After attending the Shoptalk conference, KeyBanc says that some retailers are better positioned than others to adopt to changing trends in the sector. Better positioned retailers include those "with compelling experiences," including Nordstrom (JWN), and those "with strong consumers connections," such as Lululemon (LULU), VF Corp (VFC), Oxford Industries (OXM), and Under Armour (UA), according to the firm. Conversely, retailers with large store footprints, particularly those with a significant presence in malls, "will continue to see pressure," KeyBanc believes. Among the companies in the latter category are L Brands (LB), Zumiez (ZUMZ), The Buckle (BKE), and Francesca's (FRAN), according to the firm.
