Retail sales in April showed a disappointing lack of growth compared to March, with a 3.0% year-over-year increase. Weakness was observed in furniture & home furnishing stores (-0.5% M/M, -8.4% Y/Y), potentially impacting companies like Williams-Sonoma, Wayfair, and RH. Health & personal care store spending also decreased (-0.6% M/M, -0.3% Y/Y), with potential implications for Walgreen Boots Alliance, Ulta Beauty, e.l.f. Beauty, Warby Parker, and Sally Beauty. Nonstore retailers had mixed results (-1.2% M/M, 7.5% Y/Y), partly influenced by the timing of Easter. Amazon, Walmart, and Target continue to dominate online retail sales. Grocery stores outperformed in April ( 0.6% M/M, 1.9% Y/Y), despite moderated food price inflation. The April CPI report indicated a 2.2% year-over-year increase in the food category, with food at home up just 1.1%. Grocery store stocks like Kroger, Sprouts Farmers Market, Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage, Weis Markets, and Village Super Market have all experienced double-digit rallies this year. National Retail Federation Chief Economist Jack Kleinhenz noted that despite compressing household income and job growth, consumer spending remains positive. He attributed the softer spending pace to consumer selectivity and prioritization of retail purchases, while acknowledging consumer willingness to spend despite challenges from high inflation for services and higher interest rates.
