Williams-Sonoma

Omnichannel folks and Catalog-centric leaders love to point to Williams-Sonoma as a shining beacon of business productivity.

And maybe they are right.

But wouldn't it be good to know if Williams-Sonoma financial data actually looked good?

Let's take a look.

We see a highly successful business that eroded for four straight years ... then The Great Recession hit and Williams-Sonoma bottomed out at 3-13 in 2008. Wow.

It only took two years to rebuild the business.

From 2010 - 2015, the records looked like this:

• 10-6, 10-6, 10-6, 10-6, 10-6, 10-6.

That's six straight years of playoff-caliber performance. That's impressive stuff, my friends!

Pre-tax profit is generally around 10%, sales growth is generally around 7% - 8%.

But there is a bit of a wobble in 2015, isn't there?

And in 2016, through two quarters, Williams-Sonoma is trending toward a 9-7 season

So Williams-Sonoma is in danger of dipping toward 8-8 if Q4 isn't very good ... dip below that, and it's time to start thinking about a rebuilding project.
