USA: Limited Records December Sales Dip
Leading US-based speciality apparel chain, Limited Inc, has announced that sales at stores open at least a year fell one per cent last month to $1.75 billion from the year ago period. The company, which also owns a majority stake in lingerie retailer, Intimate Brands Inc, added that it expected fourth-quarter earnings to beat city estimates as they had been boosted by better-than-expected profit margins.
