J.Jill Inc. Aktie

The J.Jill stock is down about 3.5% in premarket trading after experiencing profit-taking yesterday following strong Q2 results and a jump to a 52-week high. Results beat expectations (adjusted EPS $1.24; revenue $154.8m) and the company raised its full-year outlook, but insider sales by CFO/COO Mark Webb around the earnings release increased selling pressure. Analysts including Jefferies and BTIG raised price targets to $25 and stayed on Buy, while part of the margin improvement stems from a one-time tariff refund of $13.3m (adjusted EBITDA excluding the special item $20.1m). » Mere på de.investing.com
