StockCall Study on Limited Brands, American Eagle Outfitters, Wendy's, and Yum! Brands
LONDON, March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
According to a report released by the Commerce Department last week, retail sales in the U.S. rose 1.1% in February. The retail sales data beat expectations and highlighted the improving outlook for the U.S. economy. The data suggests that the improvement in labor and housing markets has boosted consumer confidence and consumers are willing to spend. This augurs well for apparel companies such as Limited Brands Inc. (NYSE: LTD), and American Eagle Outfitters Inc. (NYSE: AEO), as well as for restaurant companies such as The Wendy's Company (NASDAQ: WEN), and Yum! Brands Inc. (NYSE: YUM). All four stocks ended lower on Monday, though, tracking losses in the broad market, which fell amid concerns over the Eurozone.
