More Bad News At Sears
August 30, 2007 by Douglas A. McIntyreSears (SHLD) reported a poor quarter this AM.
The company reported net income of $176 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, for the second quarter ended August 4, 2007, compared with net income of $294 million, or $1.88 per diluted share, for the second quarter ended July 29, 2006.
For the quarter, our operating income decreased $178 million to $339 million in fiscal 2007, as compared to $517 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The decline in operating income was mainly attributable to lower gross margin dollars generated at both Kmart and Sears
SHLD repurchased 9.6 million of our common shares at a total cost of $1.5 billion under our share repurchase program during the second quarter of fiscal 2007.
So much for Eddie Lambert’s Big Idea.
