Retail Climate Still Dicey after Passage of Bailout Bill

October 3rd, 2008 · 1 Comment

The $700 billion bailout bill finally passed the House of Representatives today, albeit, with some changes and additions to the bill’s original form.  While the day did see a slight bump upward for retail stocks, the S&P Retail Index closed lower than it did yesterday, and overall the index is down 11.7% from a week ago (WWD - subscription required).

One of today’s biggest losers was big box, Dillard’s, which ended the day at $11.06 per share- a 8.9% drop.  I dread seeing the numbers this upcoming holiday season.
