Retail Robustness Index: July 2020 Update—A Revised Methodology Due to Changing Retail Environment

What's Inside

Coresight Research’s Retail Robustness Index, first published on March 26, evaluated 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 also revise our methodology to factor in the major changes in the retail environment over the last three months. 

We rank the companies according to the following metrics: financial strength; financial health, sales capacity, product mix and management tenure. 

We highlight the top 10 retailers in our ranking and provide commentary on the companies that have seen the biggest score changes from the original index. 

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