Retailer David Jones peers into its locker of old ideas

Article Abstract:

Analysts see a positive performance of David Jones' shares in Australia's long-term stock market. They are advising stockholders to hold on until a best buy is recommended by fiscal 1998. They believe that the new management under Pete Wilkinson will set the pace for the beleaguered retail store. The new team's move to trim down expansion plans and emphasis on private-label brands may help bounce the store back to its 1996 performance.
