Retail store industry

Article Abstract:

Results for the retail store industry during the 1st qtr of 1999 indicate that earnings advances should be good for the industry throughout the year, both for the top- and bottom- lines. The discount store segment will see the greatest market share gain for the industry, but department store sales are expected to be more mixed, and there are marketing opportunities on the Internet. These stocks have outperformed the market since 1994 and 1995, but since their three- to five-year potential is not attractive investors need to be selective.

Article Abstract:

Results and prospects for 1999 remain mixed for the retail store industry, especially with same-store sales in the department store segment. The market share for discount stores continues to increase at the expense of department stores and sales opportunities are increasing with the Internet and electronic commerce. Retail industry stocks are timely in 1999, but investors will find that many are volatile selections, as well.

Article Abstract:

Earnings at most US department store chains were lower in 1999 than many industry analysts expected due to lower sales and the lack of new store openings. Discount stores have gained market share, however, and both segments of the industry are taking advantage of the Internet. These stocks are volatile for the year 2000 and investors should seek out only the most timely.
