☆ Analysts say don't chase Nike pop on new CEO: 'There are probably no quick fixes'
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-20 | by ( Sean Conlon | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Nike's CEO is stepping down, and some on Wall Street appear to be lukewarm about the news. On Thursday after the bell, the sneaker giant announced that CEO John Donahoe will be retiring on Oct. 13. Wells Fargo maintained its overweight rating and increased its target by $9 to $95, implying more than 17% upside ahead. "We expect multiple expansion commensurate with Hill's hire — as leadership has been a large point of contention and controversy surrounding the stock," analyst Ike Boruchow wrote in a note. Bernstein, which has an outperform rating on Nike, expects the turnaround "will take time," but said market sentiment will be sympathetic.

☆ Finding the next retailer shoe to drop after the Foot Locker debacle this week
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-07 | by ( Michael Khouw | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

Following the Foot Locker debacle earlier this week, there could be more turmoil in the retailer space. Because publicly traded companies provide quarterly financial reports, historic revenue growth and earnings multiples are available to everyone. Earlier this week, I wrote that Foot Locker 's outperformance relative to Nike was hard to comprehend. Dick's did not fall in sympathy with Foot Locker as Academy did, and admittedly Dick's is a very different business than Foot Locker. Observe that their revenues have more than tripled over the past 10 years even as Foot Locker has languished: That said, broader economic trends, while they may not affect all businesses equally, still matter.

Toys, games and hobby gear are on track to be less expensive this holiday season for the first time since 2020, while sporting goods prices are down this holiday for the first time since 2018, data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)showed. To be sure, prices overall are higher in 2023 despite slowed price growth, with October's consumer price index climbing to 3.2% year-over-year. The figure remained flat on a month-over-month basis, signaling some holiday item prices may be slow to come down. Despite a dip in sporting goods prices, they continue to pace above 2019 levels. Walmart WMT.N said prices of general merchandise - clothing, electronics, furniture - had declined by low to mid-single-digit percentages versus last year, enabling the retailer to cut prices this holiday season.

Birkenstock is the latest high-profile listing to put investor focus on the initial public offering (IPO) market, which is gradually reopening after two relatively quiet years and a burst of activity in September. Due to recent price hikes, worldwide footwear sales are expected to rise just 2.9% over 2022, according to market research firm Euromonitor International. AllBirds (BIRD.O), Dr Martens (DOCS.L), and On Running (ONON.N) have all seen their market value fall since their IPOs in 2021.

People visit the Nike store at 5th Avenue during the holiday season in New York City, U.S., December 9, 2022. The company had turned to steep discounting to clear the excess inventory, which had weighed on its margins in the past few quarters. Nike on Thursday estimated a 100 basis point boost to current-quarter gross margin while maintaining its annual forecasts. The jump also lifted shares of Adidas, Puma and JD Sports (JD.L) between 5%-7%. Still, demand in North America remained under pressure, leading Nike to post a slight miss on first-quarter revenue.

In the past year, clothing retailers have sought to clear excess stock that had piled up due to a shift in consumer demand to essentials from discretionary items like clothing. But with fourth-quarter temperatures expected to start off warm, according to weather tracking firm Weather Trends International, stores carrying winter styles and gear could find themselves loaded with inventory at the end of the season. European company Pepco Group (PCOP.WA) also noted that the landing of its autumn and winter clothing inventory had coincided with persistent record-warm weather in its core Central and Eastern European markets. In the United States, temperatures could rise by 2 to 12 degrees Fahrenheit on average in the October-December period compared with last year, according to Weather Trends International. Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF.N) also said there was strong demand for "seasonless products" in the second quarter, particularly in the men's category, as customers picked out year-round clothing items and styles.

☆ Dick's Sporting Goods' proposed holiday hiring slips to 8,600 amid higher labor costs
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-26 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

Sept 26 (Reuters) - Athletic-wear retailer Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS.N) said on Tuesday it would recruit 8,600 workers across the United States for the holiday shopping season, less than its proposed hiring for the same period a year earlier. The company's announcement comes close on the heels of conservative holiday hiring plans announced by retailers Target (TGT.N) and department store retailer Macy's (M.N) last week. Dick's Sporting Goods last year had said it would hire 9,000 temporary employees for the holiday season. A report by Challenger, Gray & Christmas earlier this month showed that retailers in the U.S. would hire the lowest number of seasonal workers this holiday season since 2008, as they battle increased labor costs. Sporting goods retailers such as Dick's Sporting Goods, Nike (NKE.N) and Foot Locker (FL.N) are battling weak wholesale demand in the U.S. as consumers cut down on spending on pricier discretionary items such as sporting apparel.

Sadly, in the last year we've seen twice as many offences," Sharon White, chair of the John Lewis Partnership that owns department stores and Waitrose supermarkets, told BBC Radio. Weston said some of the theft was "quite organised" and Primark was also seeing higher levels of anti-social behaviour. His comments echo those of Tesco (TSCO.L) CEO Ken Murphy, who earlier this month said Britain's biggest supermarket chain was offering body-cams to staff who need them. Murphy also called for a change in the law to make abuse and violence towards retail workers a specific offence in Britain. Target (TGT.N), Foot Locker (FL.N) and Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS.N) have all warned that profits have been under pressure from loss of inventory due to theft at their stores.

☆ How much are retailers losing to shrink and theft? In many cases, it's not the main drag on profits
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-08 | by ( Gabrielle Fonrouge | In Gabrielle-Fonrouge | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +13 min

During second-quarter earnings reports in August and September, nearly two dozen retailers said shrink has continued to weigh on profits. During its second quarter earnings call with analysts, the company said shrink was in line with the year-ago period. Over the last few quarters, more and more retailers have called out shrink as a drain on profits and blamed theft for those losses. Others that loosely blame shrink and theft for plummeting profits without providing much more explanation may be trying to obfuscate internal issues, said Lapinsky. Contrary to other retailers, shrink was the largest drag on Ulta's earnings during fiscal 2022, according to a securities filing.

The Foot Locker store in Broomfield, Colorado is seen on November 17, 2016. The athletic-wear retailer also missed expectations for quarterly sales, said it would pause its dividend payouts and flagged softer demand in July, which is typically when back-to-school shopping starts. The shares of the company's larger rivals Nike (NKE.N), Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS.N) and Under Armour fell between 2% and 4% in premarket trade. Foot Locker's warnings kept the pressure on sportswear retailers after they tumbled on Tuesday when Dick's Sporting Goods also cut its full-year profit targets, slammed by hits to its margins from retail theft. Foot Locker also said its quarter was hit by inventory shrink, or retail theft, and steeper discounts.
