News of JB Hi-Fi holding up well and other retailers in the discretionary end managing the softer landing makes for nice reading. A lack of OS travel and rates pausing seems to have put more dollars in the pocket for domestic retail spend. Here’s hoping the good news on rates and a more stable economy plays out for 2024. Much needed after a volatile 2023. #retail #emusearch

Kingfisher PLC (LSE:KGF), the owner of B&Q, traded 1.5% lower on Monday after it was downgraded by analysts at the Royal Bank of Canada (TSX:RY). Experts at the bank dropped the retailer from ‘outperform’ to ‘sector perform’, claiming its guidance for France and near-term earnings could be overconfident. Additionally, they believe other UK retailers like B&M European Value Retail SA (LSE:BME) offer better potential upsides. Kingfisher is the second most shorted London stock, according to ADVFN, with around a 6.5% net short position. RBC analysts said: “ The French home improvement market, where Kingfisher has a number two position, has been soft in recent quarters, and we think it will take time for consumer concern over macro factors to ease. Despite the downgrade, RBC noted how the retailer is continuing to improve its offering, while in the UK, strong trading is allowing it to deliver healthy free...

The government is considering various options to discourage retail participation in the F&O segment. A few comments by the FM and RBI Governor raised concerns. A month ago, FM Nirmala Sitharaman had said, “Any unchecked explosion in retail trading in F&O can create future challenges not just for the markets, but for investor sentiment and also for household finances.” “Options and futures volumes are larger than the nominal GDP of the country. We have discussed this matter with SEBI, and they will deal with it,” RBI Governor. While the increasing number of retail investors getting attracted towards the F&O market is not a problem in itself, a Sebi report has said that around 90% retail investors end up losing money in the derivatives market. Need to wait until the Budget in July 2024 if any action is taken. #F&O #Budget #Tax

#unfi UNFI just reported Q2 Earnings.  UNFI is North America’s premier grocery wholesaler delivering the widest variety of fresh, branded, and owned brand products to more than 30,000 locations throughout North America. * UNFI achieved record net sales in the latest quarter, but profitability suffered unexpectedly. UNFI lowered its expectations for fiscal year 2023, with a decrease in net income and EPS forecasts. Their Q2 EBITDA margin was less than 2%. * Legacy issues with digital infrastructure and limited real-time data hindered UNFI's visibility into profitability drivers. * Interestingly, UNFI's private brand performance grew by double digits in Q2, indicating potential for further growth in that segment. One would expect UNFI to make good profits due to their high sales volume and unique position in the industry. It's doing a few things to fix that: * UNFI is focused on a transformation agenda to strengthen its performance, including increasing distribution network automation, simplifying pricing and procurement processes, enhancing digital offerings, and modernizing digital infrastructure. * UNFI made changes to their Supplier Policy that have received mixed reactions from their brand partners. These changes aim to give brands more access to data like inventory levels, which could help smaller brands compete better and make smarter decisions. Smaller brands might pay less for certain fees, but larger brands could end up paying more, possibly eating into their profits. Since there are more small brands than big ones working with UNFI, many suppliers might actually appreciate the new policy for its transparency and fee reductions. * UNFI has made several changes to the c-suite, including a new CFO starting in April. It seems like UNFI is pulling all the right levers. Expected outcomes may be a few quarters out! Why the stock price tanked? see comments
