		<description><![CDATA[Markets opted to take a pause after a recent rally, as mixed economic data and a session featuring light volumes meant benchmarks ended Tuesday’s session on a flat note. Given the Christmas overhang, consolidated volumes remained substantively low, and final minutes’ movement took the Dow slightly lower to end its winning run of four consecutive trading days. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) slipped 2.6 points or 0.02% to finish the day at 12,291.35. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) also remained almost unchanged at 1,265.43, gaining 0.01%. The Nasdaq Composite Index was up 0.3% and finished yesterday’s trading session at 2,625.20. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) went up 5.7% to settle at 21.91. Consolidated volumes on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), NYSE Amex and Nasdaq, were ]]></description>

The company’s persistent effort to keep itself on the growth trajectory has paid off in an economy, whose turmoil seems to have no end. Initiatives Taken Macy’s sustained focus on price optimization, inventory management, merchandise planning and private label offering, positions it to drive traffic, meet customer-oriented demand and improve the shopping experience. In an attempt to increase sales, profitability and cash flows, the company has been taking steps such as integration of operations, consolidation of divisions as well as developing the e-commerce business and online order fulfillment centers.

We remain optimistic about the company’s customer-centric localization initiative called ‘My Macy’s.’ The program aims at improving comparable-store sales and reducing operating expenses, with stores and merchandise assortments focusing on local customer needs and preferences. These help the company to deliver better-than-expected second-quarter 2011 results on the heels of healthy sales, improved operating margin and effective cost management. The quarterly earnings of 55 cents a share outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 47 cents, and jumped 57.1% from 35 cents earned in the prior-year quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[Markets ended their four-day winning streak, tumbling in the late session, as the Federal Reserve slashed its growth forecast and provided no indications of further economic stimulus. All the benchmarks dropped by around 0.7% during a thin trading session, and investors were mostly spurred to sell their shares. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) closed at 12,109.67, after dropping 0.7%. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) declined 0.7% to settle at 1,287.17. The Nasdaq Composite Index also shed 0.7% to close at 2,669.19. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) dropped modestly to hover below 19. On the New York Stock Exchange, AMEX and Nasdaq, consolidated volumes were 6.2 billion shares, lower than the daily average of 7.58 billion. On the NYSE, for every 17 stocks that declined, only 12 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a thin trading session on Monday, markets were on track for a finish in the positive zone as fears around the Greece debt crisis subsided. The technology, consumer and energy sectors chalked up gains after the benchmarks ended their six week losing streak. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 0.6% to finish at 12,080.38. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was up 0.5% and settled at 1,278.36. The Nasdaq Composite Index finally settled in the green after three consecutive days of losses, climbing 0.5% to close at 2,629.66.

		<description><![CDATA[Insight from Fiscal 2010 Fiscal 2010 was a year of hard work, involving the continuous streamlining of internal processes. To that end, retailers concentrated on aligning inventories with sales, improving operating efficiencies and spending on technology. These focused efforts helped retailers enter fiscal 2011 with a more optimistic outlook. Foresight for Fiscal 2011 While challenges no doubt still abound, retailers appear to be in a good position to take advantage of a much improved economy. Retailers are now hoping to focus more on bringing new concepts to stores and luring customers by the age-old marketing ploy of replacing customer needs by wants. On the operational front, retailers would like to hone their supply chains and maintain lean inventory levels. Keys to Success The National Retail Federation (NRF) estimates that retail ]]></description>

However, caution ahead of today’s monthly payroll data restrained traders from making big moves. As traders chose to play it safe, volume dipped sharply. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 51 points, or 0.5%, to 10,320.10. The blue-chip average had jumped 254 points on Wednesday on better-than-expected manufacturing reports in China and the U.S. The Standard &#38; Poor&#8217;s 500 index advanced 10 points, or 0.9%, to 1,090.10, while the Nasdaq composite index climbed 23.17, or 1.1%, to 2,200.01.

		<description><![CDATA[The departmental store chain, Dillard Inc. (DDS), witnessed an upbeat of 2% in same store sales as well as net sales for the five-week ended July 3, 2010. Sales were $506 million for the month as compared with $497 million in the prior comparable month. Dillard saw an above-average sale in the Eastern region, while revenues from the Western and Central regions were below trend. The sales performance in the cosmetics category was significantly low. The Late Memorial Day weekend gave a strong momentum to sales in June, which eventually tailed off by the middle of the month. We believe the consumer spending still reflects the scars of the recession. The late Memorial Day only shifted the weekend holiday-related sales to June 2010 boosting the sales to some extent.

		<description><![CDATA[Dillard&#8217;s (DDS) is large departmental store chain, featuring fashion apparel and home furnishings. Management is undertaking restructuring initiatives and inventory reduction efforts to save costs and boost profitability, which augur well for future operating performance. Moreover, the company has a strong balance sheet. And for the fourth quarter of 2009, the company reported strong results with earnings of $1.03 which outpaced the Zacks Consensus of $0.50. Our long-term recommendation on Dillard&#8217;s is Outperform as we anticipate it to perform well above the broader market. However, intense competition from other established players and factors such as consumer preferences and spending patterns undermines the company&#8217;s future growth prospects and profitability.
