  Traditional retailers have faced a huge threat over the past 20 years from the rise of e-commerce. As shoppers have gotten used to purchasing things online, big-box stores have found it harder to compete. Yet through it all, warehouse-club giant Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ:COST) has kept its loyal customer base, posting strong performance in key shopping seasons and trying to build its own e-commerce presence without taking anything away from its successful store network.

  Furthermore, Synchrony took quite a hit recently after it announced that it would be losing its Walmart (NYSE: WMT) co-branding partnership. However, this is likely to be more of a temporary setback than a permanent problem. Think of it in the same context as when American Express lost its Costco (NASDAQ: COST) partnership; a few years later, the lost revenue has been made up for and more. With great management and a solid plan for growth, I suspect the same will happen here.
