Retail Robustness Index: October 2020 Update—Average Financial Health Metric Deteriorates

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 four metrics: financial health, sales capacity, product mix and management tenure.

This report also includes the following key content:

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

The appendix details our methodology of calculating index scores.

This report follows the Retail Robustness Index: September 2020 Update.
