| Best to buy hits slump,デュベチカ 通販
The nation's economic woes apparently have caught up with its largest consumer electronics retailer,デュベティカ 激安. Best Buy Co. Inc. slashed its profit and revenue forecasts for fiscal 2008 Friday,デュベティカ 激安, warning that the weak economy will mean fewer sales of flat-screen televisions, MP3 players and video games. The Richfield-based company said hello now expects to earn $3.05 to $3.10 per share,ダウンジャケットレディース, down from the previous estimate of $3.10 to $3.20 a share. "The macro-economic environment grew more challenging after the holidays,デュベティカ ダウンジャケット," interim Chief Financial Officer Jim Muehlbauer said in a statement. "Our post-holiday results are not going to be what we originally expected." Best Buy shares fell 2.5 percent, or $1.15,デュベチカ 通販, to shut Friday at $44.62. The stock has dropped 16 percent since December. Sales at stores open for at least a year will rise 2.5 percent to three percent for fiscal 2008,デュベチカ 通販, which ends March 1,ダウンジャケットメンズ, Best Buy said,デュベティカダウンジャケット, in contrast to its earlier projection of the 4 % gain. The company expects same-stores sales to fall slightly within the fourth quarter. The economical slump appeared to catch Best to buy off guard. Buoyed with a strong third quarter,デュベティカ 店舗, by which profits jumped 52 percent,http://duveticaitaliaoutlet.webmium.com/, the company in December raised its annual profit forecast and suggested 2008 could be another strong year. "We're basically very optimistic concerning the long-term future because so many elements of what we're bringing to market appear to be working at this stage,モンクレール," Chief Executive Brad Anderson told the Star Tribune at the time. "We're very bullish on in which the year will finish,ダウンジャケットduvetica. Even more so . we believe the horizon for that company the year after is excellent,cheap jordans shoes." But January turned out to be a soft month as consumers favored discounted items instead of the higher-priced merchandise Best to buy had hoped they'd buy, analysts say. "For several retailers,Duvetica Down Jackets Duvetica Women for sale, business was nonexistent in January,ダウンジャケットレディース," said Lauri Brunner,http://duveticapiuminiitalia.webmium.com/, an analyst with Minneapolis-based Thrivent Investment Management,デュベティカ取扱店神戸, which owns 1.3 million shares of Best Buy stock. "Consumers are searching for events. For that other days of a few days,ダウンジャケットduvetica, there is not a reason to look." With the exception of the Northeast,デュベティカ 店舗, sales of flat-screen televisions for that Super Bowl also did not materialize,デュベティカ 激安, she said. The economic malaise has affected retailers across the board. Target Corp. said January same-stores sales fell 1.1 percent compared with last year. The Minneapolis-based discount retailer,http://parajumperssalefreeshippings.blogspot.com/, usually more safe from shifting economic winds than its competitors, predicted earnings for the last three months of the season likely would drop in contrast to last year. Struggling consumer-electronics retailer Circuit City Stores Inc. recently said it has grown its line of credit by $800 million. A sales slowdown coupled with falling prices for electronics like GPS devices and flat-screen televisions will squeeze Best Buy's profit margins,デュベティカ ダウンジャケット, he explained. The government government's recently passed economic stimulus package can give 100's of dollars in tax rebates to consumers, starting in May. But Beemer said the stimulus package will do little to assist Best Buy because consumers will use those funds to repay debt and purchase lower-ticket things like food,http://cheapsoccershoesoutlet.blogspot.com/, shoes and clothing. In addition, there aren't any new products to excite consumers,デュベティカ 激安, analysts say. "Best Buy is at the top of its game when there is new technology and people do not understand it,デュベティカ ダウンジャケット," Brunner said. Staying the course Despite the economic turmoil,cheap soccer shoes outlet, Best Buy executives say they will press ahead with their long-term growth plans. The organization still intends to open 85 to 100 stores in the United States and 40 to 50 stores overseas in 2009. "We're consciously choosing not to withdraw on our investments, even just in a difficult economy,Ricarda Christina and Peuterey Jacket With Front Pockets for sale, because we're making the bet that the opportunities are rich,デュベチカ 通販, within the long term,デュベティカアウトレット," Anderson said in a statement. economy regains its momentum, we feel that our results can have those to be good investments." But that strategy has analysts split,デュベティカ 激安. Mitch Kaiser,デュベティカダウンジャケット, an analyst with Minneapolis-based Piper Jaffray Co.,Duvetica Piumini Italia Outlet Shop Duvetica Down Jackets Uomo, thinks Best to buy has a good strategy. The development initiatives will allow Best Buy to capture much more share of the market from weaker rivals like Circuit City,デュベティカ ダウンジャケット, said Kaiser,ダウンジャケットレディース, who maintained a "buy" on Best to buy stock. But Brunner of Thrivent is not so sure. Most retailers are choosing to pay attention to closing underperforming stores and controlling costs. Best Buy does "the opposite," she said. Opening more stores in the face of weak same-store sales will limit Best Buy's ability to control expenses and inventory, Brunner said. "Best Buy may have limited capability to produce upside earnings surprises," she said. Opening new stores "is not an appropriate strategy for the days we're in. 相关的主题文章： http://www.nachmanyfootball.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=158931 http://www.litblu.com/node/8#comment-457621 http://www.cnyunwei.net/ http://luntan.0375.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=6738 http://www.roomikdesign.co.jp/blog/2011/10/bonjour50s-6.html#comments http://fengzhiyi6.tydf.cn/ http://www.600kz.com/read.php?tid=328 http://www.fhdy.net/ http://34188.com/read.php?tid=10661 http://dg.berui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=869732 http://jinhuiyuefu.com:8080/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=36281 http://www.mingmo.cc/home.php?mod=space&uid=41079 http://park7.wakwak.com/~nymidi/cgi-bin/Y1dicPbUXGVlxwg5TR4vX/light.cgi?res=514 http://mebius.meloncola.com/2013/06/end.html.html#comments http://consonlinestore.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=85341 |
