  "account": "Five apparel and footwear companies each have distinct business models. Lululemon Athletica sells premium leggings through its own stores and website, but experienced a 4% revenue decline and 9% drop in comparable sales last quarter. On Holding, a Swiss footwear maker, reported a 17.2% Q3 sales increase to $1.12 billion, boosted by a 25% rise in sales through its stores and website. Deckers Outdoor, which owns Hoka and Ugg brands, grew Hoka sales by 6.8% and Ugg by 3.5%. TJX Companies, owner of TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and HomeGoods, buys and sells brand-name goods at discounted prices, with comparable sales up 4% last quarter. Abercrombie & Fitch, with its Abercrombie and Hollister brands, posted a record $1.3 billion in second-quarter sales, driven by an 8% gain at Abercrombie. The company is expanding into home goods and buying back shares.",
