1217 ET - Mexican department store operator El Puerto de Liverpool and Nordstrom complete the deal to take the U.S. retailer private with Liverpool holding 49.9% and the Nordstrom family 50.1%. Analysts at Barclays see "potential upside in Liverpool's expertise to help manage the department store format," while the Mexican company "could learn from Nordstrom about developments such as e-commerce and structural shifts in shopping habits." Two main reasons for caution, however, are a softer U.S. consumer that could drive lower sales and same-store-sales amid trade wars, and that Liverpool "may find it difficult to translate its expertise into a new market," they add in a note. Liverpool shares are up 0.3% on the Mexican stock exchange. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
