Last year you were talking about not enough product and supply chain issues, You said NOTHING about this:
In the case of the past year, retailers over-estimated, leading them to broadly over-order from wholesalers, who then in turn over-ordered from their own suppliers – leading, in aggregate, to a major mismatch between consumers’ actual demand and inventories on hand. The
bloated inventory levels at Walmart (
WMT), Target (
TGT), Gaps (
GPS) and other retailers this past earnings season served as recent examples of how this effect played out in real-time.
