Four Reasons Five Below Won't Go Six Feet Under
One of this week's biggest losers is Five Below (NASDAQ: FIVE). Shares of the cheap-chic retailer hit a 52-week low on Monday, tumbling 11% after posting disappointing holiday sales. Same-store sales for the two-month peak shopping period ending Jan. 4 declined 2.6%, a sharp contrast to the positive comps it was targeting for the fiscal fourth quarter back in early December.
Posting negative comps in a buoyant economy is never a good look, but this isn't the end of Five Below. Monday's drop may have been well earned given the disappointing news, but let's go over why the retailer that sells a wide range of deeply discounted yet trendy merchandise isn't going away anytime soon.
