Sears Holdings (SHLD) shares soared before the bell after the struggling retailer posted a narrower-than-expected-loss for the holiday period. Revenue also topped estimates, but sales fell 17% from a year ago. Sears’ debt obligations nearly doubled from the prior year, despite its efforts to raise cash by selling off assets, such as its Craftsman brand.
