Nick Raich and David Swartz bring the detail on retail. David says that the companies he covers in the space seem to be meeting goals so far in the holiday season but notes that the buying season is longer than people think and things could still go awry. Nick also thinks things are “off to a good start” and thinks rate cuts will bolster the consumer. They look at Macy’s (M) earnings results as it posts the strongest comp sales growth in three years, and Dollar Tree (DLTR).
