Both companies are projected to post earnings declines when they report in the week ahead, echoing similar downward trends across the retail industry. Industry dynamics have retailers looking for ways to rein in costs, as shown by the latest corporate disclosures. Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. WBA, -0.43% plans to close roughly 200 stores, according to a recent filing, while CVS Health Corp. CVS, +0.42% is opening stores at a slower rate. Look for Walmart and Macy’s to discuss cost-control efforts as well.
• E-commerce players from China will be a key theme, with JD.com Inc. JD, -1.60% scheduled to report Tuesday morning and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. BABA, -1.91% due to follow on Thursday morning.
