  • U.S. shoppers splurged more than $1.52B online by Thanksgiving evening and more bargain hunters turned up at stores as they opened their doors early ahead of Black Friday.
  • According to Adobe, which tracks 80% of online transactions at the top 100 U.S. retailers, consumer spending rose 16.8% Y/Y until 5 p.m. ET.
  • At least from the stock market perspective, history tells us this is a very good time for retail stocks. Since 2007, from a week before Black Friday to a week after, the sector usually gains 5%.
