Wal-Mart Profits Rise 4.5 Percent
BENTONVILLE, Ark. (Reuters) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE:WMT - news), the
world's largest retailer, on Tuesday reported a 4.5 percent increase in fourth-quarter profits,
topping forecasts despite a lackluster holiday selling season that tempered earnings growth.
Net income in the quarter, ended Jan. 31, rose to $2.004 billion, or 45 cents a diluted share, compared with $1.917 billion, or
43 cents a share, in the same quarter a year-ago.
Wall Street analysts polled by First Call/Thomson Financial had expected Wal-Mart to earn 44 cents a share.
Total sales in the fourth quarter rose to $56.556 billion, up 10 percent from a year-ago. Sales at stores open a least a year, a
key measure of performance, rose 3.1 percent in the quarter.
``It was a good year but a year that was not quite up to our high Wal-Mart expectations, Lee Scott, Wal-Mart president and
chief executive, said in a statement. In a difficult economic environment, we will spend almost $9 billion in capital expenditures
and add approximately 8 percent to our retail square footage.''
A slowing U.S. economy -- specifically higher interest rates, higher energy costs and falling U.S. stock markets -- took a bite
out of consumer spending during the holiday season. Wal-Mart, like other many other retailers, saw sales growth slow from the
red-hot pace seen in recent years.
Net sales for the year rose 15.9 percent to $191.329 billion, Net income for the fiscal year increased 17.1 percent to a record
$6.295 billion, or $1.40 per diluted share, up from $5.377 billion, or $1.20 earnings per diluted share, for the prior fiscal year.
Operating profit for the company's Wal-Mart Stores segment rose 1.5 percent from a year-ago in the fourth quarter to $2.765
billion. The SAM'S Club warehouse unit reported operating profit of $294 million, an increase of 8.5 percent over the $271
million recorded for the similar period a year ago.
The company's International segment had an operating profit of $490 million, representing an increase of 8.9 percent from a
year ago.
Shares of Wal-Mart, which operates about 3,100 stores in the United States and 1,072 stores internationally, ended at $52.36
in Friday's trade on the New York Stock Exchange. The stock, a component of the Dow Jones industrial average, has
underperformed the index by about 5 percent in the last 52 weeks.

Home Depot's Fourth Quarter Earnings Fall
ATLANTA (Reuters) - Home Depot Inc. (NYSE:HD - news), the world's largest
home-improvement retailer, on Tuesday said its fourth-quarter earnings declined 20 percent
as comparable-store sales were hurt by weak lumber and building materials prices.
For the quarter ended Jan. 28, Atlanta-based Home Depot had earnings of $465 million, or
20 cents a diluted share, compared with $578 million, or 25 cents a diluted share, a year earlier. Sales rose 14 percent to
$10.46 billion from $9.17 billion.
The results met analysts' lowered estimates of 20 cents a share. Home Depot had previously warned that its fourth-quarter
earnings would trail estimates because of the slowing U.S. economy.
Home Depot said comparable-store sales for the fourth quarter were hurt by about 2 percent due to lumber prices that it said
declined to an eight-year low during the period. It also said retail prices for building materials declined.
The company also said results were affected by demand over the second half of its fiscal 1999 for products related to concerns
over the year 2000 computer bug.
Wayne Hood, an analyst at Prudential Securities, noted that Home Depot was beginning to reduce the pace of new-store
growth. Home Depot on Tuesday said it would open 200 new stores during the coming year.
``They opened 204 in 2000,'' Hood said. ``People have been expecting (Home Depot) to slow the rate of new store openings;
we're beginning to see that.''
Home Depot said it is comfortable with the current Wall Street consensus profit estimate of 26 cents a share for the 2001 first
quarter.

Wal-Mart: Q4-EPS bei 0,45 USD - Ergebnis durch US-Wirtschaftsschwäche belastet
BENTONVILLE (dpa-AFX) - Das amerikanische Einzelhandelsunternehmen Wal-Mart Stores Inc. hat im vierten Quartal (bis 31. Januar) einen Gewinn je Aktie (EPS) von 0,45 USD erwirtschaftet. Damit entsprach das Unternehmen den zuvor gesenkten Erwartungen von Analysten. Im Vorjahr hatte dieser Wert bei 0,43 USD gelegen. Wie das Unternehmen am Dienstag mitteilte, habe das Ergebnis unter der US-Wirtschaftsschwäche gelitten.
Der Nettoumsatz wurde von 51,394 Mrd. USD im Vorjahresquartal auf 56,556 Mrd. USD gesteigert. Der Nettogewinn stieg von 1,917 Mrd. USD auf 2,004 Mrd. USD. Im laufenden Geschäftsjahr wolle Wal-Mart 9 Mrd. USD investieren, um die Umsätze anzukurbeln./pk/mh/sk
Name Letzter Datum Veränderung
WAL-MART STRS ... 57,50 20.02 14:21 1,20 (2,13%)
zwar keine Entwarnung - aber zumindest die Umsätze zumindest 4. Quartal00
dürften etwas besser ausgefallen sein, als es hätte das Verbrauchervertrauen vermuten lassen können.
Wie gesagt keine Entwarnung, aber dem Dow wird heute dadurch wenigstens nichts negatives passieren.
Interessant wird Q1-01. Und noch wichtiger - die Daten morgen zu den Konsumentenpreisen.
Danke, Levke und Hans Dampf !!!!
