In our view, the agreement signals that Pershing Square is willing to sell its stake in the company (17.7% direct ownership/25% total ownership), although it will be done in an orderly fashion and over a period of time. We believe that this could serve as an overhang on the stock as investors wonder if Pershing Square will exit its stake. In addition, [Vornado Realty Trust (VNO)] has stated that it is looking to liquidate its position in JCP.

Basic guidelines
In this series, I examine inventory using a simple rule of thumb: Inventory increases ought to roughly parallel revenue increases. If inventory bloats more quickly than sales grow, this might be a sign that expected sales haven't materialized. Is the current inventory situation at Intersil (Nasdaq: ISIL ) out of line? To figure that out, start by comparing the company's inventory growth to sales growth. How is Intersil doing by this quick checkup? At first glance, pretty well. Trailing-12-month revenue decreased 18.7%, and inventory decreased 19.5%. Comparing the latest quarter to the prior-year quarter, the story looks decent. Revenue shrank 15.6%, and inventory shrank 19.5%. Over the sequential quarterly period, the trend looks OK but not great. Revenue dropped 4.2%, and inventory dropped 3.1%.
