Analysts at Deutsche Bank noted Monday that upscale retailer Saks Inc. (NYSE: SKS) extended a promotion to its SaksFirst members for an additional 11 days. This suggests sales trends in early November may still be soft post Hurricane Sandy, the analyst said.
According to the analyst:
Specifically, last week, SKS ran a triple points event from 11/5-11/9 in conjunction with its Sneak Peak 40% Off Designer Sale. However, on Saturday it was announced the event was extended through November 20th, taking triple points from a planned 5 day event to a 16 day promotion. Of note, Saks may have been particularly hard hit by Hurricane Sandy with 21% of its stores and an estimated 40% of its sales in the region (NY flagship ~20% of total company sales). With that said, we found it intriguing that the aforementioned promotion was held chain wide and NOT just in the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic.
The firm reiterated their Hold rating and price target of $10.00 on SKS.
