Despite continued inflation, the consumer wants to celebrate the spooky season. Online Halloween merchandise is selling out on par with last year’s level, and faster than the pandemic and pre-pandemic levels. Given the mix of discounts, it looks like retailers might be able to maintain healthy margins. Moreover, the LSEG I/B/E/S and StarMine data indicate that candy makers Hershey and Mondelez International are better poised to do well during this trick-or-treating season, despite higher cocoa prices.

For the most part, consumers still prefer to do their shopping in stores, and that was very evident this Halloween season as shoppers found empty shelves at big box retailers such as Target, Home Depot and Walmart. During its last earnings call, Home Depot said it sold out its pre-released Halloween product almost immediately. However, luckily for procrastinators, there still seems to be

It’s a Mixed Trick or Treat Bag at Halloween for U.S. Retailers

The coronavirus pandemic continues to restrain normal activities, including traditional Halloween events, such as trick or treating and costume parties. As a result, retailers are feeling the pinch of a very scary Halloween season. In collaboration with StyleSage, Refinitiv discovered that the average discount penetration, which means the percentage of Halloween-related merchandise on sale, has gone up compared to last year (Exhibit 1). However , the average discount is lower this year going into the holiday weekend, as retailers try not to hurt their margins too much (Exhibit 2). Coincidentally, costumes and home decorations are the top two items Americans
