What the Analysts think about Buckle
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Buckle stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Buckle stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Through 3 October, year-to-date sales rose 4.6% and comparable-store sales rose 2.8%, showing growth beyond the benefit of store openings. The latest five-week comparable-sales increase was only 0.5%, however, so momentum needs watching. (Yahoo Finance)
First-half operating income rose to $115.3 million from $99.9 million, while net income increased to $91.3 million from $80.2 million. Buckle also held $322.9 million in cash and investments to support planned investment and provide financial flexibility. (SEC)
Women’s and kids’ sales grew 9.5% and 11% respectively in Q2, while private-label merchandise increased to 44.5% of sales. These areas offer growth beyond the flat men’s business and may support merchandise margins. (MarketBeat)
Comparable-store growth slowed from 5.1% in Q1 to 2.1% in Q2 and 0.5% in the five weeks to 3 October. In Q2, transactions rose 1% but units per transaction fell 0.7%, leaving higher average prices to do much of the work. (SEC, Yahoo Finance)
Q2 net income slipped to $44.4 million from $45.0 million and operating margin narrowed to 17.4% from 18.4%, as operating expenses rose faster than sales. Tariff refunds supplied 65 basis points of merchandise-margin benefit, and the company said no further refunds were expected. (SEC)
Inventory rose 13.3% year on year to $161.4 million, well ahead of Q2 sales growth of 4.6%. If demand weakens, excess stock could require markdowns and weigh on margins. (SEC)
