December 2, 2008 news update from Sears Holding: "Net loss for the quarter of $1.16 per diluted share ($0.90 per diluted share excluding certain one-time items) as compared to net income of $0.03 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2007 "Total sales of $10.7 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, with a decline in domestic comparable store sales of 9.0% as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2007"

Sears problems are due to their inability to attract and keep good employees. They promote unqualified personnel, and put them into leadership/training positions. They manage their inventory remotely. They are turning into walmart, minus the profits.

Regarding DC’s comment: it’s important to be careful: the income statement's bottom line is a lagging indicator of success – it is not a predictor of future performance. There are lots of companies currently "making money" (profitable bottom line) who are already among the walking wounded. By the way, check out Sears' just released quarterly results - they are now in negative income territory. Increasing shareholder value over a long period is the end result of doing certain fundamental things well (for example, the nine "principles" described in Beat the Odds).

Does it matter what ESL's title is? The problem is that Sear's management has always believed that Walmart was the enemy and instead of trying to identify their audience, they kept experimenting with different formats (i.e. EDLP). Lambert is doing what the company has done since the 80's: searching for a silver bullet that will put Sears on top again.

Funny that you title the article, "Is Sears Going to Make it". Yet you also mention the little fact that they netted almost $1B. Seems like a functioning company to me while facing the headwinds they have - macroecon/housing, etc. You also have a company that spent in 1 year $220M in legacy pension expenses, $580M capex (much of which was merger/IT related, and another $600M in debt reduction. Seems to me when the capex in merger related items and the pension obligations are complete in a few years, you will have another $800M per year Net. Not bad for a company you question if it will make it. Don't forget about the $2.9B in buybacks that has transfered the cash to treasury stock which can be used for acquisition purposes. Cash acquisitions = taxable event, stock "merger" = tax free - which do you prefer? Just as Kmart bought Sears with stock (some cash), you can be sure the stock will be used for any future move. Also, don't forget about our friendly Canadian subsidiary that has a $Billion or so that could be kicked out for a dividend to its shareholders (oh yeah, 70% of that would go into Sears.) Gosh, I hope they make it. Also, your note about its performance compared to the S&P sounds scary, but check out the charts of almost every other stock in the sector. They have increased shareholder value more than any other. That is the name of this game right?

I just do not think that this company has a bright future ahead...

Lambert is not the CEO he is the chairman of the board.
