Steve critiques the choice of an insider CEO while Ethan provides Placer.ai traffic data showing continuing traffic declines. The group debates Target's future—whether its famed “Tar-zhay” positioning can be revived by refocusing on differentiation. From there, they contrast Target's struggles with Walmart's momentum, exploring how digital sales, retail media, and membership growth continue to power the world's largest retailer's outsized performance..Speaking of Amazon, the trio examines the company's great expanded same-day grocery delivery, setting up a fresh battleground with Walmart. They also analyze the broader bifurcation of retail, where premium players and discounters gain share while middle-market brands face mounting challenges.Moving on the episode digs into the most talked about stories making headlines. Topics include the Cracker Barrel rebrand backlash, American Eagle's bold Sydney Sweeney campaign, and the AI battle for talent, which borders on the ridiculous..Finally, the team peers around the corner, curious about whether iconic brands in transition such as Gap, Kohl's, Macy's, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdale's can regain any traction in the fae of growing headwinds.

Christine Short and Zach Warring cover retailer earnings. Christine thinks the “cautious consumer” is one of retail's biggest headwinds as 2Q shows beats despite tariffs. She notes that value is leading, expecting lower-priced namesake brands like Abercrombie (ANF) or Urban Outfitters (URBN) to see strength there. Zach has a Strong Buy rating on ANF, but has a Sell rating on Kohl's (KSS) over valuation. He also likes TJX (TJX), which is “obviously gaining market share,” and Ross Stores (ROST).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Aunque parezca mentira con todo lo que está cayendo, Emmanuel Macron mira el futuro con algo de optimismo. La coyuntura internacional se ha puesto muy interesante para sus intereses y, en general para los de las élites políticas francesas. Estas élites llevan años tratando de transformar la Unión Europea en una potencia autónoma inspirada en el modelo francés. Francia ve en acontecimientos tales como la guerra de Ucrania, los aranceles de Trump o la emergencia de China como potencia mundial una oportunidad para consolidar su idea de una Europa soberana, un sueño que Charles de Gaulle promovió en los años 60 para liberar al continente del dominio de las superpotencias de la Guerra Fría. Desde entonces, todos los presidentes franceses han defendido esta autonomía estratégica, que ahora ha ganado apoyo en otros países europeos. Macron impulsa una UE que refleje los valores franceses: proteccionismo económico, independencia de EEUU y gasto público sin restricciones. Esto se refleja en sus propuestas para el rearme europeo, especialmente tras la presión de Trump para que los países de la OTAN destinen un 5% de su PIB a defensa. Mientras muchos países europeos tratan de adquirir armas rápidamente, también de proveedores externos a la UE como EEUU, el Reino Unido o Corea del Sur, Francia insiste en priorizar su industria de defensa mediante fondos europeos como el de Acción de Seguridad para Europa que asciende a 150.000 millones de euros. Francia ha logrado limitar el uso de estos fondos a empresas de la UE, excluyendo de paso a fabricantes británicos y restringiendo compras a empresas no europeas, lo que ha generado tensiones con otros Estados miembros que buscan una mayor flexibilidad. Francia justifica esta postura arguyendo que Europa debe ser independiente de EEUU, al que ya no se le puede considerar como un aliado fiable. Pero otros países europeos, especialmente los del este, tienen la necesidad de adquirir armas de inmediato, también de proveedores lejanos como Corea del Sur, y consideran al Reino Unido un aliado cercano, sobre todo desde que Keir Starmer se convirtió en primer ministro. El hecho es que Francia tiene problemas económicos graves: una deuda pública que alcanzará pronto el 120% del PIB, la mayor presión fiscal de la UE y una reciente degradación de su calificación crediticia. Macron propone financiar el gasto militar y social mediante deuda conjunta europea, evitando así subir los impuestos en Francia. Esta estrategia, que busca exportar el modelo económico francés a la UE, es una forma de mutualizar riesgos y subvencionar la industria nacional, lo que genera resistencia en la Europa central y oriental, donde ven el proteccionismo francés como un obstáculo. Macron quiere recrear el eje franco-alemán. Tienta al canciller Friedrich Merz con el paraguas nuclear francés a cambio de aceptar más deuda conjunta y relajar las reglas fiscales de la eurozona. Alemania, con una economía estancada y muchas presiones internas, podría mostrarse abierta a esa alianza, pero esto preocupa a otros países, que ven un precedente en el acuerdo de 1990 entre Mitterrand y Kohl que condujo al euro. El euro fue beneficioso en tanto extendió la disciplina monetaria alemana a toda Europa. Esta vez es al contrario, se trata de imponer la indisciplina presupuestaria francesa a todo el continente, lo que podría dividir aún más a la UE y debilitarla frente a potencias como Rusia, China o EEUU.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1113: Today we cover Amazon's push into used car sales, Rivian's legal battle to sell direct in Ohio, and Ikea's first-ever retail partnership with Best Buy. Show Notes with links:Amazon Autos now includes used and certified pre-owned vehicles. Starting in Los Angeles with Hyundai dealers, the program will soon roll out to more cities nationwide.Hyundai dealers can now list used and CPO cars, including non-Hyundai models.Vehicles come with a 3-day/300-mile return policy and a 30-day/1,000-mile warranty.Amazon promises transparent pricing, history reports, and no hidden fees.Customers can browse inventory within 75 miles and schedule test drives online.Amazon's Fan Jin: “This move continues our commitment to support local dealerships, now connecting dealers with more prospective customers online across new, certified pre-owned, and used vehicle categories.”Todd Caputo on LinkedIn: “Amazon sells purchases — not just eyeballs, phone calls, and form fills. Most dealers still make car buying way harder than it has to be. Amazon won't.”Rivian is taking Ohio to court, arguing the state's 2014 ban on direct-to-consumer sales is unconstitutional — especially since Tesla was granted a carve-out to sell under the very same law.Tesla was allowed to operate three Ohio stores under a special exemption.Rivian already runs service centers in the state but must sell cars elsewhere and deliver them in.Rivian says the law shields franchised dealers and seeks an injunction to stop enforcement of the banRivian's filing states: “It reduces competition, decreases consumer choice and drives up consumer costs and inconvenience — all of which harm consumers — with literally no countervailing benefit.”For the first time ever, Ikea is teaming up with another retailer — and the partner is Best Buy. The collaboration will bring mini Ikea showrooms into electronics stores, starting with kitchens and laundry setups.The first 10 hubs launch this fall in Florida and Texas, averaging 1,000 square feet each.Customers can shop Ikea furnishings paired with Best Buy appliances and get design consultations.Two locations will serve as Ikea order pickup centers, expanding fulfillment options.The partnership mirrors Target's Ulta and Kohl's Sephora mini-stores — aiming for “one-stop home solutions.”Ikea COO Rob Olson: “This new partnership is really allowing us to bring the Ikea experience closer to where people live.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
This episode pulls back the curtain on the shocking breakup of Genius Bar, the podcast co-hosted by Sam Kohl and Jon Prosser. Sam joins Andru Edwards, host of Geared Up, to share for the first time what really happened behind the scenes. The honest, sometimes painful conversations and revelations that led to the end of his creative partnership and friendship with Jon Prosser. The discussion exposes how financial tension, personal disappointment, and broken trust can change everything, even after years of success together. Then we dive straight into the drama swirling around Jon Prosser, as Apple files a lawsuit that has set the tech world buzzing. Sam and Andru unpack the legal allegations against Prosser, the mystery of the anonymous email tip, and what it’s like to find your name and former co-host splashed across headlines for all the wrong reasons. It’s a rare look at how quickly trust can unravel when big money and bigger risks collide in the YouTube ecosystem. Then we take a deep dive into the next wave of iPhone rumors, with speculation and hot takes on the iPhone 17 lineup. Sam and Andru debate the real-world appeal of a super-thin iPhone 17 Air, two-tone design leaks of the 17 Pro, new camera systems, and even the possibility of reverse wireless charging. The conversation shifts to Apple’s latest betas, including all the buzz around iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe updates - especially the new Liquid Glass interface. Hear first-hand impressions on how Liquid Glass has split the community, what’s actually better (and worse) about the new features, and why these subtle design changes are sparking heated debates among creators, power users, and everyday fans. From accessibility concerns to the future of Apple UI, nothing is off the table in this deep-dive on the software that shapes our devices. Next, things get personal and surprisingly relatable as we trade stories about the realities of owning Teslas in 2025. From the headache of parking a Cybertruck in LA to the rush of chasing tax credits and timing new model releases, they unpack the true cost (and joy) of electric vehicles. The conversation gets into Tesla’s shifting lineup, what it’s really like to sell an EV in today’s market, and why even loyal Tesla fans are eyeing competitors like Rivian. The two also zoom out to speculate on where EV tech is heading, including bold predictions on humanoid robots and how AI could change our daily lives next. This episode is a candid, wide-ranging look at what happens when friendship, business, technology, and ambition collide. If you want an inside view on the pressures of creating in public, the risks and rewards of the creator economy, and what it really takes to walk away from something you built, this is the conversation you can’t miss.Support the show: http://youtube.com/gearlive/joinSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this special summer edition of the Remarkable Retail podcast, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Steve Dennis return to the mic for a jam-packed Month-in-Review episode. With interviews from the CommerceNext Growth Show rolling out all summer long, the duo takes a break from the regular cadence to reflect on the key developments dominating retail headlines.Kicking things off, Michael and Steve catch up on their summer travels, from retail safaris to personal DIY projects, before diving into on-the-ground observations from recent store visits. They note intensified promotional activity, flagging department store performance, and struggling retailers like Kohl's—whose housekeeping and inventory issues speak volumes about the deeper structural challenges facing legacy banners.A major theme is the ripple effect of evolving tariff policies. Steve breaks down the shifting landscape of trade "deals"—or lack thereof—impacting everything from apparel to automobiles, including the end of the de minimis clause that could reshape the business model of players like Shein and Temu. While retailers have largely absorbed tariff costs for now, Q4 pricing and profitability are big question marks, particularly for cash-strapped players.The conversation turns to macroeconomic conditions and a surprisingly resilient U.S. consumer. However, Steve warns against viewing “the consumer” as a monolith, emphasizing growing bifurcation between income brackets. The luxury market underscores this divide—Hermès continues to thrive, while Gucci and more aspirational brands struggle, and Saks Global faces mounting losses and vendor tensions.The episode also unpacks Amazon's latest earnings, with standout 23% growth in ad sales, despite investor jitters around AWS and an uncertain outlook.Other hot takes include AI's expanding role in customer interaction, the controversy around American Eagle's “gene/jeans” ad featuring Sydney Sweeney, and the headline-grabbing soap opera surrounding Hudson's Bay's failed resurrection attempt in Canada.Looking ahead, Michael and Steve preview August retail earnings, the fall retail conference season, and the ongoing evolution of AI-enabled search.

In this week's episode of WSJ's Take On the Week, hosts Gunjan Banerji and Telis Demos start the show by digging into the meme-stock mania surrounding OpenDoor, Krispy Kreme and Kohl's, and how the factors driving this are different from 2021.

Plus, some economic talk ahead of the Federal Reserve's meeting this week to discuss interest rates, and the release of the latest jobs report. Later in the show, Imran Khan, founder and chief investment officer of Proem Asset Management, joins Gunjan to talk about the AI trade surrounding companies like Nvidia, Meta and Alphabet.

This week: The redditors have found a fresh batch of meme stocks. Felix Salmon, Elizabeth Spiers, and Emily Peck examine the so called DORK stocks – Krispy Kreme (DNUT), Opendoor (OPEN), Rocket Mortgage (RKT) and Kohl's (KSS) among others – and what this resurgence of meme stocks says about the state of the market. Then, the Trump administration's laissez-faire attitude toward financial regulation has encouraged a return of crypto ventures like Polymarket to the US. The hosts discuss this sea change and whether this lack of oversight will lead to a financial crisis. And finally, CBS says its cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is purely a financial decision despite coinciding with Paramount's settlement with number one Stephen Colbert hater Donald Trump.

Send us a textIn this week's episode of The Skinny on Wall Street, Kristen and Jen break down the latest wave of meme stock mania and what it reveals about market sentiment. They dive into Opendoor and other “DORK” stocks (Krispy Kreme, Opendoor, Kohl's, etc.), explaining how short squeezes and retail investor hype have driven massive price swings despite weak fundamentals. The conversation also unpacks the housing market's current dynamics—record-high home prices, the impact of higher mortgage rates, and why real estate inventory levels are starting to shift.The hosts then turn their attention to policy, analyzing Marjorie Taylor Greene's proposal to remove the capital gains tax cap on primary residences. They explore whether this change would meaningfully improve housing affordability or simply benefit older, wealthier homeowners, and why the real barrier for many sellers is “mortgage rate lock-in.” Kristen and Jen also discuss how inventory, pricing trends, and affordability challenges are shaping the broader market outlook.Finally, they examine how AI is creeping into investment banking with OpenAI's new “agentic mode” designed to automate financial modeling. Kristen and Jen share their hands-on experience testing the tool, explaining where it can help and where it falls short. They discuss the risks of over-reliance on AI, the importance of building skills manually, and what the rise of these tools might mean for the future of knowledge work.For a 14 day FREE Trial of Macabacus, click HERE Our Investment Banking and Private Equity Foundations course is LIVEnow with our M&A course included!

It's time for Random Friday… that's when Rich pulls out his notepad and talks about all the little bits and pieces of things that don't really warrant an entire podcast episode, but are still worth talking about. Today Rich talks about Amazon accepting returns at Kohl's stores, getting aggressive with lead generation, two similar roofing companies that have totally different identities, a client who's quitting, and blog posts to help clients understand why your prices are higher.
Episode 632: Neal and Toby recap the meme stock redux that sent shares of Opendoor and Kohl's soaring. Then, an earnings roundup from Coca-cola, GM, and Lockheed Martin.
