JC Penney Reports Another Horrific Quarter
flickr / Mike KalasnikBeleaguered department store chain JC Penney has just released its Q2 financial results, and the numbers are ugly.
Revenue came in at $2.66 billion, missing analysts' expectation for $2.78 billion.
It also reported a big net loss of $2.06 per share, which was much worse than the $1.07 loss expected.
"Comparable store sales declined 11.9% in the quarter, and were negatively impacted by the Company`s failed prior merchandising and promotional strategies, which resulted in unusually high markdowns and clearance levels in the second quarter," said management in a press release.
