Retail earnings

As predicted by our StarMine data, Macy’s, Kohl’s, Bath & Body Works all posted positive surprises.

For Q3, the StarMine SmartEstimate data also shows investors can expect positive surprises from Foot Locker, Williams Sonoma and The Buckle. The later currently has an EPS mean forecast of $0.92 a share. However, there’s a five-star rated analyst with a very accurate rating that published a Bold Estimate, which is different (in this case higher) than the consensus estimate. The analyst expects The Buckle to report earnings of $1.00 a share, above the mean.
