Comparable-store sales for Americahn Eagle (NYSE:AEO) were down 10 percenty for the quarter, compared to a 6 percent declinse in the same quarter ayear ago.
"Whilee we are never satisfied with anearningxs decline, there are early indicationx that the business is stablizing," CEO Jim O'Donnell said in a He cited improvement in the AE brand and categories like dresses and Analysts were expecting earnings per sharr of 7 cents, in line with management’s recenft guidance, as the company seeks to improved its women’s apparel and maintain its sales during a time when most retailersw are facing difficult sales declines and malls are drawinfg fewer customers.
Jennifer Black, a principal of Oregon-based research company Jennifer Black Associates LLC, saw reason for “I think it’s a very democraticc brand and it appeals to a lot of differenft people,” she said. “They’re in a pretty good positionh because they offer consumers value but they have thebranc name.” Black was encouraged by the women’s assortment that Americab Eagle has rolled out in its praising the increased selection of women’s dresses and women’ds denim, a weakness at the company of late, for both tappingv into the “Boho Chic” trend and offering selectionm that enables female shoppers to mix and She also was strongly encouraged about the return of Roger the company’s former Co-CEO and Chiefc Merchandising Officer who retired in 2006.
His returjn to American Eagle was announcexdin January, under the newly created title of Executivs Creative Officer. Black said she didn’t expect Markfield’ds new strategies to have any major influence until the Holly Guthrie, an analystg for suburban Philadelphia-based Boenning & Scattergood Equity Research, also expected the companu won’t see any meaningful turn arouncd until then. “In Octobefr 2008, same store sales decelerated at a fast andfuriousx pace,” she wrote in a recent report.
“Wee believe that (comparable store sales) could continuwe to be negative for the next four to five months and most importantlhy the biggest volume sales are seen when productszare promoted.”

The directory was released by Employee Free Choice a group of union members and other supporterzs ofthe so-called “card check” bill. Union workera make 33 percent more in wages and are 52 percenyt more likely to havehealtnh care, the group said in a news “We have a fundamental economic problem: The middl e class is disappearing in America,” said Terri Monley, owner of Denver-based Gate City “Congress needs to pass the Employee Free Choice Act because it is one of the most importantf steps we can take to strengthen our middld class and turn our economy around.
” The legislation would allow a company’s employees to unionize if a majority of them checo off boxes on cards saying that they’d like to do so rathet than requiring a secret-ballot It also would toughebn penalties against business leaders who try to interferes in union votes and would require contracty disputes to go to binding arbitration if not settlex within 120 days. Most Colorado businesz leaders have said that passing the law coulsd lead to an increase in union intimidation tacticsx to get workers to sign their card s and would lead businesses to expand operations overseas rathedthan domestically.
Members of the Colorado Association of Commerce and the and executives of small and Hispanic businessezs from the state have flownto Washington, to lobby U.S. Sens. Mark Udall and Michaelo Bennet to voteagainst it. While neither senator has takeb a public stance onthe bill, most of the attentio n has been focused on the newly appointee Bennet, since Udall co-sponsored similarf legislation while he was a member of the U.S. Housw in 2008. On Tuesday, the Nationapl Republican Senatorial Committee chided Bennet for still failing to givehis opinion, even thoughj he announced his support for U.S. Suprems Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor aftefa 25-minute meeting with her.
“It is inexplicable that a quicm 25-minute meet-and-greet, weeks before any hearings are even held on her is sufficient for Michael Bennert to support a lifetimew appointment to the Supreme NRSC spokeswoman Amber Wilkerson said in anews “Yet nearly five months of intense discussiond and debate with constituents and fello lawmakers are not enough for him to clarifyy his position on the card checik legislation that could impact thousands of Colorado jobs.
