Retail Earnings Provided Clear Customer Behavior Insights That Benefited Discount Retailers And Left High-End Retailers In The Dark
Portfolio Pulse from Upwallstreet
Discount retailers like TJX Corporation and Ross Stores Inc have thrived as consumers drift away from high-end retailers. Ross Stores topped quarterly estimates and improved its outlook, causing its shares to rise about 6%. The Estee Lauder Companies issued a weak guidance and slow recovery of its business in Asia. Farfetch Limited stock dropped after the luxury fashion e-commerce retailer posted a big revenue miss and weaker than expected guidance. This trend continues the narrative that high-end retailers are losing out, while necessities and off-price retailers are winning.
