Retail (special lines) industry
Article Abstract:
Earnings prospects for the specialty retail industry in 1996 are weak, due largely to competition and mixed consumer spending. Same-store sales for Oct 1995 deteriorated and the 1995 holiday shopping season is expected to be weak. Sluggish wage growth and an aging population are two trends that will affect consumer spending in coming years. While this industry is not timely in 1995 and 1996, several stocks may be good investments.

Retail (special lines) industry
Article Abstract:
Slow wage gains over the past twelve months and erratic consumer confidence are having an unfavorable effect on specialty retail earnings. Competition from department stores, factory outlets, and discounters, along with low demand, are also having an impact. Earnings for the 1st half of 1995 are sluggish as a result. These stocks are expected to underperform the market and investors must show caution in making selections.

Retail (special lines) industry
Article Abstract:
Consumer debt and job security concerns led to a steep decline in consumer confidence from Dec 1995 to Jan 1996, resulting in weak retail sales and low margins. This is especially true in furniture and clothing. Several specialty chains have strengths, however, as do several chains with high income customers. These stocks are more volatile than in other industries and investors should seek the most timely issues.
