Layoffs and underemployment will cause more telecommuting, and home-based job starts. Staples is the go-to supplier for home-based businesses. Also a retailer in the rare financial position of ability to expand into increasing vacancies in shopping centers on favorable terms.

Staples, Inc (NASDAQ:SPLS) reports record Q4 sales and earnings. The entire year looks pretty good with a 27% increase in EPS. The numbers include an extra week but once you factor it out the results are still pretty good. To celebrate the company has declared a dividend increase of 32%. A dividend increase is the best form of guidance . These are all great numbers and any investor should be very happy with management.
So why has the stock traded basically sideways since mid fall? It seems that no one is prepared to put their money on the line. Institutional holdings are off by j...

Staples: Who Said it Was Easy?
Staples ( SPLS) has a legacy of making the buying of office supplies easy for their customers. But the last couple of years have been anything but easy for the company. On the other hand, compared to their major competitors, they indeed make running an office supply company look easy.

I think the quarter was lackluster and indicative of the immense work ahead for management in terms of getting people into their stores and increasing sales per transaction.
