Duster polluting this board as well..no escaping this guy. Aritzia is a one year story not a 3 month turn around. The guy who sold his men's division to aritzia is someone I'm familiar with. The deal was close to 400 million with the majority in stock. He is holding until it goes back to at least $50. He said record sales last quarter as reflected in the earnings...if it's good enough

The Duster can't even delete the bullet points properly which hid the fact that revenues increased across the board. Considering he kept posting the expectation on contraction, he couldn't keep that convenient fact visible lol. Aritizia got some challenges, but they have the team and product to do well.

Those are weak results unfortunately.  Flat same store sales and declinning profitability is a concern. Aritzia is discounting prices - this spikes revenue and clears inventory but hurts margins.   Hopefully things improve for Q4 (the outlook looks pretty mediocre).

That said, adjusted EPS did come in slightly ahead of analyst estimates.

Which is a beat and considering we are in a recession I take this as a positive.  Still a growth story if they can pull it off in the USA.

They have 52 stores in the US    Lululemon has 451  in the US  Ralph Lauran has 231 in the US etc etc  Gee they have no space for US expansion hahahahha

Hey Duster - cover your shorts!

You've done pretty good shorting this. Congrats to you for that. Might be time to switch to long now.
