Retail store industry

Article Abstract:

There are varied prospects for the retail store industry in 1999 with increased market share gains for the discount store sector and mixed results foreseen for the department store chains. Efforts to improve marketing through the Internet are being taken by many companies in this industry, either through acquisition or internally. These stocks have outperformed the market for the past several years after a weak 1994 and 1995, but their potential for appreciation for the next three to five years is not great.

Retail store industry

Article Abstract:

Future prospects for the retail store industry are mixed, especially for department stores where women's apparel sales have been weak in 1997. The outlook for discount stores is better, however, as they continue to gain a greater share of the market. Retail stocks have outperformed the market in 1996 and 1997 after a weak 1994 and 1995. Investors must consider individual stocks, as the industry is unattractive for the next three to five years.

Retail store industry

Article Abstract:

The retail environment has improved considerably in 1997 over 1996, in both same store results and operating profits, especially for department stores. The shift from consumer hard goods and electronics towards a wider range of goods and the development of private-label brands have been two trends in department stores, and the market share for discounters has increased. However, these are not attractive stocks through the years 2000-2002.
