U.S. equities have rallied 14.4% year-to-date, but retail stocks remain an outlier with just 4% gains. The sector faces headwinds from inflationary pressures and trade policy uncertainty, creating selective opportunities for value investors.

Consumer spending fatigue and merchandising missteps contributed to the drop. However, incoming CEO Michael Fiddelke's turnaround plan—focusing on store upgrades, trend-right inventory, and tech investments—could reignite growth when cyclical pressures ease.
