		<description><![CDATA[Regis Corporation (RGS) reported a year-over-year decline of 1.7% in same-store sales. However, the rate of decline in comps improved from the year-ago quarterly drop of 2.7% and the third quarter plunge of 2.3%, attributable to higher customer footfalls. The several initiatives taken by Regis to drive traffic seems to have paid off as customer visits improved 150 basis points (bps) over the last nine months, but still plunged 2.5%. Moreover, Regis, the largest hair salon chain in the world, posted revenues of $592 million for the fourth quarter, up 0.3% year over year. Domestic same-store sales fell 1.6% year over year while International same-store sales decreased 5.5%. However, hair restoration same-store sales rose 1.3% in the quarter. Results remained weak in the company’s relatively higher-priced, mall-based Regis Salon division, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are upgrading our rating on Regis Corporation (RGS), the largest hair salon chain in the world, from Underperform to Neutral. The rating upgrade is based on a host of initiatives taken by the company to drive traffic and enhance same-store sales growth. To attract new customers and retain existing ones, Regis has installed a point of sale (POS) system as well as Internet connections in all salons. The company has already equipped more than 2000 salons with this facility and plans to equip another 1,000 salons in each subsequent quarter. The full system-wide roll out is expected to be completed by June 2012, and it will enable RGS to store customer data that will enable the company to interact with its customers directly, thereby developing loyalty programs. Regis is ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Merge Healthcare&#8217;s (MRGE) first quarter 2011 adjusted EPS of $0.03 was below the year-ago quarter&#8217;s $0.05. The company also experienced a 950 bps contraction in gross margin. Moreover, Merge has improved its sales force, but as a result, operating margin was down by 196 bps. Furthermore, the company&#8217;s increased interest expense affected its bottom line during the quarter. Although there is immense potential in the diagnostic imaging market, we remain concerned about the competitive scenario and macro economic headwinds. Consequently we downgrade Merge to Underperform.

		<description><![CDATA[Regis Corp.&#8217;s (RGS) third quarter 2011 earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate due to sluggish same-store sales and lower margin. The economic downturn has severely impacted the company&#8217;s earnings in the last few quarters, and Regis now expects same-store sales to be in the range of -1% to +1% for 2012, reflecting persistent economic challenges. Slower traffic due to economic concerns remains a drag on same-store sales. Moreover, Regis outlook remains below consensus, as consumer-visit pattern is not rebounding quickly. Consumers across the globe are cutting back on expenditures, which is resulting in a slowdown in spending and longer recesses between salon visits. The company also faces lingering risk from fashion changes. Hence, we maintain our Underperform rating on the stock. REGIS CORP/MN (RGS): Free Stock Analysis Report Zacks Investment ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are upgrading our rating on Regis Corporation (RGS), the largest hair salon chain in the world, from Underperform to Neutral. The rating upgrade is based on first quarter 2011 earnings, which were in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Results reflect the benefits of cost-containment measures and improved customer traffic. Additionally, the company has a proven track record of growth through both acquisitions, as well as new salon construction. Moreover, we expect Regis to substantially benefit, given an improvement in economic conditions and consumer spending. During the third quarter, management highlighted that it is currently experiencing positive same-store sales for the month of October, thus indicating improved customer traffic. In fiscal 2011, Regis will focus on its top-line growth and expects same-store sales to improve, with positive comps anticipated ]]></description>

The company has reported a 2.7% decline in revenue from the prior-year quarter to $588 million. Consumer behavior has altered in this difficult economic environment. People are cutting back on expenditures, resulting in a slowdown in spending and a lengthening of salon visitation patterns. Domestic same-store sales were down 1.8% while International same-store sales decreased 4.8%. However, Hair restoration same-store sales increased 1.4% in the quarter. Regis will announce its second quarter 2010 earnings results on Apr 28, 2010.

		<description><![CDATA[Regis Corporation (RGS) reported fiscal second-quarter 2010 net profit of $18.2 million or 30 cents per share. Excluding an actuarial gain, the company had earned 28 cents a share in the reported quarter. The results were ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 26 cents. The company had incurred a loss of $143.3 million or $3.34 per share in the prior-year quarter. Results reflect the benefits of the cost containment measures and improvements in gross margins. Revenues for the quarter were down 2% from the prior-year quarter to $575 million, primarily due to less foot traffic at its salons. Consolidated same-store sales decreased 3.7%. Domestic same-store sales were down 4.0% while International same-store sales decreased 1.6%. Hair Restoration same-store sales increased only 0.1% in the quarter.
