The Sears closing spree has reached 200 stores so far this year and shows no signs of slowing down, despite a massive new deal with Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN). While the initial news of the deal sent Sears stock soaring more than 10% in one day, the new partnership will not save Sears.
The deal, which was announced on July 20, will allow Sears Holdings Corp.'s (Nasdaq: SHLD) Kenmore home appliance brand to be sold on Amazon. This is the first official time the online retailer has had access to the Sears-exclusive brand. (Some Kenmore appliances were previously sold on Amazon through third-party sellers.)

Sempra Energy's (NYSE:SRE) acquisition of Oncor was a bit of a coup on Wall Street, as it was able to outbid Berkshire Hathaway for the Texas utility. The victory didn't come cheap, though, as Sempra had to cough up $9.5 billion and take on quite a bit of debt in the process of completing the deal. Even though the company sees immense potential in the purchase and the growth opportunities that come with it, shares of Sempra have been mostly flat for the past year.
