Abstract

Profits are slowing in the retail industry in 1995, due to high promotion levels and and erratic same-store sales. Large item sales and low wage growth are also affecting retail earnings. Consolidation is continuing industry-wide, especially among larger department stores, such as Federated, Macy's, and Wal-Mart. Retail stocks are volatile and investors need to watch Beta trends and other measures before investment.
