Specialty Retail, equal-weighted, based at 200 S&P 500, same base, same start trailing 12-month earnings per share rising falling

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 30 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

02 · sector relative strength, before individual stocks

Is Specialty Retail outperforming S&P 500?

Specialty Retail has underperformed S&P 500 by 7.4% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a lead of 3.5%. 10 of 27 covered companies currently beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Olaplex Holdings, Inc. is the strongest against the sector itself at +28.6%.

The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.

Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.

Bottom line

Specialty Retail has underperformed S&P 500 by 7.4% over 52 weeks and 3.5% over 13 weeks. 10 of 27 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 12 of 27 beat the sector itself. Best Buy Co., Inc. leads with revenue of $41,860 million, based on 21 of 28 comparable companies through Jun 2026.

4-Factor Sector Score

An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.

Growth & earnings · 35%Capital efficiency · 25%Valuation · 20%Relative strength · 20%
Five Below, Inc. has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 85.3% evidence confidence.
Bath & Body Works, Inc. looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
Williams-Sonoma, Inc. has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
How this score is built, and what the marks mean

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

Market action

Five Below, Inc. has the strongest one-year price move in Specialty Retail at +66.5%. Barnes & Noble Education, Inc. leads on Mansfield relative strength against the S&P 500 at +21.2%. 10 of 27 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 314 weekly closes through 2026-08-04.

Price and relative strength

Every company, the sector's own index and S&P 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability

Best Buy Co., Inc. has the highest Revenue among the 28 Specialty Retail companies compared here, at $41,860 million. Murphy USA Inc. is next at $19,678 million. EVgo, Inc. has the highest Revenue growth at 50.4%, so level and change sit with different companies. 21 of 28 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: Best Buy Co., Inc. is the scale leader at $41,860 million, 112.7% ahead of Murphy USA Inc.. EVgo, Inc.'s growth is 50.4% from a $418 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

LeaderBest Buy Co., Inc. · $41,860 million
Gap112.7% versus #2 · Murphy USA Inc.
Persistence3/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage21/28 companies · 524 observations

Investor read: Best Buy Co., Inc. is the scale benchmark; EVgo, Inc. is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.

This conclusion weakens if: Best Buy Co., Inc.'s growth falls below EVgo, Inc.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

Gap212.1% versus #2 · Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc.
Persistence4/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage28/28 companies · 523 observations

Investor read: Winmark Corporation sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current margin change signal.

Operating margin compares operating profit with revenue. Improvement is measured in percentage points, not percentage growth.

Investor read: Ulta Beauty, Inc. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

Return On Capital Employed

Winmark Corporation has the highest ROCE among the 28 Specialty Retail companies compared here, at 38.3%. Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc. is next at 9.9%. 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. has the highest ROCE change at +9.1 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. 28 of 28 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: Winmark Corporation leads ROCE at 38.3%, 28.4 percentage points above Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc.. 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. has the strongest latest improvement at +9.1 percentage points. Read the leader beside the density of its reported history: a sparse high return is a candidate; a repeated high return is evidence of durability.

ROCE asks how much operating return the business earns on the capital employed. Direction matters, but a single exceptional year should not be mistaken for durability.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality

Bath & Body Works, Inc. has the lowest PEG among the 28 Specialty Retail companies compared here, at 0.24×. Best Buy Co., Inc. is next at 0.35×. The same company also holds the lowest P/E, at 5.4×. 14 of 28 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: Bath & Body Works, Inc. has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.24×, 31.4% below Best Buy Co., Inc.. Only 14 of 28 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.

LeaderBath & Body Works, Inc. · 0.24×
Gap31.4% versus #2 · Best Buy Co., Inc.
Persistence0/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage14/28 companies · 63 observations

Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.

PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data feeds agreed. Where any of that fails the ratio is left out rather than printed: a P/E divided by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, is a number that looks precise and means nothing.

What can make this comparison misleading?

This Specialty Retail comparison names 4 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 28 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.

Keep these limits visible

  • A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
  • A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
  • The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
  • An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
11 · evidence and freshness

How was this comparison built?

This comparison is built from the reported filings of 28 Specialty Retail companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-08-04. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Specialty Retail company comparison FAQs

These 22 answers restate the Specialty Retail comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 28 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-08-04. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.

Is the Specialty Retail sector outperforming S&P 500?

Specialty Retail has underperformed S&P 500 by 7.4% over 52 weeks and 3.5% over 13 weeks. 10 of 27 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 12 of 27 beat the sector itself.

Which Specialty Retail company is largest by revenue?

Best Buy Co., Inc. leads with revenue of $41,860 million, based on 21 of 28 comparable companies through Jun 2026.

Which Specialty Retail company is growing fastest?

EVgo, Inc. has the fastest current revenue growth at 50.4%, across 21 of 28 comparable companies.

Which Specialty Retail company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?

Five Below, Inc. ranks first at 70.6/100 with 85.3% evidence confidence. The score prioritizes research; it is not a buy recommendation.

Which Specialty Retail company has the lowest comparable PEG?

Bath & Body Works, Inc. has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.24, among 14 of 28 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.

How much history does this Specialty Retail comparison include?

The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Jun 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated.

How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?

The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral.

Which Specialty Retail company is the biggest?

Best Buy Co., Inc. is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $41,860 million, ahead of Murphy USA Inc. at $19,678 million. That covers 21 of 28 companies with comparable reporting through Jun 2026.

Which Specialty Retail company has the best profit margins?

Winmark Corporation has the highest operating margin at 59.3%, from 28 of 28 comparable companies. 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. shows the biggest recent improvement, at +26.1 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.

Which Specialty Retail company makes the most profit?

Ulta Beauty, Inc. earns the most, at $1,193 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 21 of 28 comparable companies. GameStop Corp. has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.

Which Specialty Retail company earns the highest return on capital?

Winmark Corporation leads on return on capital employed at 38.3%, across 28 of 28 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.

Which Specialty Retail stock is the cheapest?

On PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Bath & Body Works, Inc. screens cheapest at 0.24×. Only 14 of 28 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.

Is the Specialty Retail sector beating the market?

Specialty Retail has underperformed S&P 500 by 7.4% over the last 52 weeks and 3.5% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 10 of 27 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.

Which Specialty Retail stock has the strongest price momentum?

Barnes & Noble Education, Inc. has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.

Which Specialty Retail company scores highest for research priority?

Five Below, Inc. scores 70.6 out of 100 with 85.3% evidence confidence, from 31 points on growth and earnings, 14 on capital efficiency, 13.8 on valuation and 11.8 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.

How many Specialty Retail companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?

It compares 28 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.

What is the total market cap of the Specialty Retail sector?

The 28 Specialty Retail companies on this page carry $196,453 million of combined market value. Casey's General Stores, Inc. is the largest at $31,479 million, about 16% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-08-04.

What is the Specialty Retail sector's P/E ratio?

The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 28 Specialty Retail companies on this page is 21.4×, measured on the 26 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past. Figures are as of 2026-08-04.

How is the Specialty Retail sector performing?

10 of the 27 covered Specialty Retail companies are beating S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 7.4% behind S&P 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-08-04.

How many Specialty Retail stocks are listed in the US?

This comparison covers 28 listed Specialty Retail companies in the US, each above the size floor the site applies. The full ranked list is on this page, with reported fundamentals through Jun 2026. Membership is the full industry list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.

Why are some values on this page blank?

A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.

Is this investment advice?

No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
