		<description><![CDATA[We have a long-term Neutral recommendation on OfficeMax Inc. (OMX) with a price target of $6.00. The company provides office supplies and paper, print and document services, technology products and solutions as well as office furniture to business firms, government organizations and other retail consumers. How the Company Balances As the recovery in the economy still remains sluggish, consumers and small businesses remain frugal about big-ticket spending like business machines and other durables. Therefore, we believe that the demand for office products is closely tied to the health of the economy. Consequently, OfficeMax is repositioning itself to keep afloat in a difficult consumer environment. The company is containing costs, closing underperforming stores and focusing on innovative products and services, which should all contribute to margin improvements. Further, the company also ]]></description>

(MMM), the maker of Post-it notes and Scotch Tape, for $550 million in cash. The Office and Consumer Products segment contributed approximately 13% to Avery’s total revenue in fiscal 2010 and in the most recently reported third quarter of 2011. The segment manufactures and sells a wide range of office and printable media products under the Avery brand name for office, school and home uses. The segment also offers an array of stationery products, including writing instruments, markers, adhesives and specialty products under popular brand names such as Avery, Marks-A-Lot and HI-LITER. This is a long-struggling segment of Avery with weak end market demand, facing cutthroat competition in the label category. Margins have ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the largest online retailers, Amazon.com Inc (AMZN), continues to oppose sales tax collection by offering to create jobs instead. Thanks to the weak jobs scenario and consistently depressing jobs reports, regulators that had once been hungry to narrow deficits are now seriously considering the cost of job creation. A few states appear to have taken the bait (South Carolina and Tennessee) according to a Forbes report, although agreements are far from concrete and are now up against much controversy and opposition from brick and mortar outfits. Wares from these retailers appear more expensive when compared with those from online retailers, since they are forced by law to collect taxes on behalf of their respective states. As the growth in online retail continues at a rapid pace, largely at ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bloomberg reports that Office Depot (ODP), the second-largest U.S. office-supply chain, could merge with OfficeMax Incorporated (OMX). Intense competition among the office supply retailers coupled with a high unemployment rate may result in industry consolidation. As per the data provided by Bloomberg, Office Depot’s market value has dropped 90% to $1.16 billion in the last five years, while OfficeMax has a value of $664 million after tumbling 78%. Office Depot supplies a range of office products and services across the globe. The company has operations throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and Central America. The company, which has been persistently losing market share to industry stalwarts, recently posted lower-than-expected first-quarter 2011 results. The underperformance can be traced back to sluggish sales across each business segment that suffered due to lower customer ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Office Depot (ODP), which has been persistently losing market share to industry stalwarts, recently posted lower-than-expected first-quarter 2011 results. The under performance can be traced back to sluggish sales across each business segment that suffered due to lower customer transaction counts and the divestiture of businesses in Japan and Israel. The company reported a 3.2% drop in the top-line and a break-even bottom-line, with both falling short of the Zacks Consensus Estimates. A sales decline of 3% at the contract channel of the company&#8217;s North American Business Solutions division following failure to retain customers during the shift to the new purchasing consortium was also a first-quarter event. Further, we remain cautious about the macroeconomic environment and sluggish job market with small businesses and consumers still remaining watchful on their spending. ]]></description>

However, the markets’ upward movement was subdued somewhat due to investors’ cautious attitude towards European debt crisis, tensions between the two Korean nations and apprehensions about the tax-cuts deal agreement. Nonetheless, the upward movement of the markets resulted in the indices gaining their two-year highs. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.35% to 11,410. The Standard &#38; Poor&#8217;s 500 Index rose 0.60% to 1,240.40 and closed at its highest level since September 2008. The Nasdaq was up 0.80% to close at 2,637.54 and reached its highest level since end of 2007. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) rose above 17. On the New York Stock Exchange, the advance decline ratio was 2:1 and 4.5 ]]></description>

Analysts expected earnings of 93 cents a share, but the company delivered a far more impressive $1.07 per share. And now the stock is poised to top two-year highs. It could be the greatest turnaround story of the year. After all, it was only last year that the company was on the brink of collapse.

		<description><![CDATA[We are maintaining a Neutral rating on Staples Inc. (SPLS), the world’s leading retailer of office products and services, with a target price of $24.00. Staples, which anticipates a moderate recovery in the economy in fiscal 2010, is making prudent investments in the highly fragmented North American retail market. The company intends to expand its business technology (EasyTech) and copy-and-print services that generate higher profit margins, while enhancing its core supply categories such as ink and toner. Moreover, the acquisition of Corporate Express has not only enhanced Staples’ global reach but also added large contract businesses to its portfolio, helping achieve significant purchasing synergies and reducing overhead expenses considerably. Staples has been actively managing its cash flows. During fiscal 2009, the company generated a free cash flow of $1.8 billion, ]]></description>

Framingham, Massachusetts-based, Staples, said that the higher dividend will be paid on April 15, 2010, to shareholders of record as on March 26, 2010. Staples’ strong liquidity provides financial flexibility to drive future growth and reward shareholders. Staples had ended fiscal year 2009 with cash and cash equivalents of $1,415.8 million and generated free cash flow of $1.8 billion during the year. The company had returned $237 million in cash dividends to shareholders in 2009. The company had recently reported its fourth-quarter 2009 quarterly earnings, which ]]></description>

Full year 2009 revenues were $12.1 billion, down 16% from 2008, principally driven by adverse economic conditions throughout the company’s sales territories.

During full year 2009, gross profits fell 15.3% despite a 16.6% drop in the cost of goods sold.

		<description><![CDATA[by Marc Lichtenfeld, Advisory Panelist Friday, February 12, 2010: Issue #1196 The latest government data showed that the U.S. economy expanded strongly during the fourth quarter of 2009, galloping along at an annualized 5.7% GDP growth rate. Now admittedly, numbers like this get revised more often than a five-year-old’s alibi when questioned about a broken vase. But given that GDP contracted by 5.4% in the fourth quarter of 2008, that’s quite a comeback. Those with their glasses half-empty are skeptical of the economy’s apparent resurgence. They point to the restocking of inventories as the major catalyst for the reported growth. Additionally, there are still millions who are unemployed, but can’t find work. Still, it’s hard to argue that there aren’t some signs of life in the economy. Last weekend, I ]]></description>

The company had earned 18 cents in the year-ago quarter. Results were driven by higher-than-expected revenue increases. Also, key operating metrics remained strong. The company reported a 27% year-over-year increase in revenue to $145.1 million. Gross margin improved 290 basis points from the year-ago quarter to 63.6%. The results were impacted positively by lower shipping costs Incorporatedluding some one-time shipping-related rebates, labor efficiencies, favorable product mix shifts and improved materials pricing, which more than offset higher overhead costs and lower referral revenues.
