Barclays Maintains Equal-Weight on Nordstrom, Raises Price Target to $24

Telsey Advisory Group analyst Dana Telsey maintained a Market Perform rating on Nordstrom Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JWN#NYSE">JWN</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/JWN/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price target of $24.00.</a>
For the nine-week period ending January 4, 2025, the company reported a 4.9% year-over-year increase in total net sales, outperforming the previous consensus estimate of a 4.7% <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/n42927723/nordstrom-reports-holiday-sales-updates-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">decline for the fourth quarter, per the analyst</a>.
Same-store sales at the group level rose by 5.8% year-over-year, surpassing the consensus estimate of a 3.5% decline for the quarter.
Following stronger-than-anticipated holiday results, the company revised its revenue guidance higher, but maintained its profitability projections for the year.
The analyst says that Nordstrom reported stronger-than-expected holiday sales, with positive performance at both the Nordstrom and Rack banners, driven by effective promotional strategies and a compelling product selection.
The company raised its fiscal 2024 revenue guidance, showcasing its resilience in a highly competitive retail landscape, asserted the analyst.
However, the analyst added that the company reiterated its full-year EPS forecast, slightly lower than the previous year, reflecting potential gross margin pressure due to efforts to remain competitive.
With earnings exceeding expectations in the second and third quarters, the company demonstrated improved momentum, said the analyst.
According to the analyst, the Nordstrom Rack division also presents growth potential, benefiting from a stronger off-price market that sets it apart from other department store chains.
Goldman Sachs analyst Brooke Roach is optimistic about Nordstrom&#8217;s sequential strength during the holiday period, as both banners showed improved comparable sales trends.
However, the analyst expects investors to pay close attention to management&#8217;s comments about their strategies to stay competitive in the promotional environment.
The analyst notes the anticipated January revenue slowdown in JWN&#8217;s guidance is likely a conservative estimate. Still, factors such as winter weather, wildfires in California, and other variables could contribute to the expected slower growth as the quarter ends, per the analyst.
The company is slated to release its fourth-quarter financial results on March 4, 2025.
Price Action: JWN shares are trading higher by 0.55% at $24.14 at the last check Monday.

<h3>Nordstrom: Financial Performance Dissected</h3>
Market Capitalization Analysis: The company's market capitalization is below the industry average, suggesting that it is relatively smaller compared to peers. This could be due to various factors, including perceived growth potential or operational scale.
Positive Revenue Trend: Examining Nordstrom's financials over 3 months reveals a positive narrative. The company achieved a noteworthy revenue growth rate of 4.34% as of 31 October, 2024, showcasing a substantial increase in top-line earnings. In comparison to its industry peers, the company trails behind with a growth rate lower than the average among peers in the Consumer Discretionary sector.
Net Margin: Nordstrom's net margin lags behind industry averages, suggesting challenges in maintaining strong profitability. With a net margin of 1.33%, the company may face hurdles in effective cost management.
Return on Equity (ROE): Nordstrom's ROE stands out, surpassing industry averages. With an impressive ROE of 4.75%, the company demonstrates effective use of equity capital and strong financial performance.
Return on Assets (ROA): The company's ROA is below industry benchmarks, signaling potential difficulties in efficiently utilizing assets. With an ROA of 0.51%, the company may need to address challenges in generating satisfactory returns from its assets.
Debt Management: Nordstrom's debt-to-equity ratio is notably higher than the industry average. With a ratio of 4.37, the company relies more heavily on borrowed funds, indicating a higher level of financial risk.
<h2>The Core of Analyst Ratings: What Every Investor Should Know</h2>
Analysts work in banking and financial systems and typically specialize in reporting for stocks or defined sectors. Analysts may attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.

Telsey Advisory Group Maintains Market Perform on Nordstrom, Maintains $24 Price Target

U.S. stock futures declined on Monday following Friday&#8217;s steep fall. Futures of all four major indices fell in premarket trade.
Friday&#8217;s decline followed a strong upmove in yields as the economy added 256,000 jobs in December, much above the economists&#8217; forecast of 165,000 jobs, the strongest since May 2024.
Traders now await the consumer price inflation data this week on Wednesday, which will further clear the case for the Fed to pause the rate cuts.
The 10-year and two-year Treasury notes yielded 4.78% and 4.42%, respectively. The probability of having no change in the interest rates for the upcoming Jan. 31, 2025 decision was at 97.3%, according to CME Group&#8217;s FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>.

In premarket trading on Monday, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) was down 0.76% to $576.10&nbsp;and the Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) dropped 1.16% to $501.35, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
Cues From The Last Session
Wall Street suffered significant losses last week, erasing all gains since the election. This was primarily driven by a robust jobs report, which increased concerns about persistent inflation and further interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. The week&#8217;s trading was also impacted by rising geopolitical tensions and increased inflation expectations.
The session witnessed considerable losses among growth equities, particularly those with high valuations and exposure to interest rate sensitivity. This included semiconductor companies such as Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), as well as technology firms like Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>).
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed 1.63% lower at 41,938.45, down approximately 697 points. The S&amp;P 500 Index fell 1.54% to 5,827.04, while the Nasdaq Composite dipped 1.63% to 19,161.63. Russell 200, on the other hand, fell 2.22% to 2,189.23.

Insights From Analysts
On <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42939374/as-bond-yields-near-the-crucial-5-mark-last-seen-briefly-in-2023-and-global-financial-crisis-this-analyst-says-market-appears-to-be-overreacting">Friday</a>, the U.S. 30-year Treasury yielded 4.950% by the end of the trading session, however, it touched a high of 5.005% intraday. The 10-year Treasury, on the other hand, yielded an intraday high of 4.790% to settle at 4.762% on Friday.
&#8220;It is most likely that the pressure on interest rates is being driven by inflation fears from the soon-to-be-announced tariffs that Trump 2.0 will bring.&#8221; said Louis Navellier, the chairman and founder of Navellier &amp; Associates. &#8220;The market appears to be overreacting,&#8221; he added.
Ed Yardeni and Eric Wallerstein in their note called &#8216;Bond Vigilantes Spoking Stock Jockey&#8217; said, &#8220;If Tuesday&#8217;s CPI inflation rate for December is higher than expected, causing the 10-year Treasury bond yield to revisit 2023&#8217;s high of 5.00%.&#8221;
As the stocks struggled after Friday&#8217;s reports and bond yields&#8217; reaction, Yardeni and Navellier said that this dip was a buying opportunity.
Navellier said that the market could be additionally reacting to the uncertainty on what the Fed may do. Stocks, however, are taking the higher yields to heart, he added, saying &#8220;There&#8217;s no reason to panic.&#8221; as the pullback on higher rates is likely a &#8220;buying opportunity unless earnings disappoint.&#8221;
Yardeni also reiterated its forecast of 7,000 points on the S&amp;P 500 by the end of the year. &#8220;We still believe that the 10-year Treasury bond yield should trade mostly between 4.25% and 4.75% this year. So we think that the selloffs in the stock and bond markets are buying opportunities.&#8221;
Carson Research&#8217;s VP and global macro strategist, Sonu Varghese in a blog post said that it's not useful to read too much into market moves, especially short-term ones.
He argues that the interest rates are higher because the market likely thinks stronger job creation and economy, will put more upward pressure on inflation, which means the Federal Reserve will have to pause on rate cuts. &#8220;Markets are now expecting just one rate cut in 2025 (with a probability of under 25% for a second one) and don't expect it to happen before June,&#8217; he added.

UBS Upgrades Nordstrom to Neutral, Raises Price Target to $24

Foot traffic at retailers soared on Dec. 21, the Saturday before Christmas. Here's a look at the potential winners from the last week <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42273676/walmart-target-bath-body-works-stand-out-as-black-friday-winners-analysts">of holiday shopping.</a>
What Happened: Foot traffic at retailers was up an average of 58% compared to daily averages in 2024, a trend that could see retail stocks benefit for the 2024 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42247997/walmart-shoppers-shun-electronics-for-black-friday-deals-on-eggs-bread-slippers">holiday shopping season.</a>
The 58% gain to the daily average, <a href="https://www.placer.ai/blog/super-saturday-2024-recap">reported </a>by Placer.ai, is higher than the 51.1% gain over the daily average seen on Black Friday. Sunday, Dec. 22, also saw retail foot traffic up 38.2% to the daily average.
While foot traffic was up compared to the daily average for the year, the 58% gain was smaller than last year's Super Saturday, which saw a 74.4% increase from the daily average. The caveat with last year's data is that Super Saturday was Dec. 23, one of the last remaining shopping days before Christmas.
Among the potential biggest winners for this year's Christmas shopping season could be department stores, based on the report.
Overall foot traffic to department stores was up 128.7% compared to the Saturday 2024 daily average, surpassing last year&#8217;s 119.4% increase over the 2023 Saturday average.
Among the department stores tracked by Placer.ai, these were the year-over-year visit growth:
<ul>
<li>Nordstrom (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JWN#NYSE">JWN</a>): +8.8%</li>
<li>Bloomingdale's, a unit of Macy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/M#NYSE">M</a>): +4.7%</li>
<li>JCPenney: +1.3%</li>
</ul>
The report also found that recreational and sporting goods stores, beauty and self-care stores and other specialty categories saw strong traffic gains. Here's a look at some of the retailers tracked and the foot traffic gains on a year-over-year basis to last year's Super Saturday:
<ul>
<li>Ollie's Bargain Outlet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OLLI#NASDAQ">OLLI</a>): +7.3%</li>
<li>T.J. Maxx, a unit of TJX Companies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TJX#NYSE">TJX</a>): +4.6%</li>
<li>Five Below (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIVE#NASDAQ">FIVE</a>): +4.2%</li>
</ul>
The report found that superstores, grocery stores, and discount retailers saw lower year-over-year growth due to last year's timing of Super Saturday being so close to Christmas.
Indoor shopping malls like those owned by Simon Property Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPG#NYSE">SPG</a>) may have also benefitted from Super Saturday. Placer.ai data shows that foot traffic to indoor malls was up 177.1% on Super Saturday compared to the 2024 daily average.

Why It's Important: Ahead of Super Saturday, the National Retail Foundation <a href="https://nrf.com/media-center/press-releases/157-million-consumers-to-shop-on-super-saturday">estimated </a>that 157.2 million consumers would shop on the shopping holiday based on an annual survey.
The figure comes in higher than the 141.9 million Super Saturday shoppers in 2024 and is the second highest figure over the last nine years, trailing only 158.5 million in 2022.
"Super Saturday is one of the last opportunities during the holiday season for consumers to get the remaining items on their shopping list," NRF Vice President of Industry and Consumer Insights Katherine Cullen said.
Cullen cited the shortened holiday shopping season, due to Thanksgiving falling late in November, boosting the odds of last-minute shoppers.
The survey found that 69.5 million people plan to shop both in-store and online, up from 58.3 million in 2023. The amount of people exclusively shopping in-store was down in the survey from 37% to 31%, while the percentage of people who said they would shop exclusively online increased from 22% to 24%.
Similar to the results above, the NRF survey highlighted department stores as potential winners on Super Saturday, with 37% of shoppers saying they planned to finish their holiday shopping there.
Finishing shopping online was the most popular response at 49%, with discount stores named by 27% of consumers and clothing and accessory stores named by 25% of consumers.
The NRF survey found the most popular gift purchases were clothing and accessories (50%), toys (32%), gift cards (26%) and books, video games and other media (24%).
The shortened holiday shopping season could have been good for retailers with more foot traffic each day and especially on the weekends. The key will be if the daily increase is enough to offset the lower number of total shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The post-Christmas shopping time could also see a boost, with 71% of consumers in the survey saying they planned to shop after Christmas, similar to last year's survey.
NRF estimates that the entire holiday shopping season of Nov. 1 through Dec. 31 is expected to be up 2.5% to 3% from 2024, hitting a record range of $979.5 billion to $989 billion.

<h2>Delving into Nordstrom's Background</h2>
Nordstrom is a fashion retailer that operates about 93 department stores and 280 off-price Nordstrom Rack stores. The company also operates both full- and off-price e-commerce sites, two clearance stores, and six Local locations. Nordstrom's largest merchandise categories are women's apparel (27% of 2023 sales), shoes (26% of 2023 sales), men's apparel (15% of 2023 sales), and beauty (13% of 2023 sales). Nordstrom, which traces its history to a shoe store opened in Seattle in 1901, continues to be partially owned and managed by members of the eponymous family.
<h3>Nordstrom's Financial Performance</h3>
Market Capitalization Analysis: Positioned below industry benchmarks, the company's market capitalization faces constraints in size. This could be influenced by factors such as growth expectations or operational capacity.
Revenue Growth: Nordstrom's revenue growth over a period of 3 months has been noteworthy. As of 31 October, 2024, the company achieved a revenue growth rate of approximately 4.34%. This indicates a substantial increase in the company's top-line earnings. As compared to competitors, the company encountered difficulties, with a growth rate lower than the average among peers in the Consumer Discretionary sector.
Net Margin: Nordstrom's net margin is below industry averages, indicating potential challenges in maintaining strong profitability. With a net margin of 1.33%, the company may face hurdles in effective cost management.
Return on Equity (ROE): Nordstrom's ROE stands out, surpassing industry averages. With an impressive ROE of 4.75%, the company demonstrates effective use of equity capital and strong financial performance.
Return on Assets (ROA): Nordstrom's ROA is below industry standards, pointing towards difficulties in efficiently utilizing assets. With an ROA of 0.51%, the company may encounter challenges in delivering satisfactory returns from its assets.
Debt Management: Nordstrom's debt-to-equity ratio surpasses industry norms, standing at 4.37. This suggests the company carries a substantial amount of debt, posing potential financial challenges.
<h2>The Core of Analyst Ratings: What Every Investor Should Know</h2>
Analysts work in banking and financial systems and typically specialize in reporting for stocks or defined sectors. Analysts may attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.
Beyond their standard evaluations, some analysts contribute predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, furnishing investors with additional guidance. Users of analyst ratings should be mindful that this specialized advice is shaped by human perspectives and may be subject to variability.

Prospects for the Nordstrom family <a href="https://wwd.com/business-news/retail/nordstrom-family-store-going-private-case-1236403173/">taking their business private</a> next year look good.
<a href="https://wwd.com/business-news/retail/nordstrom-q3-results-beat-expectations-2024-sales-guidance-lifted-1236738210/">Nordstrom</a> Inc.'s financial results are improving. Executives have done a good job managing expectations. The Fed has cut rates twice this year, and the regulatory environment has loosened up.
Brothers Erik and Pete&nbsp;<a href="https://wwd.com/tag/nordstrom/">Nordstrom</a>, along with other members of the&nbsp;<a href="https://wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-scoops/nordstrom-nyc-courreges-pop-up-exclusive-capsule-collection-1236702579/">Nordstrom</a>&nbsp;family and Mexican retailer Liverpool, have offered to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the company the group does not already own for $23 a share in cash, a total of $3.8 billion. The company is currently trading at around $23.19 a share. The Nordstrom family owns about one third of the stock. The family and any partners would have to own more than 50 percent of the voting shares to go private.
&nbsp;
The Nordstroms first tried to take their company private in 2017, offering <a href="https://wwd.com/feature/nordstrom-talks-break-down-next-move-unclear-1202634052/">$50 a share</a>, or $8.4 billion, with the backing of Leonard Green &amp; Partners.&nbsp;That offer was considered too low and rejected by a special committee of the board.
&nbsp;
Yet with the current lower offer, "I think the odds are decent and clearly better than last time," said Steve Dennis, author and president of SageBerry Consulting. "The business performance is more stable, interest rates are lowering, and there is lots of dry powder in the capital markets."
"We're expecting to see M&amp;A activity pick up next year," added Stephen Sadove, senior adviser for Mastercard and former chairman and chief executive officer of Saks Inc., commenting on the general deal-making environment. "There's money out there that should be put to use."
As Nordstrom executives work to take the company private — a process seen taking many months — they've been successful executing on strategic priorities, including an aggressive expansion of the Rack off-price chain, digital growth and comp gains at the Nordstrom business. But as one retail source said, "Nordstrom needs to do more work outside of the public markets to address the underlying performance of their core business."
While the Nordstroms underscored the strength of the business with third-quarter results and raised the sales guidance for 2024 overall, CEO Erik&nbsp;<a href="https://wwd.com/business-news/human-resources/nordstrom-head-dei-colleen-mitchell-1236683999/">Nordstrom</a>&nbsp;cited a slowdown in the first couple of weeks of the fourth quarter, while Cathy Smith, chief financial officer, said the external environment is "uncertain" and that the company is "prudently cautious" on its outlook for the current quarter. Others, including executives at Gap Inc. and Lululemon Athletica Inc., sounded more bullish notes on the holiday season.
Nordstrom did report a third-quarter drop in net earnings, but there were increases in operating profits and sales revenues that surpassed Wall Street expectations. But investors remain concerned about expenses and by the commentary on sluggish early fourth-quarter selling.
Wall Street takes a dim view of&nbsp;<a href="https://wwd.com/business-news/retail/nordstrom-brothers-proposal-to-take-nordstrom-private-under-review-1236321193/">Nordstrom</a>&nbsp;and most department stores. Through a go-private transaction,&nbsp;<a href="https://wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-scoops/nordstrom-nyc-courreges-pop-up-exclusive-capsule-collection-1236702579/">Nordstrom</a>&nbsp;could reach a higher valuation, and preempt an unwanted bid for the company. Given its low stock price and the recent string of investor interest in department stores, including Kohl's and Macy's,&nbsp;<a href="https://wwd.com/business-news/financial/nordstrom-jwn-q1-2024-earnings-sales-increase-1236408611/">Nordstrom</a>&nbsp;could be vulnerable to takeover offers.
&nbsp;
On Thursday, Nordstrom declined to comment on the plan to take the company private, and referred WWD to its September disclosure by a special committee of the board, which indicated: "There can be no assurance that the company will pursue this transaction or other strategic outcome, or that a proposed transaction will be approved or consummated. The company does not intend to disclose further developments regarding this matter unless and until further disclosure is determined to be appropriate or necessary."
Two big questions surround the plan to go private: Is there a deadline for putting together a deal, and how would Nordstrom's strategies change once turning private?
"To accelerate growth and improve differentiation in a challenging market, Nordstrom needs to take bolder action to future proof it's business model much of which will take a lot of capital and not show payback for multiple years," Dennis said. "So getting out of the public eye could give them air cover, and allow them to not worry so much about quarterly earnings focus."
Going private takes the Nordstroms out from under the constant glare of Wall Street, and enables them to eliminate the time and costs of producing quarterly reports, staging conference calls and meetings with investors. Management would also deal with less public scrutiny, far fewer stakeholders and regulatory requirements, and can be more decisive with a smaller constituency to report to. They'll have more time to focus on long-term strategy and spend time with their families. Private companies can be less transparent so competitors know less about what they're up against.
But if Nordstrom had to borrow money and leverage up to do the deal, "it could put them in long-term financial jeopardy," Dennis said.

"Weighing Nordstrom's Chances Of Going Private; Since Disclosing Its Intentions On Taking Nordstrom Inc. Private, The Nordstrom Family Has Been Tight-lipped On What Progress Has Been Made" - WWD

Nordstrom, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JWN#NYSE">JWN</a>) shares are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener">trading lower on Wednesday</a>.
For the third quarter, the company&#8217;s net sales increased 4.6% compared to the same period in fiscal 2023, total company comparable sales increased 4.0%, and gross merchandise value increased 5.3%.&nbsp;
JP Morgan analyst Matthew R. Boss reiterated the Underweight rating on the stock, raising the price forecast to $21 from $20.
The analyst notes that despite favorable conditions for Nordstorm&#8217;s core customer base, including high personal savings rates, low debt service ratios, and significant household wealth creation, as well as favorable pricing and promotional factors, the company&#8217;s absolute and relative performance remains disappointing, with 2023 revenue levels and EBIT margins falling below 2019 levels.
JWN opened 12 Rack stores during the quarter, reflecting a 2.2% growth, and has a total of 23 Rack store openings year-to-date, in line with its 2024 guidance of 20-25 openings, with 15 expected in 2025, Boss added.

Survey Shows Only 42% Of Sales Are Authentic</a>
Telsey Advisory Group analyst Dana Telsey reiterated Market Perform rating on Nordstrom, raising the price forecast to $26 from $24.
The analyst notes that Nordstrom exceeded earnings expectations in the third quarter, driven by stronger sales, gross margins, and operating expense leverage.
Full-line segment growth was positive for the third consecutive quarter, and momentum at Rack continued.
However, despite this growth, management highlighted a slowdown in sales in late October and November.
As a result, Nordstrom cautiously raised its FY24 revenue growth outlook by 100 basis points, while keeping EBIT margin and EPS guidance unchanged. The company also noted elevated inventory due to slower-moving cold weather categories.
Given these factors, the analyst maintained a Market Perform rating. The analyst raised estimates to $2.00 in FY24, up from $1.95 previously. For FY25, the estimate goes to $2.06, up modestly from the prior estimate of $2.02.
Price Action: JWN shares are trading lower by 9.34% to $22.32 at last check Wednesday.

크리스마스 직전 토요일(&#8216;슈퍼 새터데이&#8217;)인 12월 21일에는 소매업체의 오프라인 매장 방문을 의미하는 &#8216;풋 트래픽&#8217;이 급증했다. <a href="//www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42273676/walmart-target-bath-body-works-stand-out-as-black-friday-winners-analysts"" target="_blank" rel="noopener">홀리데이 쇼핑</a>의 마지막 주에 수혜를 입은 종목을 살펴보자.
무슨 일 있었나: 올해 슈퍼 새터데이의 소매업체 풋 트래픽은 2024년 일평균에 비해 평균 58% 증가했으며, 이는 2024년 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42247997/walmart-shoppers-shun-electronics-for-black-friday-deals-on-eggs-bread-slippers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">연말 홀리데이 쇼핑 시즌</a>에 소매주가 수혜를 볼 수 있는 추세로 보인다.
<a href="https://www.placer.ai/blog/super-saturday-2024-recap" target="_blank" rel="noopener">플레이서.ai(Placer.ai)의 보고</a>에 따르면 일평균 58% 증가율은 블랙 프라이데이의 일평균 51.1% 증가율보다 높은 수치다. 12월 22일 일요일에도 소매업체 풋 트래픽이 일평균 대비 38.2%  증가했다.
이번 풋 트래픽은 올해 일평균 대비 58% 증가했지만, 작년 슈퍼 새터데이에 일평균 대비 74.4% 증가했던 것에 비하면 적은 폭이었다. 다만 작년 데이터에서 유의할 점은 슈퍼 새터데이가 12월 23일이었고 크리스마스 이전 마지막 남은 쇼핑일이었다는 것이다.
올해의 크리스마스 쇼핑 시즌의 가장 큰 수혜자는 백화점일 수 있다. 전체 백화점의 풋 트래픽은 2024년 슈퍼 새터데이에 일평균 대비 128.7% 증가해, 2023년 슈퍼 새터데이에 일평균 대비 119.4% 증가했던 것보다 높은 수치를 기록했다.
플레이서.ai가 추적한 백화점 중 전년 대비 방문자 수가 증가한 백화점은 다음과 같다.
<ul>
<li>노드스트롬 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JWN#NYSE">JWN</a>): +8.8%</li>
<li>메이시스 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/M#NYSE">M</a>)의 블루밍데일스: +4.7%</li>
<li>JC페니: +1.3%</li>
</ul>
또한 레크리에이션 및 스포츠용품 매장, 뷰티 및 셀프케어 매장 및 기타 전문 카테고리의 트래픽이 크게 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 다음은 추적 대상 소매업체 중 일부와 작년 슈퍼 새터데이 대비 트래픽 증가율을 살펴본 결과다.
<ul>
<li>올리스 바겐 아울렛 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OLLI#NASDAQ">OLLI</a>): +7.3%</li>
<li>TJX 컴퍼니 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TJX#NYSE">TJX</a>)의 TJ맥스: +4.6%</li>
<li>파이브 빌로우 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIVE#NASDAQ">FIVE</a>): +4.2%</li>
</ul>
해당 보고서에 따르면 슈퍼마켓, 식료품점 및 할인 소매업체는 작년 슈퍼 새터데이가 크리스마스와 매우 가까웠기 때문에 전년 대비 낮은 성장률을 보였다.
사이먼 프로퍼티 그룹이 소유한 쇼핑몰과 같은 실내 쇼핑몰도 슈퍼 새터데이의 혜택을 받았을 수 있다. 플레이서.ai 데이터에 따르면 2024년 일평균에 비해 슈퍼 새터데이에 실내 쇼핑몰의 풋 트래픽이 177.1% 증가했다.
왜 중요한가: 슈퍼 새터데이를 앞두고 미국소매협회(NRF)는 연례 설문조사를 바탕으로 1억 5,720만 명의 소비자가 쇼핑 휴일에 쇼핑할 것으로 <a href="https://nrf.com/media-center/press-releases/157-million-consumers-to-shop-on-super-saturday" target="_blank" rel="noopener">예상했다.</a>
이러한 수치는 2023년 슈퍼 새터데이 쇼핑객 1억 4,190만 명보다 높은 수치이며, 지난 9년 동안 1억 5,850만 명의 2022년에 이어 두 번째로 높은 수치다.
NRF의 산업 및 소비자 인사이트 담당 부사장 캐서린 컬렌(Katherine Cullen)은 "슈퍼 새터데이는 소비자들이 쇼핑 목록에 남은 품목을 구매할 수 있는 연휴 기간의 마지막 기회 중 하나&#8221;라고 강조했다. 컬렌 부사장은 추수감사절이 11월에 늦어지면서 연휴 쇼핑 시즌이 짧아져 막판 쇼핑객이 늘어날 가능성이 높아졌다는 점을 그 이유로 꼽았다.
설문조사에 따르면 2023년 5,830만 명에서 증가한 6,950만 명이 오프라인과 온라인 쇼핑을 모두 계획하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이번 조사에서 오프라인 매장에서만 쇼핑하겠다는 응답자는 37%에서 31%로 감소한 반면, 온라인에서만 쇼핑하겠다는 응답자의 비율은 22%에서 24%로 증가했다.
위의 결과와 마찬가지로 NRF 설문조사에서도 백화점이 슈퍼 새터데이의 잠재적 승자로 꼽혔으며, 쇼핑객의 37%가 백화점에서 연말 쇼핑을 마무리할 계획이라고 답했다.
온라인 쇼핑을 마친다는 응답이 49%로 가장 많았으며, 할인점은 27%, 의류 및 액세서리 매장은 25%의 소비자가 꼽았다.
NRF 설문조사에 따르면 가장 인기 있는 선물 구매 품목은 의류 및 액세서리(50%), 장난감(32%), 기프트 카드(26%), 책, 비디오 게임 및 기타 미디어(24%)로 나타났다.
연휴 쇼핑 시즌이 짧아지면서 매일, 특히 주말에 풋 트래픽이 높은 소매업체에는 호재로 작용했을 수 있다. 관건은 추수감사절과 크리스마스 사이의 총 쇼핑 일수 감소를 상쇄할 만큼 일일 증가율이 충분한지 여부다.
크리스마스 이후 쇼핑 시간도 증가할 수 있는데, 설문조사에 참여한 소비자의 71%가 작년과 비슷하게 크리스마스 이후에 쇼핑할 계획이 있다고 답했다.
NRF는 11월 1일부터 12월 31일까지의 전체 연말 쇼핑 시즌이 2024년보다 2.5%~3% 증가하여 9,795억~9,890억 달러의 기록적인 범위를 기록할 것으로 예상하고 있다.
