RE:RE:Q1 earnings outThere is/was short interest for a while as well as speculative buying, which has led to volatility. I mean you had people like Duster claiming to visit empty stores with his wife (lol).
Being that it is consumer sales that they rely on, the fact that in this economy, they were not only able to increase sales, but also increase margins show they have staying power.Their US expansion has just started. Sure online sales are somewhat flat, but unlike NKE who was trying to remove retail sales and direct it to digital which has led to disappointing results, Aritizia is making visitng the store the experience. With clothing and fashion, this is very important part of the experience and this leads to sales.
Given the health cash flow, margins etc. ATZ is a low risk, high growth play IMO unless they do a 180 on strategy.
