		<description><![CDATA[February 2012 proved another strong month for Ross Stores Inc. (ROST), the largest off-price apparel and home fashion chain in U.S., with sales and same store sales numbers showing substantial improvement and coming out above expectations. Ross Stores’ same-store sales for four weeks ended February 25, 2012 rose 9%, above the February 2011 same-store sales. Net sales for the period marked an increase of 14% to $677 million from $595 million reported in the four weeks ended February 26, 2011. Robust February results, which marked a solid start to fiscal 2012, were driven mainly by favorable weather conditions in a majority of the markets where the company operates. This, in turn, resulted in improved broad-based merchandise and geographic trends. Looking ahead into the first quarter of 2012, the company expects ]]></description>

February 2012 sales Net sales for the four-week period ended February 25, 2012 increased 6% to $874 million compared with net sales of $821 million in the prior-year period.

Last January, Gap registered a decline of 4% in same-store sales for the four-week period ended January 28, 2012, with sales declining across the board.

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most amazing aspects of this economic recovery has been the resiliency of the American consumer. Given a banking/housing/credit crisis that nearly melted down the economy, you would have thought that high-end luxury retailers like Tiffany &#38; Co. (TIF) and Coach (COH) and upper-tier department stores like Nordstrom (JWN) and Macy&#8217;s (M) would have suffered the most. To the contrary, these were terrific investments as their earnings continued to surprise quarter after quarter. The consumer was not hunkering down in Wal-Mart (WMT) or Kohl&#8217;s (KSS). She was out shopping like nobody&#8217;s business. More on that surprising trend of the past two years in a moment. Now Comes the Recession? Well, the high-end may still do well, but it finally happened. Fears of a double-dip drove both shoppers and ]]></description>

Gap is one of the leading players in the highly fragmented specialty retail sector offering a diverse range of clothing, accessories and personal care products for men, women, children and babies. Its flagship brands include Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, Piperlime and Athleta. Gap’s globally recognized brands complement one another, enabling it to leverage its position in the sector. Moreover, in a drive to boost international operations, Gap consolidated its foreign business under one division from London. Lackluster sales in North America compelled the company to explore markets overseas. In order to counter the domestic market saturation, Gap is aiming to generate 30% of total sales from its overseas operations and online business by 2013. To achieve this end, Gap has ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are currently downgrading our long-term recommendation on Citi Trends Inc. (CTRN) to Underperform from Neutral based on the company&#8217;s disappointing second-quarter 2011 results. Citi Trends&#8217; falling comparable store sales, coupled with rising input costs and operating expenses, battered the second-quarter 2011 results. The company witnessed a quarterly loss of 69 cents per share that broadened 17 folds from the prior-period loss of 4 cents. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter was a loss of 64 cents per share. Moreover, due to uncertainty hovering around sales, the company rolled back its earnings guidance range of $1.25 to $1.35 per share for fiscal 2011. The company decided not to provide any guidelines unless it finds any near-term catalysts to drive sales. Moreover, Citi Trends also reduced its projection of new ]]></description>

This was the first time since early July that the Dow and the S&#38;P 500 registered two consecutive days of gains. However, the magnitude of losses that the benchmarks had suffered could not be entirely washed out and all the benchmarks were down less than 2% for the week. On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) recorded its fifth-straight day of triple-digit movement for the first time since January last year. The Dow was up 125 points or 1.1% to close the day at 11,269.02. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) gained 0.5% and settled at 1,178.81.

		<description><![CDATA[TJX Companies Inc. (TJX) raised its quarterly dividend by 27%. The company’s Board approved a hike in the quarterly dividend to 19 cents per share to be paid on June 2, 2011 to stockholders of record on May 12, 2011. The increased dividend reflects the company’s sound financial position and well-defined future prospects. Signs of recovery in the economy have made share buybacks and dividend increases a common factor among companies sitting on ample cash.

TJX’s consolidated comparable store sales increased 6% for the 26-week period ended July 31, 2010. For the period, TJX recorded sales of $10.1 billion, an 11% increase over the $9.1 billion in the comparable period last year.

The four-week moving average &#8212; which, given the inherent volatility of the weekly measures is generally considered a better measure to watch &#8212; rose by 2,250 to 450,250. As the graph below shows (from http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/) we are still in a much better place than we were a year ago, when the four-week average stood at 643,000. After declining sharply and steadily in the last eight months of 2009, the behavior of initial jobless claims has turned erratic in 2010.

Consolidated comparable store sales jumped 8% year-over-year. Management said business throughout the Thanksgiving week and weekend was strong and our fourth quarter is off to a great start, adding that with the important month of December still ahead, the company is maintaining its guidance for fourth-quarter fiscal 2010 earnings per share from continuing operations to be in the range of 65 to 71 cents. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has been upped to 73 cents since the TJX sales figures came out in early December. Last month, the forecast was 71 cents.

		<description><![CDATA[Kimco Realty Corporation (KIM), a real estate investment trust (REIT), has recently announced plans to issue 25 million shares to raise cash to repay debt. The company will also grant the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase an additional 3.8 million shares to cover any over-allotments. Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. is the book-running manager for the public offering. Kimco will utilize the proceeds from the equity offering to partially repay the outstanding debt under its $1.5 billion unsecured U.S. revolving credit facility. The credit facility is scheduled to mature in Oct 2011, although Kimco has an option to extend it by one more year.

		<description><![CDATA[Initial claims for unemployment insurance (or jobless claims) fell to 502,000 last week &#8212; a drop of 12,000 from last week&#8217;s revised level (and 10,000 from last week’s unrevised level). That brought the four-week moving average down to 519,750 &#8212; a decline of 4,500 from last week, and of 139,000 from its mid-April peak. That was the lowest level of initial claims since the first week of January (when the numbers were distorted due to the New Years Holiday). As the chart below (from http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/) shows, that was probably the high point for this cycle. The decline has been quite smooth and steady &#8212; unlike the experience of the last two economic downturns, where after an initial decline, claims leveled off and remained high for an extended period of time. ]]></description>
