Shares of retail companies are trading higher after strong Black Friday sales data. The sector may be rising amid ongoing Cyber Monday sales.

President-elect Donald Trump has proposed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42178994/trump-says-he-will-impose-25-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-on-first-day-of-office-and-extra-tariffs-on-china-until-they-pay-attention">implementing significant tariffs</a>, including 25% on imports from Mexico and Canada, and an additional 10% on goods from China.
For investors, this could mean a return to the trade-war trenches of 2019, but this time, the stakes are higher and the economic backdrop shakier.
JPMorgan analyst Christopher Horvers is sounding the alarm, pointing out that the tariff squeeze might be harder to absorb now than during the first tariff spat. With inflation already a sore spot for consumers, the retail and manufacturing sectors could find themselves in a pricing power pickle.
Here's where the pressure is highest and how it could influence stock movements.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Electronics, Toys, Furnishings: Tariff Trouble Zones</h2>
The &#8220;Made in China&#8221; label isn&#8217;t just a tagline; it's a linchpin for sectors like electronics, toys, and home furnishings. According to Horvers, consumer electronics, with names like Best Buy Co Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBY#NASDAQ">BBY</a>) sourcing as much as 60% from China, are sitting ducks. Similarly, the toy giants Hasbro Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAS#NASDAQ">HAS</a>) and Mattel Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAT#NASDAQ">MAT</a>) have 50% of U.S. revenues tied to China-made goods. 
Retailers like Walmart Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) and Target Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>), who dominate 40% of the U.S. toy market, could pass price hikes to consumers, but only up to a certain limit.
Meanwhile, home furnishings players like RH (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RH#NYSE">RH</a>) and Williams-Sonoma Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WSM#NYSE">WSM</a>), already battling tighter margins, could see additional pain. 
In fragmented industries like these, pricing power is weak, and any added costs could disrupt consumer demand or erode profits.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Autoparts: High Import, But Stronger Shields</h2>
Auto parts, with high import exposure (e.g., 45% for AutoZone Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/azo#NYSE">AZO</a>)), might appear vulnerable. However, Horvers suggests this sector wields strong pricing power, which should buffer against margin compression. 
Unlike toys or electronics, auto parts are essential purchases—there's no skipping that brake replacement or battery swap.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Grocery Stores: Low Risk, High Resilience</h2>
The grocery sector seems to have drawn the long straw. With low import exposure and robust pricing power, players like BJ's Wholesale Club Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BJ#NYSE">BJ</a>) and Costco Wholesale Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) are largely insulated. Their domestic sourcing and needs-based demand make this category a tariff-resistant fortress, according to the analyst.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2024 Vs. 2019: Less Pricing Power, More Shared Pain</h2>
The tariffs of 2019 were painful but manageable. This time around, Horvers warns, things could be different. Consumers have already endured price hikes on essentials since 2020, leaving retailers and manufacturers with less room to maneuver. Big-ticket discretionary items, such as appliances or furniture, might see a sharper dip in unit sales as buyers balk at higher price tags.
Adding to the complexity, tariffs this time appear more politically charged. Horvers believes imposing significant consumer-facing price shocks could backfire, especially with inflation shaping voter sentiment. This was evident in 2019 when tariffs on consumer goods were retracted to avoid such fallout.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Investors Should Watch</h2>
If tariffs take hold, shared pain across manufacturers, retailers, and consumers will be the name of the game. 
Investors should monitor pricing strategies, margin resilience, and unit sales in the affected sectors. Stocks with diversified sourcing, strong pricing power, or essential demand are better positioned to weather the storm.
Trump's tariff 2.0 might be a high-stakes negotiation tactic, but for stocks exposed to discretionary imports, it's a risk that can't be ignored. 
As trade tensions escalate, investors are questioning not only who bears the cost of tariffs but also how long consumers can endure higher prices before they stop spending altogether.

Shares of retail companies are trading higher possibly amid overall market strength. The sector may be gaining as investors evaluate the impact of Black Friday sales.

U.S. stocks settled higher on Friday, with the Dow Jones index closed at a fresh record level during the session. Major indices on the Wall Street recorded gains last week, with the Dow gaining around 2% and the S&amp;P 500 adding around 1.7%.
Wall Street analysts make new stock picks on a daily basis. Unfortunately for investors, not all analysts have particularly impressive track records at predicting market movements. Even when it comes to one single stock, analyst ratings and price targets can vary widely, leaving investors confused about which analyst&#8217;s opinion to trust.

9 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

After a move higher of almost 30%, shares of Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WSM#NYSE">WSM</a>) are trading a little lower on Thursday. This is mostly because of two dynamics. One is profit-taking. The second is remorseful buyers taking advantage of the move to exit their losing positions at breakeven.
This is why it is our Stock of the Day.
The shares gapped higher after the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/earnings-beats/24/11/42100904/target-plunges-21-while-williams-sonoma-soars-27-on-same-day">posted strong earnings</a>. A &#8220;gap&#8221; occurs when a stock closes at one price and opens the next day at a price that is much higher. As you can see, that was the case with Williams-Sonoma yesterday.
The closing price on Tuesday was $137.24. The opening price on Wednesday was $172.02. Because there were no trades in between these two levels, there is a blank space or &#8220;gap&#8221; on the chart.
Investors bought aggressively because not only did the company report earnings that were better than estimates, it also raised its operating margin guidance. This was probably more important than the earnings beat.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="532" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/21140935/WilliamsSonoma-1024x532.png" alt="" class="wp-image-659634" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/21140935/WilliamsSonoma-1024x532.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/21140935/WilliamsSonoma-300x156.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/21140935/WilliamsSonoma-768x399.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/21140935/WilliamsSonoma-1536x798.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/21140935/WilliamsSonoma.png 1582w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>

Operating margin is the percentage of profit a company makes after all its costs and expenses. In the quarter, the operating margin was 17.8%. This means that for every dollar of sales, the company earned 17.8 cents.
Going forward, Williams raised its operating margin guidance to a range of 17.8% to 18.2%. If operating margins are increasing, it means the company is becoming more efficient.
But the move higher has stalled out. There are two reasons for this.
The first is profit-taking. Whenever a stock makes a large move higher, there are traders and investors who will take advantage of the move to lock in profits.
The second reason is &#8220;buyer's remorse.&#8221;
As you can see on the chart, the stock made a large move higher in May and formed a peak around the $172.50 level. Some of the investors and traders who bought at the peak came to regret their decision to do so after the price plummeted. They have held onto a losing position ever since.
Now that they have a chance to exit their positions at breakeven, they are placing sell orders. These orders and the orders from the profit takers have, at least for now, made the rally stall out or maybe even end. There is a chance the stock will head lower.

Investors were treated to quite the pair trade on Wednesday when shares of big box retailer Target Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) sunk while shares of home furnishing retailer Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WSM#NYSE">WSM</a>) rocketed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/buybacks/24/11/42091624/williams-sonoma-shares-spike-on-heels-of-earnings-report-1-billion-buyback-plan">off earnings</a>. The two stocks were the biggest movers of the day, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Price Action: Target&#8217;s stock closed the day at $121.72, down 21.41%. According to market strategist Ryan Detrick, Wednesday was the Minneapolis, Minnesota-based company&#8217;s third-worst day in history in the market.
Meanwhile, Williams-Sonoma&#8217;s price action was certainly something to write home about. The San Fransisco, California-based company&#8217;s shares closed the Wednesday trading session at $175.04, up 27.54%. This was the company&#8217;s second-best day ever in the market.
Target Earnings: Target reported earnings-per-share of $1.85 in 2024&#8217;s third quarter, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42085436/target-q3-earnings-supply-chain-chaos-hits-bottomline-slashes-annual-profit-outlook-stock-tanks">under Wall Street&#8217;s projection</a> of $2.30. Revenue numbers also fell under expectations. Net income fell 12.1% year-over-year while cost of sales and administrative expenses increases outpaced revenue growth.
Management cited cost pressures and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42096714/target-margins-and-inventory-issues-raise-analyst-caution-after-weak-q3-performance"> continued supply chain disruption</a>s for its weak quarterly performance. The company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39544821/target-tightens-shoplifting-rules-reduces-threshold-to-50-report">has previously blamed</a> store theft as a driver of financial underperformance.
Wells Fargo and Citigroup issued a downgrade for Target stock on Wednesday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TGT/analyst-ratings">according</a> to Benzinga analyst ratings.
Williams-Sonoma Earnings: Williams-Sonoma&#8217;s report painted a rosier picture.
The company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/buybacks/24/11/42091624/williams-sonoma-shares-spike-on-heels-of-earnings-report-1-billion-buyback-plan">reported earnings-per-share</a> of $1.96, beating estimates of $1.78. The home furnishing and cooking retailer also gained market share and raised guidance.
Laura Alber, president and CEO, highlighted the company&#8217;s margins as a catalyst for its earnings beat.
&#8220;Our operating results reflect the operational improvements that we have been focused on all year, and demonstrate the strength of our margin profile in a difficult environment," Alber said in a press release.
The Retail Industry: Target <a href="https://www.target.com/s?searchTerm=williams-sonoma&amp;tref=typeahead%7Cterm%7Cwilliams-sonoma%7C%7C%7Chistory">sells</a> Williams-Sonoma cookbooks on its online e-commerce platform.
The two earnings reports paint mixed signals for a retail industry at a crossroads. While some retailers have continued to struggle amid tough macroeconomic conditions and rapid change in the industry at large, others have flourished.
