What: Shares of office supplier Office Depot
So what: Results just barely missed estimates, but its concern over a weak economy has made the move worse today. Third-quarter revenue of $2.84 billion was just $0.05 billion below estimates, and adjusted earnings were flat, a penny below estimates.
Now what: The results weren’t terrible, but is this really a space you want to be buying now? North American sales fell 4% for Office Depot, and the store's position in the value chain just isn't as strong as it used to be. I am a seller with long-term sights and think Office Depot has a long way to go for this Fool to give it thumbs-up.
