart (WMT -1.5%) swaying sentiment. The sector is already a bit jitterish with Target's (TGT -0.9%) Q1 sales warnings from earlier in the week still resonating. Decliners include Sears Holdings (SHLD -2.5%), Nordstrom (JWN -1.4%), Saks (SKS -1.6%), and Macy's (M -1.2%) - while Fred's (FRED +0.1%) and J.C. Penney (JCP +1.6%) are bucking the trend. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Tuesday, April 16, 9:32 AM The lack of a FDIC charter isn't slowing down retailers from stepping up their push into financial services. Wal-Mart (WMT -0.2%) continues to expand options for users of its reloadable Bluebird cards while shoppers at Home Depot (HD +0.6%) can sign up for a $40K home improvement loan on the fly. What to watch: Look for more retailers to try to get into the mix with partnerships with payments companies and financial firms - while banks look to stop the rush by pushing Congress for increased regulation. Comment! [Consumer, Financials]
- Tuesday, April 16, 8:21 AM Target's (TGT) warning on Q1 sales trends isn't a surprise to many retail analysts with the spring selling season getting off to a slow start due to weather issues. Peer watch: Wal-Mart (WMT) trades 0.7% lower premarket, but shares of Costco (COST) are 0.7% higher with the company's track record of strong execution still a backdrop. 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]
- Wednesday, April 10, 1:12 PM The Wal-Mart (WMT -0.3%) executive who called the retailer's February sales a "total disaster" in a leaked e-mail has left the company. Though the monthly sales report was cloaked under a macroeconomic veil by the company at the time, stronger numbers put in by Costco and Target - along with a heightened concern that the company is hurting itself with understaffing - is now prompting analysts to look at the February numbers in a different light. 3 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, April 10, 8:23 AM A government panel in India exploring Wal-Mart's (WMT) lobbying activities has asked the company for more details after reviewing an initial series of documents. The probe is expected to be wrapped up by June. Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, April 10, 7:24 AM The dollar store group (DG, FDO, DLTR) is on watch after Family Dollar misses estimates with its FQ2 report and cuts its outlook for the second half of the fiscal year. The retailer's alarming assessment on consumer spending trends could also influence sentiment on Wal-Mart (WMT). 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, April 8, 9:18 AM Sam's Club (WMT) CEO Rosalind Brewer says consumers want value more than ever and thinks the company's reasonable level of membership fees will continue to drive growth. She tips Sam's Club to see $100M in revenue per year within the next six or seven years. (video) Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, April 5, 11:08 AM Even if Wal-Mart (WMT -0.5%) is having a sluggish sales quarter, it's winning in the bond market. The retailer secured ultra-low coupon rates for billion-dollar plus bond offering due in 2018 (1.125%), 2023 (2.55%), and 2043 (4%). Despite a headline or two about empty shelves or soft consumer spending patterns, the amount of free cash flow the company generates makes it a force to be reckoned with. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, April 5, 10:31 AM Sports Chalet is the latest retailer to jump into offering same-day delivery services, saying it will test a program to both sell and rent items from stores in the West. Though the same-day delivery concept is getting plenty crowded with ideas ranging from the use of lockers (AMZN), in-store pickup (ODP, HD), valets (EBAY), and even in the case of Wal-Mart (WMT) a potential trust-your-neighbor delivery service - widespread adoption still appears far away to retail analysts. What to watch: To protect margins, retailers are expected to slip in some fees on same-day delivery. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, April 5, 8:00 AM Retail industry analysts continue to question if Wal-Mart (WMT) is blowing its "one at bat" with perishables as the company's tendency to run light with employees appears to be creating stocking and customer service issues. While maintaining a foothold in the fresh food business is a top priority for the Wal-Mart, execs note investing in training and education is taking precedence over ramping up staffing. 4 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, April 4, 2:31 PM Wal-Mart (WMT +0.5%) issues three-, five-, 10-, and 30-year bonds totaling $5B; the paper is rated Aa2/AA/AA. Proceeds will go towards the ubiquitous "general corporate purposes." 4 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, April 4, 7:12 AM Wal-Mart's (WMT) problem of keeping store shelves stocked keeps drawing more attention with The New York Times and grocery store publications now highlighting the issue in detail. According to the freshest takes, the retail chain is losing the trust of customers and seeing grocery items sell more slowly due to the lower staffing levels. The key stat: Wal-Mart's average number of employees per store in the U.S. fell by 17% to 281 over the last five years. 13 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, April 3, 3:12 PM The Forensic Accounting ETF (FLAG) drops Nike (NKE) and Wal-Mart (WMT) from its portfolio, giving each "F" rankings based on its forensic accounting model. Other "F's" include SNI, XLNX, MOS, and TIF. Those garnering an "A" include CHK, HES, EA and AKAM. Since its Feb. 1 inception, the ETF has matched the S&P's performance. 2 Comments [Quick Ideas]
- Tuesday, April 2, 1:07 PM Wal-Mart (WMT +0.6%) customers barrage Bloomberg News with anecdotal complaints about empty shelves and long lines after a disparaging report on the retailer was issued last week. Though the allegedly-understaffed company dismisses the development as the rumblings of a "handful of people," analysts agree the company's workforce is spread dangerously thin. 18 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, April 2, 7:01 AM Retail analysts see the decision by Toys 'R Us to bypass an IPO as a bad warning for the retail sector as a whole but not a reason to fret about an investment in Target (TGT) or Wal-Mart (WMT). While Toys 'R Us is an obvious casualty of the conversion of toys to digital formats, Target and Wal-Mart have the food and basic items categories to lean on. 1 Comment [Consumer]
