Macy's has had too many losses this quarter on y-o-y growth which was just the way GAP also headed 2-3 years back and Circuit City just before. Time to sink these plebians and get on a new horse. Did anyone bother to look at the itemized April retail sales data yesterday morning before they went to work? Or did everyone just jump on the headline figure, which showed a broad-based decline on the month of 0.4% vs. 0.1% expected? (That disappointment sent the Dow Jones plunging nearly 200 points during the day.) Retail sales data comprises a vast range of goods, from Nintendo (NTDOY.PK...

<>U.S. stocks posted modest gains Friday even as a surprisingly weak jobs report failed to deter investors from taking a broader view that the economy is improving. Analysts’ upgrade of General Electric and Amazon.com helped the market keep its head above water as many on the Street averred the worst for the labor market was over.

Filed under: Earnings reports, Rants and raves, Applied Materials (AMAT), Sunday Funnies In this week's (November 9) Preview Section of Barron's (subscription required) I was surprised to find that on Wednesday (11/9) it is noted that Computer Sciences (CSC), Applied Materials (AMAT), and Macy's (M) reported "profits." How do they know this? <>On other days they refer to the "earnings" of various companies reporting. Perhaps I am splitting hairs, perhaps it is editorial haste (like you might find on our site), or perhaps there is no difference in some people's minds? From my perspective there i>...

Easy Comps Help Retail Sales – Analyst Blog

Easy comparisons and relatively favorable weather helped increase same-store sales in the typically weak month of October for retailers, up 1.8% from the year-earlier level but below the 2% growth expectation. Results for this series, which tracks data for stores open at least a year from 30 major retailers, had come ahead of expectations the last two months.
As a result of the financial crisis last fall, conditions were extremely bad in October of last year, when retail sales were down 4.1%.
October is typically a weak month for retailers, sandwiched as it is between the active shopping peri...
