NEW YORK (

TheStreet

) -- The retail sector is a mixed bag of stocks Monday, as several significant movers are neutralizing the S&P Retail Index.

Blockbuster

( BBI) and

Borders

( BGP)are topping the New York Stock Exchange's list of biggest decliners and advancers, respectively.

Blockbuster is plunging 8.6% to 36 cents, after it rallied last week following comments from its CEO James Keyes.

"We're in the middle of a dramatic transformation," Keyes told CNBC on Thursday. "During the course of this transformation, we're moving away from a total reliance on DVDs and now a different form of distribution for both DVDs and digital content. We're building new channels."

But investors have decided to look at the numbers, which paint a different picture. In its fourth quarter, Blockbuster widened its loss to $434.9 million, or $2.24 a share, as same-store sales tumbled nearly 16%.

Other notable decliners include

Zale

(ZLC)

, which is falling 3.6% to $2.66,

Coldwater Creek

(CWTR)

, which is off 3.4% to $7.09 and

Foot Locker

(FL) - Get Report

, which is dropping 2% to $13.96.

On the other end of the spectrum, Borders is surging 7.1% to $1.96, as investors grapple with the future of the struggling book retailer.

Warehouse club

PriceSmart

(PSMT) - Get Report

, meanwhile, is soaring 7.2% to $23.35, after it reported last week a 7.1% jump in February same-store sales.

J. Crew

( JCG) is increasing 2.7% to $46.85 ahead of its fourth-quarter earnings report due out on Tuesday. Analysts are calling for earnings of 46 cents a share on revenue of $443 million.

Other retailers releasing earnings reports this week are also gaining some speed.

Pacific Sunwear of California

(PSUN)

is rising 2.7% to $5.26 and

Zumiez

(ZUMZ) - Get Report

is up 2.4% to $19.12.
