- Thursday, June 6, 3:14 PM Mired in a post-earnings sell-off, shares of Francesca's (FRAN -9.1%) aren't getting any help from Goldman analyst Lindsay Drucker Mann who notes that Q1 comps growth of 2% (previous), was well short of guidance and is "another in a string of sequential comp decelerations on a two-year basis over the last five quarters." "Can you give details on traffic vs. conversion in terms of the composition of your comps for Q1?" she asks on the CC. "Lindsay, it was flat and all metrics were generally flat … and so, it was generally of a flat character," CEO Neill Davis responds. (transcript) Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]

After-hours top losers: PAY -12%. ASNA -10%. VRA -8%. FRAN -7%. ACTV -5%. Comment! [On the Move] - Wednesday, June 5, 4:55 PM More on Francesca's (FRAN) Q1: Comps growth and revenue growth come in at 2% and 29% respectively. The company opens 56 new boutiques during the period in line with its "key growth initiatives." Direct-to-consumer sales rise 97% Y/Y and now account for more than 2% of quarterly sales. Outlook: management sees Q2 and FY13 EPS of $0.35-0.36 and $1.27-1.30 respectively on sales of between $94.5-95.5M for Q2 and between $365-370M for the full year. Analysts are looking for EPS of $1.30 for the full year — shares -7% AH. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, On the Move, Consumer]
- Wednesday, June 5, 4:04 PM Francesca's (FRAN): Q1 EPS of $0.26 in-line. Revenue of $79M (+29% Y/Y) misses by $0.54M. Shares -5.4% AH. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News, On the Move]
- Wednesday, March 27, 8:30 AM Francesca's (FRAN) announces a secondary offering of 7.394M shares from selling stockholders. FRAN -5.5% premarket. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Tuesday, March 26, 11:56 AM A weaker-than-anticipated reading on national chain store sales for the first three weeks of the month is enough to rattle the shares of a number of mall-based retailers. Though retail execs are pointing to the weather, trend-watchers are seeing a different story (chart). Decliners: ZUMZ -3.5%, AEO -2.5%, GPS -2.8%, LTD -1.5%, CHS -2.8%, ANN -2.3%, FRAN -2.5%. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Wednesday, March 20, 2:34 PM An aggressive plan by Francesca's (FRAN +6.2%) to add another 80 stores isn't getting frowned on by investors. Sitting as a bit of a hidden retail growth story, the company will soar past the 400-store count this year after only having 78 in 2007. What to watch: Something looks like it's about to give with Wall Street gushing about the retailer's strong same-store sales but short interest on FRAN marching higher. 2 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
