Giving classes on Excel, or office sweets due to demand with training it could be a solid way to distract the media from bashing its performance.

Staples earnings came to 42 cents per share of SPLS stock. That was in-line with analyst estimates after two quarters of earnings misses. The biggest problem for Staples stock investors is that there’s simply less demand for office supplies. That’s because workplaces are becoming more mobile and consumers are moving toward buying just about everything online.

The strategy is paying off for SPLS, which had 50% more inventory online and online sales up 3% in the most recent quarter. The company also met its $150 million cost-cutting goals ahead of schedule.
But that wasn’t enough for SPLS stock investors.
