The end of the earnings season is always a good time to take a step back and see who shined (and who not so much). Let’s take a look at how specialty retail stocks fared in Q3, starting with GameStop (NYSE: GME).

Some retailers try to sell everything under the sun, while others—appropriately called Specialty Retailers—focus on selling a narrow category and aiming to be exceptional at it. Whether it’s eyeglasses, sporting goods, or beauty and cosmetics, these stores win with depth of product in their category as well as in-store expertise and guidance for shoppers who need it. E-commerce competition exists and waning retail foot traffic impacts these retailers, but the magnitude of the headwinds depends on what they sell and what extra value they provide in their stores.

The 9 specialty retail stocks we track reported a mixed Q3. As a group, revenues missed analysts’ consensus estimates by 2.7%.
