Report: Retailers Move Away From Monthly Comps
Some mainstream retailers are choosing not to report monthly same store sales, according to a recent news report. Retailers such as Bebe, Guess and Talbots are opting to report quarterly sales instead, saying that monthly comps fail to take calendar shifts and seasonal disruptions into account and often miss larger trends.
If the movement away from comps continues it may be harder for stockholders and industry watchers to gauge the current temperature of the retail market. However, some retailers feel that the quarterly numbers better represent market activity.
