| BJ’s | Discount | 2.7% | -4.8% | $1,000 | The company said unseasonably cool and wet weather across the Northeast had a negative impact on merchandise categories.

| Hot Topic | Apparel | -7.9% | -5.8% | $59.5 | The young-adult retailer had profited from selling gear connected to the teenage vampire movie “Twilight.” However, the earlier sales gains are turning into declines, and the company now expects a wider loss for the second quarter. |
| J.C. Penney | Department | -8.2% | -6.7% | $1,495 | The company narrowed its loss estimate for the second quarter. Father’s Day boosted related men’s categories, as a promotional event pushed jewelry sales higher. The children’s division posted the weakest sales |
| Limited Brands | Apparel | -12% | -13% | $891.8 | The company said that more sales promotions earlier this year may have diminished the effect of its semiannual sales.

| Macy’s | Department | -8.9% | -9.1% | $2,045 | Despite a 9.4% year-to-date drop in total sales, performance is in line with the company’s low expectations. Web sales provided a small bright spot.

| Neiman Marcus | Luxury | -20.8% | -19.4% | $323 | The company continued to experience weakness across all regions and merchandise categories, especially at its Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman stores. Drops were less steep in its Neiman Marcus Direct business. |

| TJX | Discount | 4% | 4% | $1,840 | The TJ Maxx and Marshalls parent said traffic increased and lean inventories enabled it to introduce new merchandise. |
| Zumiez | Apparel | -19.3% | -7.9% | $32.0 | All departments posted a decline from a year earlier, as average transaction size also declined. The West and South regions posted larger declines than the Northeast and Midwest. |
