Retail stocks are shares of publicly traded companies whose primary business is selling goods or services directly to consumers, whether through brick-and-mortar stores or online platforms. Investors in retail stocks typically evaluate metrics such as same-store sales growth, inventory turnover, and consumer confidence to gauge a retailer’s financial health and growth prospects. Because consumer spending is closely tied to economic cycles, retail stock prices often reflect shifts in household budgets and broader market conditions.
