		<description><![CDATA[The nightmare for RadioShack Corp. (RSH) persists as the company continues with its disappointing performance. The company’s first-quarter 2012 financial results were well below the Zacks Consensus Estimates. The comparable store sales for the company-operated stores and kiosks (stores and kiosks opened at least a year) decreased 4.2% year over year. This is a key retail performance indicator measuring growth from existing sales locations. GAAP net loss from continuing operation, in the first quarter of 2012, was $8 million or a loss of 8 cents per share compared with a net income of $31.4 million or 30 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. Quarterly EPS of a loss of 8 cents was nowhere near the Zacks Consensus Estimate of an income of 5 cents. Quarterly net revenue was $1,008.3 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hhgregg, Inc. (HGG) has recently expressed its apprehension with regard to its third-quarter 2012 earnings to decline to approximately $0.60 per share, from the prior-year quarter of $0.66. The estimate slid on the back of lower than expected margins in the video category owing to the promotional activities across all screen sizes. Hhgregg also expects advertising expenses to escalate due to the recent initiatives taken up to increase its market share in the appliance and home office categories. In addition, Hhgregg has also launched a mobile product offering to enhance its customers shopping experience. The preliminary third quarter 2012 results also led to a downward revision in fiscal 2012 earnings in the range of $1.05 to $1.15, compared with the previous guidance of $1.26 to $1.41. Going forward, we expect ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RadioShack Corp. (RSH) difficulties persist as the company continues its disappointing performance. Precipitous decline of the signature and consumer electronics retail businesses, adverse product-mix toward low-margin devices, and a volatile macro-economic scenario in the U.S. are taking their toll on the company&#8217;s financials. Weaker-than-expected growth of the mobile platform and growing marketing expenses are other near-term concerns. Management provided a tepid outlook for the ensuing fourth quarter of 2011. In the previous quarter, comparable store sales for the company-operated stores and kiosks (those opened at least a year) declined 4% year over year. This is a key retail performance indicator measuring growth from the existing sales locations. We have thus downgraded our recommendation on RadioShack to Underperform.

		<description><![CDATA[GameStop Corporation (GME), the video game and entertainment software retailer, recently posted third quarter 2011 results. Street analysts had more than a week to ponder the news. In the subsequent paragraphs, we cover the recent earnings announcement, analysts’ estimate revisions as well as the Zacks Rank and long-term recommendation on the stock. Earnings Report Review Strong digital sales helped GameStop post quarterly earnings of 39 cents per share, up 2.6% year over year from 38 cents a share.  However, reported earnings were in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. GameStop, which faces stiff competition from Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN), reported total revenue of $1,946.8 million, up 2.5% from $1,899.2 in the year-ago quarter. However, total revenue remained below the Zacks Consensus Revenue Estimate of $1,963 million. For the fourth quarter of 2011, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. (MMI) introduced a cheaper XOOM tablet, designed mainly for families. This product is available at Best Buy Co. Inc. (BBY) stores from last Sunday. XOOM tablet was first launched in mid-February 2011 with Verizon Wireless, a joint venture between Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ) and Vodafone Group plc. (VOD). From October 13, 2011, Motorola Mobility has started selling its 4G LTE-enabled XOOM from Verizon Wireless stores for $499.99 for a two-year data plan. However, the new family purpose XOOM will cost just $379. XOOM was the first device to run on Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system, specifically designed by Google Inc. (GOOG) for tablets. The XOOM family edition will contain a touch screen of 10.1 inches at the diagonal, a dual-core processor, front and rear cameras. However, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have downgraded the hhgregg, Inc.&#8217;s (HGG) recommendation to Underperform from Neutral on the heels of the hhgregg&#8217;s first-quarter 2012 net loss of $0.02 per share which was below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a break-even as well as the year-ago quarter earnings of $0.07. The loss reflected a 13.2% drop in comparable store sales with an increase in SG&#38;A as a percentage of net sales. Moreover, hhgregg&#8217;s top-line inched down 1.0% to $431.5 million during the quarter. Going forward, we expect net sales and operating margin to remain muted owing to the seasonal shopping patterns, rising costs and competitive pressures. Moreover, weakness across the consumer electronics and appliances industry and alarming macroeconomic factors brings in serious concerns to the topline. Our six-month target price of $10.00 per share equates ]]></description>

Initially, markets had been trading in the negative zone as investors were bogged down by fears of a Greek debt-default. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained by 0.6% to close at 11,061.12. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was up 0.7% to settle at 1,162.27. The Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 2,495.09, posting a 1.1% gain. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) traded around 38.

		<description><![CDATA[We reiterate our long-term Neutral recommendation on Best Buy Company Inc. (BBY), one of the leading specialty retailers of consumer electronic products, home office products, entertainment software, appliances and related services, with a price target of $32.00. Best Buy’s customer-centric operating model remains the driving factor behind its growth. The company tailors its store merchandising, staffing, marketing and presentation to meet the distinct needs of targeted customers. The company’s wide array of assortments, store formats and brand marketing strategies provides an edge over competitors. Best Buy recently posted better-than-expected first-quarter 2012 results. The quarterly earnings of 35 cents a share, topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 33 cents, but fell 2.8% from 36 cents earned in the prior-year quarter. Management reiterated its fiscal 2012 adjusted earnings guidance range of $3.30 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Electronic Commerce, or e-commerce, industry is one of the most developing sectors of the economy. The industry is evolving very rapidly, so data collection and evaluation are particularly difficult. Consequently, one has to rely largely on surveys by both government and private agencies. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the manufacturing sector is the largest contributor to e-commerce sales (42% of their total shipments), followed by merchant wholesalers (23.4% of their total sales). These two segments make up the business-to-business category. Retailers and service providers generated just 4.0% and 2.3%, respectively of their revenues online, a slightly higher percentage than they were in the prior year. The Bureau categorizes these two segments as business-to-consumer. The business-to-business category makes up 91% of total e-commerce sales, with the balance coming from ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are maintaining our cautious stance on RadioShack Corp.(RSH) given the company’s moderate performance in the first quarter of 2011. RadioShack declared mixed financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Although earnings per share (EPS) were in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate, revenues fell slightly below the estimate. However, revenues increased 2.1% year over year mainly attributable to growth in mobility (mostly wireless) businesses (up 11%) but fell 22.3% sequentially, mainly due to lower demand for consumer electronic goods and the ongoing tussle with T-Mobile business. The company also reduced its EPS outlook for fiscal 2011. RadioShack is one of the most experienced and trusted consumer electronics specialty retailers in the U.S. RadioShack is well positioned on the back of its better locations and large footprint.

		<description><![CDATA[With the lack of any major events and the fading out of the earnings season, volatility in commodities has swung the markets over the past few days. On Thursday, a rebound in commodities lifted the benchmarks higher. Moreover, investors chose to negate mixed economic data as crude prices gained strength to pull indices up from the previous day’s loss. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) increased 0.5% to settle at 12,695.92. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) also gained 0.5% to finish the day at 1,348.65. The Nasdaq Composite Index ended at 2,863.04 after gaining 0.6%. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) dropped to roughly 16.

		<description><![CDATA[We are upgrading our recommendation on RadioShack Corp. (RSH) to Neutral based on (1) its current valuation (2) launch of iPAD2 in its 500 stores from March 29, 2011. The stock price has plummeted nearly 37.5% in the last year and is now trading at the low-end of RadioShack’s 52-week price range. We believe current valuation of RadioShack may provide a cushion for a further downside. The wireless category, which represents one-third of total sales, is likely to continue its impressive performance in near future. RadioShack generated increased revenue from Sprint Nextel and AT&#38;T postpaid wireless business. The company now offers a broad range of products from AT&#38;T (T), Sprint Nextel Corp. (S), and T-Mobile. RadioShack enriched its leading-edge wireless product portfolio by adding Apple Inc’s (AAPL) legendary smartphone iPhone ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Alexander Moschina, Investment U Research Tuesday, January 11, 2011 According to AlixPartners’ global retail practice director, Keith Jelinek, consumers were out in force over the recent holiday season, snapping up even more expensive products than last year. Unfortunately for electronics retailer Best Buy (NYSE: BBY), consumers weren’t buying plasma screen TVs and video games. Result? In the company’s third quarter earnings release, it reported a 5% drop in domestic sales from a year earlier. Net revenue finished at $11.89 billion, down from $12.02 billion, which fell short of analysts’ projections for a rise to $12.45 billion. That’s in stark contrast to one of Best Buy’s smaller competitors, RadioShack (NYSE: RSH)… RadioShack… Without the Radio, But With the Profits How does a store for techies get so popular that an ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[GameStop Corporation (GME), the video game and entertainment software retailer, recently posted third-quarter 2010 results. The quarterly earnings of 38 cents a share came a penny ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate and rose 18.8% from 32 cents earned in the prior-year quarter driven by top-line growth and effective cost management. The Zacks Consensus Estimate was stable prior to the earnings announcement with no upward or downward revisions in the analysts’ estimates in the past 30 days. Behind the Headline The Grapevine, Texas based company, GameStop, posted total revenue of $1,899.2 million that fell short of the Zacks Consensus Revenue Estimate of $1,948 million but climbed 3.5% from the year-ago quarter. The retailer hinted that comparable-store sales advanced 1.1%. U.S. segment comparable-store sales grew 5.3%, whereas international comparable-store sales were ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We downgrade our recommendation on RadioShack Corp. (RSH) to Neutral. Major near-term concern for RadioShack is the significant decline in its gross margin. In the third quarter of 2010, gross margin was 45.4% compared to 47.6% in the prior-year quarter and 47.5% in the previous quarter. Management cited the precipitous decline of the electronics accessories business and an unfavorable product-bias towards low-margin mobile handsets as the primary reasons for this poor margin. Importantly, RadioShack announced that this trend will continue in the near future due to revamping of the core retail electronics segment and large-scale deployment of wireless kiosks inside Target Corp. (TGT) stores. RadioShack is facing intensifying competition from larger rivals like Best Buy Co. Inc. (BBY) and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT). Best Buy is gradually rolling out small ]]></description>

(BBY) is scheduled to report third quarter results in the middle of the holiday season but is coming off of a 36.4% earnings beat in the fiscal second quarter. It is trading at just 12.4x forward estimates. While electronic gadgets remain hot products with consumers, Best Buy still has tough competition from online retailers like Amazon.com as well as the discounters like Wal-Mart and Target. In the second quarter, however, revenue rose 3% to $11.3 billion from $11 billion a year ago. Earnings per share were 60 cents, or 16 cents better than the Zacks Consensus of 44 cents. It was the third earnings surprise in the last 4 quarters. The company made just 37 cents ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RadioShack Corp. (RSH) has declared third quarter 2010 financial results mostly in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimates. Comparable store sales for the company-operated stores and kiosks (stores and kiosks opened at least a year) grew 6.2% year-over-year. This is a key retail performance indicator, measuring growth from existing sales locations. GAAP net income in the third quarter 2010 was $46 million or 37 cents per share, compared to a net income of $37.4 million or 30 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. Quarterly EPS of 37 cents beats the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 35 cents. The company’s strategy to put emphasis on innovative mobile and technology products helps RadioShack improving its bottom line.

		<description><![CDATA[We upgrade our recommendation on RadioShack Corp. (RSH) to Outperform based on our assessment that the company is likely to improve its earnings in the future reporting quarters as a result of a significant boom in the wireless industry. Currently it is a Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stock. RadioShack is one of the most experienced and trusted consumer electronics specialty retailers in the U.S. We remain optimistic regarding the company’s large, profitable store base and its exposure to the wireless communications business. The company is generating massive revenue growth from stronger sales of postpaid wireless business and prepaid wireless handsets and airtime. Emphasis on next-generation smartphones like iPhone 4 of Apple Inc. (AAPL) also helps RadioShack improving bottom-line. Wireless product category is expected to perform well in the future ]]></description>

The blue-chip Dow industrials and the broader Standard &#38; Poor’s 500-stock index dropped for the first time in five days even as the Commerce Department noted retail sales rose at their fastest rate in five months. After rising for four consecutive sessions, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 18 points, or 0.2%, to close at 10,526.49. The S&#38;P 500 dropped less than a point, or 0.1%, to close at 1,121.10. The tech-heavy Nasdaq bucked the trend and edged up 4 points, or 0.2%, to 2,289.77.

		<description><![CDATA[The future outlook for RadioShack Corp. (RSH) is flat. Second quarter 2010 financial results were mostly in line with Zacks Consensus Estimates. Recent earnings estimate revisions are showing an almost 50-50 swing in both directions. RadioShack continues its solid performance supported by significant growth of wireless businesses. However, the company’s non-wireless product segment is facing a gradual decline in sales. Moreover, the company is facing intensifying competition from more diversified retail stores. Second Quarter Highlights Quarterly EPS of $0.41 was exactly in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Emphasis on innovative wireless devices like the iPhone 4 helped RadioShack improve its bottom-line. Quarterly net revenue was $1,011.4 million, up 4.7% year over year but slightly below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,017 million.

There will be just 33 firms reporting next week, and some of those will be reporting second quarter earnings, not first quarter (we define fiscal periods ending in May, June and July as being second quarter). However, among the 33 total are five S&#38;P 500 firms. These are Best Buy (BBY), Discover Financial (DFS), Kroger’s (KR), S.J. Smucker (SJM) and Federal Express (FDX). The Fed Ex report should be particularly interesting in that its shipment volumes are a telling clue as to how the rest of the economy is doing. With the week light on earnings reports, most of the attention will be focused on the economic data coming out. It will be a very heavy week for data, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[GameStop Corp. (GME) posted first-quarter 2010 earnings of 48 cents per share, which topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny and increased 14% from 42 cents per share last year. The better-than-expected performance was primarily driven by a higher top-line, a significant decline in interest expenses (down 18%) and absence of a debt extinguishment expense, which existed in the year-ago period. Quarterly Details Quarterly revenue grew 5% to $2,083 million from $1,981 million in the prior-year quarter. The growth was mainly attributable to the addition of new stores over the last year, partially offset by a 1.6% decline in same-store sales. In terms of sales mix, new video game software sales grew 13% to $873.1 million, mainly driven by new releases such as Battlefield Bad Company 2, God of ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Best Buy Company, Inc. (BBY) recently reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter 2010 results, sending shares up $3.17 or 7.7% to $44.35 in early hours trading. The quarterly earnings of $1.82 per share surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.79 and rose 13% from $1.61 delivered in the prior-year quarter, buoyed by sustained growth in the top-line and disciplined cost management. Even in this sluggish economic environment, plagued by heavy job losses and lower discretionary spending, Best Buy was able to increase its market share. The company’s domestic market share rose 2.6% in the quarter. The company has been particularly able to increase its market share since the liquidation of its archrival Circuit City. Notebook computers, mobile phones, digital imaging and flat-panel TVs were the strongest categories. These were offset by softness in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We recently upgraded our recommendation on GameStop Corporation (GME) to Neutral from Underperform with a target price of $22.00. Being the global leader in retailing software, hardware, and game accessories for video game systems and personal computers, GameStop is better positioned than its competitors for the economic recovery. The stock is poised to surge once the economy rebounds and demand improves. GameStop recently reported fourth-quarter 2009 results that came a penny ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate, but fell 3.7% year-over-year to $1.29 per share. Revenue for the quarter rose marginally by 0.9% to $3,524 million. Despite a fall in the bottom-line in the quarter, the Grapevine, Texas-based company expects earnings to rebound in fiscal 2010. GameStop now expects first-quarter 2010 earnings between 46 cents and 48 cents a share, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We recently downgraded our rating on Best Buy Company Inc. (BBY) to Neutral from Outperform with a target price of $41.00. Consumers, grappling with the recent downturn and lower disposable income, are now prioritizing their purchases. Best Buy sells products that are more discretionary in nature. We expect moderate sales growth for a few years. The company also hinted that its fourth-quarter 2010 domestic gross margin will be lower than anticipated. Further we notice that Best Buy’s international comparable-store sales have been falling. However, Best Buy’s dominant position in the consumer electronic business enables it to sustain growth in the top-line, expand store base, and boost market share. Despite the economic downturn, the company was able to increase its market share both domestically (up 2.3%) and internationally in third-quarter 2010. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We downgrade our recommendation for RadioShack Corp. (RSH) to Neutral, due to our concern regarding future sales potential of the company’s non-wireless product categories. RadioShack’s fourth quarter 2009 financial results were mostly in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimates. But that was mainly due to significant growth of the wireless businesses. In the fourth quarter, sales of its TV Converter box was just $13.1 million compared to $54.4 million in the year-ago quarter. Accessory sales were down 19.6% due to a huge sales decline in digital-to-analog TV converter boxes, imaging accessories and video game accessories. Modern Homes sales declined 8.8%, Personal Electronics sales decline 12.4%, Power sales declined 11.2%, and Technical sales declined 4%. Kiosks segment revenue declined 15.3% year-over-year to $67.2 million. This was primarily due to fewer kiosk ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RadioShack Corp. (RSH) declared fourth quarter 2009 financial results yesterday after the closing bell. Overall the company performed well as both its top-line and bottom-line increased over the prior-year quarter. However, serious concerns remain regarding RadioShack’s non-wireless product categories and RadioShack Kiosks sales. GAAP net income, in the fourth quarter, was $75.7 million or 60 cents per share, compared to a net income of $60.1 million or 48 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. Fourth quarter earnings of 60 cents per share barely topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 59 cents. Quarterly net revenue was $1,318.2 million, up 4.7% year-over-year. However, this was slightly below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,325 million. The year-over-year increase in sales is primarily due to a 6.1% rise in comparable same-store sales for ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The video game industry, of which GameStop Corp. (GME) is a part, had surged ahead for a number of years, but is now grappling with the recession. Heavy job losses and reduced access to credit markets have led to lower discretionary spending. This has resulted in lower demand for video game consoles and new software. Moreover, the cut-throat competition from big-box companies is also weighing upon GameStop&#8217;s results. These unfavorable backdrops were evident from the company&#8217;s sluggish holiday sales season, which prompted management to lower its comparable-store sales and earnings guidance.

		<description><![CDATA[We upgrade our recommendation for RadioShack Corp. (RSH) to Outperform based on our assessment that the company is likely to improve its earnings in the future reporting quarters as a result of significant boom in the wireless industry. The company is generating healthy revenue growth from stronger sales for its Sprint Nextel postpaid wireless business, netbooks and prepaid wireless handsets and airtime. The addition of T-Mobile as a postpaid wireless carrier also contributed to revenue. RadioShack&#8217;s decision to introduce iPhone 3G in all of its stores in 2010 will also boost its top-line. In addition, RadioShack began selling mobile phones in kiosks at about 100 Target stores. Zacks Investment Research]]></description>
