Friday, May 10, 12:32 PM A number of retailers are seeing some speculative buying after True Religion TRLG lands a takeover offer and Gap puts in a powerhouse month for sales to help lift sentiment. The S&P Retail ETF (XRT) is up 1.1%, but might be doing better on the day if not for its heavy weighting currently into drugstore and grocery stocks. Gainers: FNP +4.1%, JOEZ +2.3%, VFC +1.5%, JNY +1.9%, GES +2.1%, APP +2.2%, BKE +1.5%. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
Friday, May 3, 3:30 PM Guess (GES +1.4%) says Gucci lost its four-year court battle in Italy over trademark infringement claims and will have to cancel trademark registrations on seven different items. The Italian court ruled that Guess was just competing in the nation, and not intentionally trying to confuse consumers. Comment! [Consumer]
Monday, March 25, 8:00 AM TheStreet says Guess (GES) is no longer a Buy. The company's revenue growth and overall financial position are solid but EPS growth is lackluster and net operating cash flow is falling on a Y/Y basis. The company disappointed with its outlook when it reported last week. Comment! [Consumer]
Thursday, March 21, 9:59 AM Guess (GES -5.3%) looks like an interesting LBO candidate with its clean balance sheet and strong cash flow, notes dealReporter. CEO Paul Marciano and his brother own close to 30% of the company giving them enough firepower to explore private options. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
Thursday, March 21, 9:10 AM Premarket gainers: ITMN +12%. CBLI +9%. ACAD +7%. AFFY +6%.
Losers: CIMT -12%. SCHL -11%. BLDP -9%. ORCL -8%. GES -7%. Comment! [On the Move]
Thursday, March 21, 8:16 AM Retail analysts are weighing in on Guess (GES) after the retailer's outlook came in disappointing. Quick takes: 1) The company doesn't appear to be low-balling guidance with inventory rising at a double-digit rate compared to flat sales. 2) The Michael Kors phenomenon could be part of the problem for Guess. Comment! [Consumer]
Wednesday, March 20, 6:01 PM More on Guess (GES): Q4 beats across the board, but net earnings fell 24% Y/Y as higher input costs and special charges offset an improvement in revenue. The company also issued lower guidance for Q1, now forecasting per-share earnings of $0.05 - $0.10 cents on revenue of $545M to $560M. Analysts were looking for $0.29 and $591M, respectively. Shares -6.5% AH. Comment! [Earnings, Consumer, On the Move]
Wednesday, March 20, 5:39 PM After-hours top gainers, as of 5:15 p.m.: FSYS +3%. JKS +2%. HLF +2%. GEVO +2%. CIM +2%.
After-hours top losers: GMO -16%. TLYS -10%. TUMI -10%. ORCL -7%. GES -5%. Comment! [On the Move]
Wednesday, March 20, 4:07 PM Guess? (GES): Q4 EPS of $0.95 beats by $0.08. Revenue of $815.1M beats by $29.53M. Shares -7.5% AH. (PR) 3 Comments [Earnings, Breaking News, On the Move]
Wednesday, March 20, 12:10 AM Notable earnings after Wednesday’s close: GES, JBL, ORCL, PSUN, SVM Comment! [Earnings]
Tuesday, March 19, 5:35 PM Notable earnings after Wednesday’s close: GES, JBL, ORCL, PSUN, SVM Comment! [Earnings]
Tuesday, March 12, 12:51 PM Guess (GES -4.1%) trades lower after word leaks out that the retailer's President of North America resigned or has been fired. Nothing official from the company just yet. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
Tuesday, February 26, 11:04 AM Valuations on retail companies have hit a sweet spot where boards can sign off on a deal and private equity firms can squeeze value out of their investments, according to Morningstar. With plenty of powder in the keg, look for P-E interest in retail to pick up. Possible targets: GME, AAP, ANF, CRI, CHS, GES. Comment! [Consumer]
Friday, February 8, 8:24 AM Wedbush Securities upgrades Guess (GES) to an Outperform rating from Neutral. The firm sets a $34 price target on shares. Comment! [Consumer]
Tuesday, January 15, 9:54 AM Shares of American Eagle Outfitters (AEO +1.9%), Guess (GES +2.7%), Gap (GPS +1.7%), and Aeropostale (ARO +1.1%) shoot higher along with other sector peers as a better-than-expected report on December retail sales and a sweet raise in guidance from Express helps to buoy sentiment. Comment! [Consumer]
Thursday, November 29, 2012, 10:11 AM Shares of Guess (GES +3.4%) ride higher after the company is lifted to Overweight by Piper Jaffray on the heels of its Q3 earnings report and special dividend gift to shareholders. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
