A $79 million tariff refund drove 450 basis points of gross margin expansion, and management raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $1.54 to $1.56. A $100 million accelerated buyback and a 14% bigger dividend come with it, with revenue missing expectations.
Latest Activity
Eleven straight quarters of EPS beats go on the line at 4:10 PM ET, with consensus at $0.36 on $1.62 billion in revenue. The number that matters more is the denim demand commentary, since a streak this long leaves no room for a cautious consumer surprise.
Next week's 25 reports arrive before the big banks do, with Tuesday the heaviest: Lamb Weston before the open, then Constellation Brands after the close for a read on beer and spirits demand. Levi Strauss and Applied Digital follow Wednesday, pairing the apparel consumer with data center buildout spending.
