zwar 1 Cent besser als erwartet , steigende Umsätze , aber die Earnings von AEO bleiben doch unter meinen Erwartungen , für mich bleibt Crocs weiterhin die bessere Alternative als der Modehersteller , da weitaus mehr Wachstumsfantasie beim Schuhehersteller derzeit den Kurs der Aktie hochtreibt ....
Teen-apparel chain American Eagle Outfitters (AEO - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr - Rating) topped second-quarter earnings targets, but its profit forecast for the current quarter fell short of Wall Street's expectation.
Shares were slipping 36 cents, or 1.6%, to $22.65 in recent trading.
For the quarter ended Aug. 4, American Eagle earned $81.3 million, or 37 cents a share, up from $72.1 million, or 31 cents a share, a year earlier. The results beat analysts' average estimate by a penny, and were above American Eagle's projection of a profit of 35 cents to 36 cents a share.
Sales rose to $703.2 million from $602.3 million. Same-store sales, or sales at stores open at least a year, increased 2%.
The company's gross margin slipped to 45% from 45.7%
