Raymond James analyst Matthew McClintock said his checks on Thursday evening indicate that physical store traffic was strong at both Best Buy (BBY) and Target (TGT), which he thinks "should be viewed as even more impressive than initial indications that e-commerce sales have been stronger than expected." He also noted that some retailers had such strong e-commerce traffic that website performance suffered, listing Facebook (FB), Nordstrom (JWN) and Costco (COST) as some examples. The Fly notes that the S&P Retail Index SPDR (XRT) may react today to headlines regarding checks on retail spending on Thanksgiving and Black Friday.
