Abstract

The article reports on the financial performance of various household retailers for the third-quarter of 2007. While results may have differed, most retailers shared anticipations of a somewhat difficult upcoming holiday sales season. Wal-Mart's net sales rose 8.8% to $90.9 billion from the year-ago period on a 1.5 percent same-store sales gain. According to Myron Ullman, chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of J.C. Penney, the company is bullish on the launch of the American Living home and apparel line from Ralph Lauren in February 2008.
