From the Associated Press
RadioShack Corp. named Julian Day chief executive in the hope that the man who pulled Kmart out of bankruptcy proceedings can revive the struggling electronics retailer, which is being squeezed by Best Buy Co. and Circuit City Stores Inc.
“He will have his work cut out for him,” said Ulysses Yannas, a broker with Buckman, Buckman & Reid who has tracked the retail industry for nearly 30 years.
Shares of Fort Worth-based RadioShack rose $3.20, or 23%, to $16.96.
