Monday, April 22, 5:25 PM More on Rent-A-Center (RCII): Q1 misses on both a per share basis and revenue as total sales declined by 1% Y/Y, largely due to weaker sales of rent-to-own home merchandise in its core U.S segment, as well as the delayed issuance of federal income-tax refunds, rising fuel prices and higher payroll taxes. The company also guides lower for FY13, now expecting to earn between $2.95 to $3.10 with 3.5% to 5.5% in revenue growth, putting revenue in the range of $3.20B to $3.26B.

Monday, January 28, 5:45 PM Rent-A-Center (RCII) Q4 results miss on all counts despite a slight uptick in total sales.
