  • 8:54 AM More on Zale's (ZLC) FQ3: As in FQ2, the company reiterates its expectation of a profitable full year. Same-store sales rise 2.6% (constant currency basis and adjusting for February 29) while gross margin and operating margin expand 130 and 80 basis points respectively. YTD earnings are essentially double what they were after two quarters in 2012. The company realizes a $4M reduction in interest rate expense thanks to last year's refinancing. Additionally, ZLC appoints Terry Burman chairman of the board. Shares +26.3% premarket. (PR) Comment!
  • 8:10 AM More on American Eagle (AEO): Comparable-store sales fell 5% as they ran up against a tough comparable from last year when warmer weather lines were introduced earlier. Profit was helped by favorable products costs and sourcing efficiencies, but the retailer noted a higher rate of markdowns during the period. For Q2, flat comparable-store sales and EPS of $0.19-$0.21 are forecast. AEO -1.5% premarket. (PR) Comment!

  • 7:55 AM More on Target's (TGT) Q1: After guiding for flat comparable store sales just a little while ago, the 0.6% dip looks troubling to retail analysts. The number of transactions processed fell 1.9% during Q1, but the average transaction amount rose 1.3%. REDcard penetration rose impressively to 17.1% from 11.6% a year ago. Total store count +6 M/M and +20 Y/Y (not including Canada). TGT -2.0% premarket. (PR) Comment!

  • 7:45 AM More on Target's (TGT) Q1: The retailer cites soft sales in apparel and other seasonal and weather-sensitive categories as part of the reason for the mild Y/Y gain and slight top-line miss. Comparable-store sales in U.S. stores were off 0.6% during the period. Canada generated sales of $86M with a gross margin rate of 38.4%, though start-up expenses kept the launch of the 24 stores in the nation from adding to profitability. For full-year 2013, EPS of $4.70-$4.90 is forecast - lower than Target's prior guidance of $4.85-$5.05. (PR) Comment!

FY13 outlook: sales growth of ~4%, comps growth of ~3.5%, EPS of $2.05 against consensus of $2.08. Shares -4% premarket. (PR) 3 Comments
