In a previous post, I focused on the US Big Retailers that had 4Q 2011 earnings with either an October or November 2011 quarter end. It showed that there were 29 of them which had either Pretax Earnings or Pretax Losses of more than $100 mil in either the 4Q 2011 or the 4Q 2010. And it also showed that the Total Pretax Income for the 4Q 2011 was precisely flat with that of the 4Q 2010.
In this post, I am focusing on the US Big Retailers with December 2011 quarter ends. There were 11 of them which had either Pretax Earnings or Pretax Losses of more than $100 mil in either the 4Q 2011 or the 4Q 2010, and which had already released their December 2011 quarter earnings. Publix Super Markets also reached this earnings threshold, but because it hadn't released its December 2011 earnings yet, it wasn't included below. It has been included as a late addition at the very bottom of this post.
How did these 11 US Big Retailers with December 2011 quarter ends do?
Well, very well, with Total Pretax Income in the 4Q 2011 increasing a robust 15% over the 4Q 2010.
Below here are these 4Q 2011 Pretax Earnings (PTI), along with a comparison with the prior year’s 4Q 2010 amounts, for these 11 Big US Retailers.
