Consumer spending cracks show up in earnings — short struggling retailers
Retailers are struggling: Petco and Five Below both reported weak financials, with Five Below's growth potentially peaking and Hong Kong bank restrictions are also dragging down financial stocks.
Idea
Consumer spending is showing cracks as inflation and high rates squeeze household budgets. Petco's poor earnings and Five Below's slowing growth suggest the discretionary retail sector is running out of steam. When retailers warn that their growth is stalling, it usually takes months for the trend to reverse, making these stocks vulnerable to further declines.
