Although Quotes
There is a clear improving trend in orders which provides support for the recovering manufacturing sector, ...

Aspect Quotes
We think there's very few of them that can be long-term buys because of the fashion aspect of it, ... In Gap's case, what's happened here is that they've acknowledged that they have missed fashion but, in terms of their inventory management, they'll be delivering more frequently to the stores with less inventory commitment to each delivery. That should minimize their markdowns and improve their gross margins.
-
Absent Quotes
To me, the business cycle is working as it always does, absent an external shock. Inventory liquidation means firms have to increase production, and they're already doing that. They're also increasing the length of the work week and hiring temporary workers. All these things support income and spending.

Activity Quotes
We are seeing the effects of reduced capital spending by service providers and other communications market end customers impact our customers' business and hence their purchases. The slowdown in end market activity is prolonging the inventory correction, but we believe that moderate sequential revenue growth will resume in the second half.

Approach Quotes
The only factors that actually prevented the first quarter from slipping into negative territory ... were the high starting point heading into it and the pre-war spending and inventory building we saw in January.

We don't sell that much over at such and such.' What happens? We open on a Friday, the hot dogs are gone by Sunday? by Sunday!

Acceptance Quotes
Due to strong consumer acceptance of new products, growth for TV and appliance retailers in 2005 was the healthiest of any home furnishings sector.

Ad Quotes
The tremendous growth in search underscores it as a fundamental advertising and public relations medium that has to be considered alongside other ad and PR venues, rather than being an afterthought. The growth also makes the New York event all the more critical for anyone and everyone looking to gain further traction in this surging market. Those not already in it are falling further behind. Those who are taking part face stronger competition for limited search inventory and rising prices. Our conference helps both groups get ahead.

Companies Quotes
They are all planning very cautiously, very carefully. Some companies have very decent inventory controls, but however good those controls are they still have to do some economic forecasting, and forecasting is a little difficult this time around. Nobody is going to spring for big orders until there's evidence that consumer demand is back, and there is no such evidence to date.

Associated Quotes

Below Quotes
Sales results were good in many low-margin non-wireless categories; however, we experienced lower sales in high-margin categories. In addition, wireless sales and profits were below our expectations.

Advertising Quotes
Sales for the month of February continued to decrease compared to last year. In response to our recent trends, we have cut expenses, accelerated new product testing and development, and further reduced our advertising spend, particularly in our direct marketing channels. In the near term, we expect our reduced advertising to contribute to continued lower year-over-year sales results. Our focus continues to be the introduction of new and innovative products, the optimization of advertising expenditures, and to lower expenses and inventory levels.
