99 Cents Only Stores (Public, NYSE:NDN) shares fell to a new low today and finished the day at $8.80. Last week they posted a Q2 loss of $5.2 million or 7 cents per share. Despite the 11% increase of revenue, Wall Street only wants to pay $.99 a share.
Perhaps the most startling news to come from the conference call was the comments on 'inventory shrink' hurting their gross margin. Inventory shrink is a decline in inventory due to accounting errors, employee theft or shoplifting. Not a good sign that your stores are a safe place to shop at or convincing shareholders that you are running a stable company. You would think as a retailer that trades on the NYSE you would have a handle on 'inventory shrink'?
Message to the board at NDN is they have got to clean
