Sears Holdings Corp. has lowered the boom — again.

At headline level, Gap's second-quarter results look strong.

A slimmed down The Children’s Place blew past analysts’ estimates in its second quarter amid increased traffic at its mall stores.

Today's results from Target serve as confirmation that the American retail sector is enjoying a renaissance.

Urban Outfitters reported second-quarter sales and earnings that topped Wall Street expectations, led by the strong performance of its Free People and namesake banners and fewer markdowns.

There was no stopping Target Corp. in its second quarter — online or off — as it reported skyrocketing digital sales and “unprecedented” store traffic growth.

Lowe’s Cos. on Wednesday reported second quarter earnings and sales that topped the Street as a delayed spring finally drove customers to stores.

In a surprising move, Lowe’s Cos. will shutter its Orchard Supply Hardware division — closing all 99 stores — in order to focus on its core home improvement warehouse model.
