Retail sales climbed 0.7% month-over-month in March, surpassing the consensus expectation for a 0.4% increase, although marking a slowdown from February's adjusted pace of 0.9%. Year-over-year, retail sales were up 4.0% in March. The category including building material, garden equipment, and supplies dealers saw a 0.7% month-over-month increase and a 0.6% year-over-year decline in March, potentially benefiting Home Depot (HD) and Lowe's Companies (LOW). Telsey Advisory Group analyst Joe Feldman stated that the firm's latest Housing Scorecard indicates a housing market that has bottomed and is improving, leading to a more positive outlook for Home Depot (HD), Lowe's Companies (LOW), and Floor & Decor (FND). General merchandise stores saw solid momentum ( 1.1% M/M, 5.7% Y/Y) as did nonstore retailers ( 2.7% M/M, 11.3% Y/Y), potentially benefiting Walmart (WMT), Target (TGT), Costco (COST), and Amazon (AMZN). Conversely, department stores experienced a sales slump (-1.1% M/M, -2.5% Y/Y) affecting Dillard's (DDS), Macy's (M), Kohl's (KSS), and Nordstrom (JWN). Grocery stores also saw slower sales growth ( 0.5% M/M, 1.1% Y/Y) relevant to Kroger (KR) and Albertsons Companies (ACI). Capital Economics Chief U.S. Economist Andrew Hunter believes the report could bolster the argument for the Federal Reserve to delay rate increases, suggesting a potential delay until September. The SPDR S&P Retail ETF (NYSEARCA:XRT) gained 1.05% in early trading on Monday, outpacing the broad market. Notable retail gainers included Lululemon (LULU) 2.11%, Foot Locker (FL) 2.10%, Dollar Tree (DLTR) 2.08%, Etsy (ETSY) 1.65%, and Target (TGT) 1.55%.
