LONDON, April 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
2013 began on a solid note as lawmakers reached a last-minute deal on the fiscal cliff issue. The last-minute deal ended uncertainty surrounding the U.S. economy. Economic data released in the first two months of 2013, meanwhile, suggested that the economy was seeing a strong recovery. The rebound in economic activity, and passage of fiscal cliff deal was a positive development for services sector. However, data posted in the last few weeks indicates that the U.S. economic recovery has stalled. This does not augur well for services companies such as Lowe's Companies Inc. (NYSE: LOW), OfficeMax Inc. (NYSE: OMX), Hawaiian Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: HA), Caesars Entertainment Corp. (NASDAQ: CZR), and DeVry Inc. (NYSE: DV). The services sector ended mostly higher on Friday, tracking gains in the broad market. StockCall free coverage on LOW, OMX, HA, CZR, and DV is available upon registration at
