Earnings & Revenues
In the reported quarter, this athletic apparel, footwear and accessory retailer’s earnings of 62 cents per share declined nearly 10% from the prior-year quarter and missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 66 cents. This marked a miss after 28 straight quarters of bottom-line beat. While earnings gained from solid sales growth, improved gross margin and lower average share count; higher selling and administrative expenses and tax rate were deterrents.
