Trucking Stocks Massacred After Target Warns Of $1 Billion In Incremental Freight Costs Remember when freight, trucking and logistics data provider Freightwaves warned at the last day of April that a freight recession was imminent and was set to cripple the trucking sector and broader economy (prompted Jim Cramer to declare that "Mr Freightwaves" knows nothing). Well, as always, Cramer was wrong and Freightwaves was right, and today we are seeing nothing short of bloodbath in the trucking and logistics space, where stocks have plunged the most in over six weeks amid weak outlook from several retailers, including Target, which just like Walmart plunged the most since 1987 as inflation crippled its profit margins, and as it warned that fuel and freight costs soared in the first quarter. How bad is it looking? On the Target earnings call, the COO said the company is now expecting $1 billion in incremental freight costs this year. The Russell 3000 Index Trucking Subsector (RGUSPTK) dropped over 10% versus a 3.3% drop in the S&P 500 Index, although both are still sliding.

This is an excerpt from Thursday's (6/3) Point of Sale retail supply chain newsletter sponsored by ArcBest. Plants are the new pets and pets are the new kids. This is the sentiment I hear often in my friend group and on social media. Younger generations are waiting longer to have children and are having fewer of them. Younger people, like myself, are giving our excess care to pets and when the pandemic locked us inside, pet adoption skyrocketed. This trend has been a boon for pet and wellness companies, both digitally native and traditional brick-and-mortar players. The intense battle between pet companies for market share and pet parents' trust was well underway prior to the pandemic, but all these new furry friends have intensified it. On Petco 's (NASDAQ: WOOF ) Q1 earnings call, Chairman and CEO Ron Coughlin spoke directly about what he believes is his company's competitive advantage over Chewy (NYSE: CHWY ), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN ), and other online peers. "Our structural advantage of 1,453 micro-distribution points through our Pet Care Centers is a strategic differentiator versus pure-play online competitors," Coughlin said. "We can get to the customer faster for lower cost than shipping from a DC." Petco has been able to leverage its stores to fulfill 83% of online sales through ship-from-store, same-day delivery and BOPIS.

This is an excerpt from Monday''s (5/3) Point of Sale retail supply chain newsletter sponsored by ArcBest. The what. Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN ) confirmed last week that its annual Prime Day sales bonanza will occur earlier than normal this year. Prior to last year, Prime Day always landed in July and acted as a jump-start to Q3 and a segway into the back-to-school season. During its Q1 earnings call, CFO Brian Olsavsky said Amazon intended to hold Prime Day earlier in the year in 2020, but those plans were thwarted by the COVID pandemic. Instead, the event was held in October and kick-started the " 75-day peak season " last year. Amazon has yet to confirm a specific date, but the company said Prime Day will take place in the second quarter, implying a June event. The why. There are a number of factors Amazon executives have pointed to in their reasoning for moving the event up, including the Tokyo Olympics taking place in July, as well as it being a "vacation month" for families. "It might be better for
This is an excerpt from Monday's (5/13) Point of Sale retail supply chain newsletter sponsored by ArcBest. There's a startup that was first created to deliver stoner essentials to college kids but is quietly capturing the imagination (and venture capital) of the tech world, and it's time the logistics world took notice. Gopuff, founded by two friends at Drexel University in 2013, began delivering items like vaporizers, grinders and rolling papers. Soon after, munchies like Ben & Jerry's became supplemental offerings to smoking and quickly became the bulk of their sales. The founders, Rafael Ilishayev and Yakir Gola, both came from families steeped in brick-and-mortar retail business. Ilishayev, who emigrated from Russia when he was 2, worked for his family's sandwich shop and banquet hall business. Gola's father, who moved to the U.S. from Israel, is a well-known jeweler in the Philadelphia area. I believe this background is a principal reason Gopuff was not built to be a third-party distributor. "As first-generation Americans, Yakir and I, we grew with values from our parents that you need to create a business that makes money," Ilishayev said in an interview .
Logistics provider ArcBest Corp . (NASDAQ: ARCB ) reported record first-quarter results Tuesday.

This is an excerpt from Thursday's (4/22) Point of Sale retail supply chain newsletter sponsored by ArcBest. The best-in-class retailers are aggressively pursuing logistical control over their products (and therefore the customer experience) while trying to avoid patchwork responses to final-mile delivery. These same retailers are also in an intense battle to develop faster and faster fulfillment methods. This week, Target (NYSE: TGT ) announced that it will enlist the help of its gig economy delivery fleet, Shipt, to deliver more than just bagged grocery and household goods. What's Target doing? The new approach is being tested in Target's hometown of Minneapolis, where the company's first sortation center opened last fall. This new sortation center and the underlying strategy will be powered by three of Target's recent supply chain technology acquisitions. For many years, Target's e-commerce strategy has been built with its stores, the one true advantage it feels it has over Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), at the center.

This is an excerpt from Thursday's (3/12) Point of Sale retail supply chain newsletter sponsored by ArcBest. Retailers are stuck between playing the ocean waiting game and ponying up for air cargo. The number of container ships in San Pedro Bay has hovered around 30 since the start of the year and levels remain stubbornly high. As of Wednesday, there were 31 at anchor. The CMA CGM Marco Polo — with a capacity of 16,022 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) — has been stuck at anchor the longest, since Feb. 27. The median time a container ship spent anchored outside the port last week was just over 7.5 days before it could head to berth. The Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have received the lion's share of media attention given their scale and importance to the U.S. consumer, but it is a common story playing out around the country (and the world). Up the coast of California, ship-positioning data from MarineTraffic showed 13 ships at anchor off Oakland as of Wednesday. Even further to the north, MarineTraffic data showed 11 ships at anchor off Vancouver in British Columbia, as Asian exports to the U.S. are flowing heavily through Canada as well.
This is an excerpt from Tuesday's (3/9) Point of Sale retail supply chain newsletter sponsored by ArcBest. Instacart had a crazy year. Capped off by last week's funding announcement of another $265 million at a valuation of $39 billion (more than 4x where it was to begin 2020), Instacart has seen every piece of its business explode over the past 12 months. By some accounts, the 8-year-old company now has roughly 50% of the online grocery market. With an IPO almost guaranteed this year, I wanted to look back at how Instacart has gone from niche to necessity and question whether it can maintain this dominant position in a highly competitive, highly sought-after market post-COVID. Instacart was not Apoorva Mehta's first startup attempt. In fact, he tried his hand at more than 20 low-budget technology startups, but all either failed or eventually lost his interest. There is a story involving a lone Sriracha bottle in his empty fridge, leading to him and two of his startup friends launching Instacart to solve for quick grocery deliveries for people who, like him, lived far from supermarkets and didn't own cars.

This is an excerpt from Thursday's (3/4) Point of Sale retail supply chain newsletter sponsored by ArcBest. Ordering apparel inventory is hard. In normal times, retailers order inventory upwards of six months in advance, hoping what they ordered isn't out of fashion by the time it hits the shelves. Although consumer preferences changed rapidly, at least overall demand was steady and predictable. COVID has and continues to rampage through the apparel industry, suppressing demand for pretty much everything besides athleisure. Over the summer, retailers had difficult planning decisions to make. Remember back to May, June and July… We had no idea what to expect. Vaccines were barely dreamed of but we had just come through what we believed was "it" (the first wave). Optimism was brewing, the stock market was rebounding quickly, consumer confidence was growing and consumers were flush with the first round of stimulus. There were many variables apparel companies could have pointed to as evidence for normal, or even slightly higher holiday ordering.
This is an excerpt from Thursday's (2/25) Point of Sale retail supply chain newsletter sponsored by ArcBest. Retail sales are expected to grow this year between 6.5% and 8.2%, amounting to more than $4.33 trillion, according to the National Retail Federation's annual sales forecast released Wednesday. Preliminary results indicate retail sales grew 6.7% in 2020, despite the challenges from the global health crisis. That total nearly doubles the NRF original forecast of 3.5% prior to the pandemic and was driven by sky-high online demand that totaled 22% of all spending by year's end. This year, the NRF forecasts online sales to maintain a pressing pace between 18% and 23% growth over last year to hit $1 trillion for the first time. ( Chart: National Retail Federation) "The trajectory of the economy is predicated on the effectiveness of the vaccine and its distribution," said NRF Chief Economist Jack Kleinhenz in the press release. "Our principal assumption is that the vaccination will be effective and permits accelerated growth during the midyear.
This is an excerpt from Monday's (2/22) Point of Sale retail supply chain newsletter sponsored by ArcBest. Walmart (NYSE: WMT ) reported Q4 earnings last week that fell short of Wall Street's expectations, despite posting same-store sales growth of 8.6%. That's a huge handle for a company Walmart's size and is by far the highest growth among comparable stores in the past 10 years, more than double the next closest growth rate of 3.7% in 2019. But Walmart's stock sold off hard after earnings were posted because Walmart's costs came in well above expectations (it tallied $1.1 billion in COVID-related expenses in Q4 alone) and the company guided for sales to moderate this year. Here are the highlights: ( Data: Company Filings) Walmart and other general retailers benefited greatly from pandemic spending trends. I don't need to spend much time explaining that Walmart began the year with Americans hoarding household essentials — y'all remember the toilet paper tussles. Nor do I need to explain why Walmart maintained extremely strong same-store sales growth throughout the year — y'all weren't eating out either.
This is an excerpt from Monday's (2/8) Point of Sale retail supply chain newsletter sponsored by ArcBest. The Container Store's (NYSE: TCS ) most recent earnings call details the reality of shifting to a greater mix of e-commerce sales at a time when transportation capacity is extremely tight. To manage limited capacity, logistics providers have implemented surcharges and placed limits on its largest customers. These additional costs are putting significant strain on retailer bottom lines at a time when many are dealing with major top line declines. Fortunately for TCS, the company is not dealing with major sales declines. In fact, the company rode COVID-induced in-home spending to the tune of 21% revenue growth yoy this quarter. The cost catalyst for TCS was much of that in-home spending was done in the home . Online sales surged 98% yoy in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. "We certainly saw headwinds related to the higher mix of online sales, incurring a lot more in shipping costs than we originally expected," Chief Financial Officer Jeff Miller …
This is an excerpt from Monday's (2/15) Point of Sale retail supply chain newsletter sponsored by ArcBest. Amazon's (NASDAQ: AMZN ) grocery growth has been remarkable and part of that is thanks to leveraging the Whole Foods brands and store infrastructure. However, that growth has been to the detriment of stores, many of which are now effectively mini-fulfillment centers crammed full of pickers walking the aisles and shops and restaurants — once a calling card for stores — turned into packing areas. Whole Foods lost market share in 2020. In-store grocery sales at most other retailers — from specialists like Kroger and Sprouts to generalists like Walmart and Target — were up (a lot) in 2020. Overall, grocery spending has been up between 15% and 25% since the pandemic began in March. Whole Foods is an expectation and its stores have not performed well throughout the pandemic. Admittedly, some of this is a deliberate part of Amazon's efforts to shift sales online, but there's more to the story. ( Chart: Bank of America) In 2020, Amazon saw sales from brick-and-mortar stores — mostly Whole Foods — decline 8%, but Amazon's 46% sales growth confirms huge online gains, presumably at Whole Foods, as well.
