Specialty retail shares fell Wednesday along with the broader market as investors digested mixed economic data, including a National Association of Realtors report showing pending sales of existing homes fell 1 percent in March.

Investors were also awaiting the release of retailers' April same-store sales, or sales at stores open at least a year, tomorrow.

Here's how some specialty retailers fared:

OfficeMax Inc. fell a penny to $18.71.

Lowe's Companies Inc. dropped 48 cents to $24.93.

Gap Inc. dipped 33 cents to $18.24.

TJX Cos. slid 29 cents to $31.75.
