Sears Holdings (SHLD) is speeding up efforts to shutter about 50 unprofitable stores after warning its fourth-quarter revenue would come in short of expectations.  The corporate parent of Sears and Kmart says employees at the doomed stores -- primarily Kmarts -- were told in January about the impending closures, which are slated to occur over the next couple of months. "Liquidation sales are currently taking place," said company spokesman Howard Riefs, who declined to say how many workers were affected.  "We don't disclose financials on a store-by-store basis," Riefs said in an email. "Moving forward, we will accelerate the closing of unprofitable stores."  Unlike Macy's (M), which updates and releases a list of stores slated for closure, Sears isn't identifying the locations to be shuttered.

The analysts described the department-store chain as no longer "viable as a retailer in its current form."  © 2016 CBS Interactive Inc.. All Rights Reserved.
