Dropping tourism numbers and consumers saving rather than spending money saved from lower gas prices will affect retailer earnings announcements, say industry analysts.
Several retailers will be making earnings announcements this week: Macy’s on Wednesday, Dillard’s, Kohl’s and Nordstrom on Thursday, and JC Penney on Friday. Analysts report that value retailers with loyalty programs like Kohl’s should report better results than others.
Although retailers saw a weak first two quarters of 2015, analysts are optimistic about the second half of the year looking better. In the apparel and general merchandise category, jewelry is doing well and cosmetics are doing extremely well.
