    Most big name retailers have had their earnings go bust (AEO, ANF, GPS, JWN, CHWY, URBN, FL, TGT to name a few). All those back to school sales were pulled forward with stimulus and amazon prime day many months ago. YoY animal adoption in April 2021 was 30% and we're at 11% now.

    The pandemic run in retail has ended. Businesses now face decisions over shedding excessive real estate, supply chain disruption issues and employees who think they should be paid $20 an hour.

    Retail sales rise faster than expected in October even as inflation pushes prices higher

    Retail sales rose 1.7% in October, both for all items and excluding autos.

    Price pressures fueled the spending increase, led by online shopping and gasoline.

    Inflation has been rising at the fastest pace in 30 years, but consumers don’t appear to be curtailing their purchases

    Retail sales surge 3.8% in January, much more than expected amid inflation rise

    Retail sales increased 3.8% in January, well ahead of the 2.1% estimate and much better than the 2.5% decline in December.

    Online shopping and furniture sales boosted the number, while sporting goods and gasoline sales totals declined.

    The numbers reflect an active consumer as well as rising inflation.

    U.S. shoppers increased retail spending in April for the fourth straight month, taking on higher prices with inflation close to its highest level in four decades.

    Retail sales—a measure of spending at stores, online and in restaurants—rose a seasonally adjusted 0.9% in April from the prior month, the Commerce Department said Tuesday.

    Target Stock Sinks Nearly 25% on Earnings Miss, High Costs

    Retailer posts profit trailing Wall Street forecasts; shoppers buy fewer TVs and kitchen items

    Sales at the Minneapolis-based retailer increased in the most recent quarter as shoppers spent more on food and groceries and even luggage as they prepared to travel again, but supply-chain costs and inflationary pressures cut into profits. Like Walmart Inc., its larger rival, Target reported quarterly earnings that missed Wall Street’s forecasts.

    Target shares fell nearly 25% to about $163 in premarket trading Wednesday on the results.

    How long until TGT and WMT start to lay off those people they "over-hired" due to COVID? Between the two, it has to be close to 3M current employees. Even a small percent will put a significant number on the unemployment line.

    Retail sales rose more than expected in June as consumers remain resilient despite inflation

    Retail sales rose 1% in June, slightly better than the 0.9% estimate.

    The numbers are not adjusted for inflation, which rose 1.3% on a monthly basis, indicating that real sales still were slightly negative.

    Gasoline stations, online sales, and bars and restaurants were some of the biggest contributors.

    Retail sales growth sluggish in August as consumers fight to keep up with inflation

    Retail sales rose 0.3% in August, better than expected but boosted largely by a big jump in motor vehicles and parts dealer receipts.

    Weekly jobless claims declined to 213,000, also better than estimates.

    Manufacturing readings from the New York and Philadelphia regions suggested the sector is in contraction.

    This is becoming a common headline for retail companies:

    Gap Is Cutting 500 Corporate Jobs

    The Gap job cuts follow recent corporate layoffs at other retailers, including Walmart Inc., Abercrombie & Fitch Co., and Stitch Fix Inc. In addition, Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. has said it plans to shrink its corporate ranks amid a deep sales slump.

    Retail sales have slowed from their torrid pace of last year, as consumers spend less on apparel and homegoods and more on traveling and dining out. Inflation is making groceries, gas and other items more expensive, leaving less room in budgets for nonessential goods. That has caused inventories to pile up at many retailers, which is depressing profits as they offer discounts to clear out the goods.
