Retail store industry

Article Abstract:

The environment for the retail industry in operating profits and same-store sales, especially for the department store segment, has improved in 1996 over 1994 and 1995, and stocks of the leading chains are stronger. However, results for discount store chains, such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc and Kmart Corp, have been mixed. Although timeliness for these stocks has increased in 1996, investors must consider long-term competition as well as market share.

Retail store industry

Article Abstract:

The environment for the retail industry is strong in 1996, especially for department stores, compared to 1994 and 1995. The leading department stores are accelerating proprietary brand developments and shifting merchandise offerings, as well as automating internal functions. Results for discount chains, such as Wal-Mart, Kmart, Dollar General, and Family Dollar Stores are more mixed, however. These stocks must be selected on an individual basis.

Retail store industry

Article Abstract:

Trends for same-store sales were weak in the retail store industry during the 4th qtr of 1995, with consumer spending only half the 5% increase of selling space expansion. Small stores with convenient locations helped some chains remain successful, and consolidation and changes in merchandising have enhanced margins for some department stores. Investors should consider stocks with long-term competitive advantages and market share.
