第6名：辦公用品及服務(wù)供應(yīng)商OfficeMax

????交易代碼: OMX

????年初至今股票表現(xiàn): -72%

????市值: 4.32億美元

????財富500強排名: 330

????OfficeMax近些年來似乎流年不利,。從2006年到2010年，銷售額下降超過10億美元,。到了2011年,，盡管分析人士早已預(yù)見到公司的業(yè)績將進一步下滑，但它公布的數(shù)據(jù)還是讓人大失所望,。4月份,，高盛指出利潤率“遠低于目標(biāo)”，并于今秋根據(jù)第三季度業(yè)績給出了負(fù)面的前景展望,。

????OfficeMax仍然希望能扭轉(zhuǎn)頹勢,，但如今經(jīng)濟不景氣，公司又處于一個競爭激烈的行業(yè),，形勢并不有利,。今夏，OfficeMax告訴分析人士,，預(yù)期中重返經(jīng)營利潤率高峰的目標(biāo)可能不得不延后了,。11月份這家零售商向投資者呈現(xiàn)的新路線圖顯示，公司將不得不花費更長的時間來強化基礎(chǔ),，扭轉(zhuǎn)業(yè)績下滑局面,，這個過程可能至少會持續(xù)至2013年。

????These are lean times for OfficeMax. Between 2006 and 2010, sales fell more than $1 billion. Then in 2011, the company disappointed analysts who'd already braced themselves for further drops. In April, Goldman Sachs noted margins fell "well short," and projected a negative outlook based on third-quarter results this fall.

????The company still hopes to turn things around, but operating in a competitive sector in a bad economy does not help. OfficeMax told analysts this summer that its hoped-for return to peak operating margins has to be slowed down. Under a new roadmap presented to investors this November, the retailer said it has to take longer to strengthen its foundation and reverse declines at least into 2013.
