Retail Intelligence Report US Retail Heavyweights Rebound Wal-Mart, which benefited this past Christmas from a revived layaway program, for two straight quarters has seen higher sales at U.S. stores open at least a year, beginning to rebound from a two-year slump. But the fourth quarter's 1.5% comparable-store increase came at a cost: Profits fell 15% versus the year before, largely because the store chain has been reducing prices as part of an aggressive strategy to win back business it lost during a misguided store revamp.

Retail Intelligence Report Sears sales struggles continue as fourth-quarter profit slides Declining sales of appliances and apparel at its namesake department stores cited for 13% drop-off Sears Holdings Corp.'s fourth-quarter profit fell 13 percent as the retailer continues to struggle with declining sales of appliances and apparel at its namesake department stores.

Retail Intelligence Report In Retreat, Sears Set to Unload Stores After seven years of trying to rebuild the iconic retailer Sears, hedge-fund manager Edward Lampert reversed course on Thursday, announcing that Sears Holdings Corp. will unload more than 1,200 stores in an effort to raise up to $770 million of much-needed cash. Many on Wall Street interpreted the move as the beginning of the breakup of the company. Sears on Thursday reported a loss of more than $3 billion for 2011, and same-store sales have fallen for six straight years. The company's shares, which fell below $30 last month, rose almost 19% on Thursday to $61.80 on news of the asset sales. Wall Street Journal 2/24/12
Retail Intelligence Report Sears to Unload Assets Some retail analysts worry that unloading assets could ultimately hurt Sears's prospects.

Getting rid of them, he said, "actually makes the situation more precarious long-term." Wall Street Journal 2/24/12
