BOOT BARN HLDGS DL-,0001

At the Goldman Sachs conference Boot Barn reported that same-store sales growth was only 2% in August versus 8.4% a year earlier, and the slow pace continued through the first three weeks of September. Investors reacted with a roughly 6.5% sell-off, and the stock fell intraday to a 52-week low of $131.85. Management expects newly opened stores could lift revenue and EPS in the second quarter to the top end of the guidance range, but short-term growth concerns and a weak overall market weighed heavily on the stock. » More on de.investing.com

CEO John Hazen said the improvement was broad-based across most major merchandise categories. The company expects comparable-sales growth in the second quarter to fall within its previously communicated guidance range and said new stores will push total revenue and earnings per share toward the top end of that range. Boot Barn will present at two investor conferences this week. » More on de.investing.com
