Children's Place posts 1Q beat, but shares turn tail
The Children’s Place Inc.(NASDAQ:PLCE) reported first-quarter results that outpaced Street expectations Wednesday morning, but shares fell nonetheless as US retail sales data disappointed.
The retailer saw adjusted earnings fall to $0.36 per share from $1.78 in the year ago quarter, easily outpacing analyst expectations of a $0.49 per share loss. Revenue fell 5.5% to $412.4 million, compared with Street estimates of $399 million.
Net income dropped to $4.5 million from $31.5 million year over year.
The surprsie results came as the company liquidated 800 Gymboree and Crazy 8 stores in the quarter, which overlapped with 70% of Children’s Place stores.
After surging in pre-market trading, shares crashed back to earth, dropping 8.3% to $102.79.

One reason for the decline could be lagging US retail sales data. According to data from the Census Bureau released Wednesday morning, retail sales reversed course in April, dropping 0.2% after a 1.7% increase in March. Analysts had called for growth of 0.2%.
Looking ahead, the New Jersey company second quarter EPS between flat and $0.20 on revenue between $415 million and $420 million. Analysts are calling for $0.10 EPS on revenue of $420.4 million.
For fiscal 2019, it expects between $5.75 and $6.25 EPS on revenue between $1.91 billion and $1.93 billion, while Street expectations are $5.60 EPS on revenue of $1.91 billion.
