Coming Soon: A Retail Revival?
Instinet's Frank Cappelleri is among the technical analysts that see brighter days ahead for retail. Cappelleri writes that while XRT has declined along with the wider equity market in the past few months, it's worth remembering that from November through January, it soared more than 25%, and, more recently, the ETF is "showing some positive signs we shouldn't ignore." True, XRT hasn't been able to break through its 50-day moving average since tumbling below in February, but it has formed a "fresh, six-week bullish technical pattern," an inverse head-and-shoulders formation, that could lead to a breakout.

Retail Outlook: Less Bad!
Oppenheimer's Ari Wald writes that amid all the turmoil, the S&P 500 closed above its 200-day moving average on Friday (and is gaining more this morning). Wald writes that in all, the S&P 500's big decline since January has created a good entry point for long-term investors, but one sector that looks especially well set up is retail, as he spies a turnaround for the SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT). The fund broke out in November, and was supported by strong holiday sales nearly across the board, although it's spent the past two months working off overbought conditions.

Retail Could See Private-Label Pushback
Retailers have to adapt to survive, and in their quest to do so, some have been turning to private-label brands to boost sales—but that’s a tactic that could backfire, warns Barclays’ Matthew McClintock. At that point, retailers begin to scale back on private labels and grow national brands to drive traffic. The final step is for retailers to focus on a small number of private label brands with specific products.

Eleven Retailers That Have More in Store

The most successful will innovate around online sales, argues Cowen & Co.'s Oliver Chen. He thinks we'll continue to see a shakeout in retail in the coming years, with winners and losers diverging further, and plenty of familiar names are in the former category. Chen believes that physical stores aren't going anywhere, even if there may be fewer of them.

Retail's Run Still Has Legs
March was a rocky month for retail (and plenty of other sectors), but Guggenheim's Robert Drbul is still upbeat about his favorite names. Drbul writes that the SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT) actually relatively outperformed last month, losing just 1.9%, compared to the S&P 5oo's 2.7% decline. The ETF slightly trailed the market for the first quarter overall, but plenty of standout retail subcategories did quite well, including stocks in his ecommerce coverage, as well as beleaguered department stores and athletic apparel stores.
