RadioShack (NYSE: RSH) is a retailer of consumer electronics and services. The company operates and licenses 4,680 stores in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Mexico.^[1] In addition, the company operates approximately 560 wireless kiosks inside Sam's Club locations and in mall locations under the Sprint Nextel name. Primary product categories include consumer electronics, wireless phones, special and general-purpose batteries and accessories. The company estimates roughly 94% of Americans live or work within five miles of a RSH store.

One factor fueling skepticism about the strength of RadioShack is its dependence on a increasingly saturated U.S. wireless market. Historically, over one-third of RadioShack's sales are from wireless activations, however RadioShack's wireless partner, Sprint Nextel (S) is falling in wireless competition, which has seriously hindered RadioShack's sales and profits. In addition, large electronics retailers such as Best Buy (BBY) are increasingly selling accessories--a traditional strength for RadioShack--in conjunction with core, large-ticket items such as flat-panel TVs.
