The expert wanted to go into the holiday season. “It's interesting to take a look at earnings past and future for some key retailers as we head into holiday and the all important Black Friday,” he said.

Macy’s

After the company reported disappointing earnings, Macy's, Inc. (NYSE: M)’s stock tanked. “Currently, the Crowd is slightly bullish while the Market Prophits are very bearish,” the Chief Executive explained.

JC Penney

J C Penney Company Inc (NYSE: JCP) also reported disappointing earnings and “proceeded to fall quite hard afterwards,” Gonta continued. “Currently, both the Crowd and Market Prophits are bearish.”

Target

Finally, there’s Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT), which “just beat earnings and raised the lower end of revenue guidance. Currently, the Crowd is bullish while the Market Prophits are bearish,” the analyst told Benzinga.
