S&P Equity Research analyst says Department Stores Mostly Exceed Out April Same-Store Sales Estimates.
S&P analyst, J. Asaeda, says, "With the right products at the right prices in April, same-store sales rose 23.9% at Saks (NYSE: SKS) and 3.5% at Kohl's (NYSE: KSS), topping our +3.0% and -3.0% estimates. The 1.7% same-store sales drop at J.C. Penney (NYSE: JCP) also bested our -6.0% forecasts. At Nordstrom (NYSE: JWN), same-store sales fell 3.8% vs. our +2.0% projection on less discounting than SKS. Finally, while Dillard's (NYSE: DDS) 4.0% same-store sales decline beat our -8.0% estimate, we believe odds of its turnaround remain low. We see tax rebate spending and lower clearance levels in May."
