Retail Robustness Index: August 2020 Update—Higher Scores Due to Increases in Store Reopenings

What's Inside

Coresight Research’s Retail Robustness Index, first published on March 26, evaluates the 100 largest US retailers (by revenue) on their ability to weather dramatic shifts in demand as the Covid-19 lockdowns began. This report updates the scores based on financial reports and store-reopening announcements.

We rank the companies according to the following metrics: financial strength; financial health, sales capacity, product mix and management tenure.
This report also includes the following key content:

• Monthly changes in the index
• The top 10 retailers in our ranking and commentary on the companies that have seen the biggest score changes
• Retail robustness by segment
• September index outlook

The appendix details our methodology of calculating index scores.

This report follows the Retail Robustness Index: June 2020 Update, the July 2020 update and the original Retail Robustness Index published on March 26, 2020.
