Zumiez

Zumiez reported a net loss of $0.17 per share for Q2 and a 2.5% decline in revenue to $209 million, with both metrics missing analyst expectations. The Q3 outlook is well below consensus (EPS $0.00–0.10 vs. consensus $0.59; revenue $222–226 million vs. consensus $238 million), driving the premarket reaction. Management cites weakness in the U.S. business, particularly in the footwear segment, and plans to close roughly 16 stores; Q3 sales through Sept. 7 are already 4.3% below last year. Analyst sentiment had been cautious beforehand, so there was little institutional support and investors are now pricing in a longer period of operational headwinds. » More on de.investing.com
