Genesco Reports Q4-To-Date Comparable Sales Increased 10% YoY; Same Store Sales Increased 6% And Sales For The Co's E-Commerce Businesses Increased 20% On A Comparable Basis For That Period

Genesco Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GCO#NYSE">GCO</a>) shares are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener">trading higher on Friday</a> after the company reported third-quarter financial results. It clocked an adjusted earnings per share of 61 cents, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/b42360590/genesco-inc-reports-fiscal-2025-third-quarter-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the street view of 29 cents</a>. Quarterly revenues of $596.328 million (+3%) beat the analyst consensus estimate of $577.93 million.
Comparable sales rose 6%, with e-commerce sales up 15% and store sales increasing 4%. E-commerce accounted for 24% of retail sales.
&#8220;This result was driven by the initial phase of Journeys&#8217; strategic growth plan which has focused on elevating the consumer experience including improving the product assortment and visually resetting our stores,&#8221; said Mimi E. Vaughn, Genesco&#8217;s Board Chair.
The overall sales increase for the third quarter was driven by an increase of 4% at Journeys, an increase of 3% at Schuh and a 10% increase at Genesco Brands, partially offset by a decrease of 4% at Johnston &amp; Murphy.&nbsp;

Third quarter gross margin decreased 30 basis points to 47.8% compared with 48.1% last year, due primarily to changes in product mix at Journeys.
Genesco held cash and equivalents of $33.6 million as of November 2, compared with $21.7 million in the year-ago period. At the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2025, total debt was $100.1 million.
The company said it closed 12 Journeys stores in the third quarter (for a total of 41 Journeys stores closed to date in Fiscal 2025) and expects to close up to another 10 Journeys stores in Fiscal 2025.
Outlook: Genesco raised its FY25 adjusted EPS forecast to $0.80-$1.00, compared to the analyst estimate of $0.80 (Prior view: $0.60-$1.00).
Genesco now expects total sales to be flat or down 1% compared to Fiscal 2024. Excluding the 53rd week, sales are expected to be flat to up 1%.
Price Action: GCO shares are up 6.50% to $39.84 at the last check on Friday.

Why Genesco Stock Is Trading Higher On Friday

Genesco shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q3 financial results.

Genesco Q3 Adj EPS $0.61 Beats $0.29 Estimate, Sales $596.33M Beat $577.93M Estimate

U.S. stocks could open in the red on Friday as investors exercise caution and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42357598/dow-dips-more-than-200-points-ahead-of-jobs-report-investor-sentiment-declines-fear-greed-index-remains-in-greed-">take a break after pushing the Dow past 45,000</a> for the first time. Futures of all three major indices were marginally down on Friday, pointing to cautious sentiment on Wall Street.
Investors remain tentative on equities ahead of the crucial payroll data that is set to be released later today. Also playing on investors' minds are Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell's comments about the U.S. economy's strength.
"The labor market is better, and the downside risks appear to be less in the labor market. Growth is definitely stronger than we thought, and inflation is coming [out] a little higher," Powell said during an interview at the New York Times' DealBook Summit on Wednesday.
However, CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a> shows that expectations of a 25-basis-point rate cut in December stand at 66.7%, up from 66% a week ago.

Insights From Analysts:
Fundstrat's Tom Lee remained optimistic about the performance of U.S. equities for the rest of the year, and one of the reasons for his enthusiasm is Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) breaking past the $100,000 mark.
"Bitcoin rising is, to me, breaking out of a holding pattern as a precursor to what the S&amp;P 500 is going to do for the rest of the year," Lee <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGl1SXSJoUg">told</a> CNBC in an interview.
He added that the S&amp;P 500 hitting the 6,300 level by the end of the year is "very doable."
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $98,062, down 4.43% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
On the other hand, Sonu Varghese, Vice President, Global Macro Strategist at Carson Group, flagged a Fed policy error as a "big risk for 2025."
Varghese's warning comes after Powell's comments about rate cuts earlier this week signaled that the Fed chair is willing to be patient, instead of rushing through with the cuts as earlier thought.
He thinks that stubborn inflation could force the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to be more cautious with stepping on the rate cut pedal. Varghese anticipates that elevated inflation could result in no rate cuts for as long as the first half of 2025.
"Ultimately, if the Fed does pause for an extended period of time, that's going to be on the back of spurious, backward-looking inflation data, rather than what's happening in reality."
"Meanwhile, policy would implicitly be getting tighter, as policy rates stay elevated and underlying inflation remains muted. That's a big risk for cyclical sectors of the economy," he added.

Earnings Beats

Genesco Q2 2025 Adj. EPS $(0.83) Beats $(1.11) Estimate, Sales $525.188M Beat $512.300M Estimate

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40718185/could-august-jobs-numbers-keep-recession-fears-at-bay-this-time-is-different-analys">non-farm payrolls data is keeping traders on the tenterhook</a> and the index futures point to a negative opening on Friday. The caveat here is the the market mood could quickly pivot to positivity if the job gain comes in line with expectations. Following the data, traders get to hear from two Federal Reserve officials, possibly the last ones ahead of the Sept. 17-18 Federal Open Market Committee Meeting, given the blackout period starts on Saturday. 
The market direction depends on which worries the traders the most &#8211; a slowdown or the rate trajectory. If the job gains grossly disappoint just as its ADP counterpart did, the odds of a 50 basis-point could be in play. But it remains to be seen whether a weak job market would be considered a reason good enough to liquidate risky bets. The CBOE Volatility Index, commonly called the VIX, spiked by over 13%.
On the corporate front, Broadcom Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) soft guidance is weighing down on the chipmaker&#8217;s stock and that of its peers as well.

Cues From Last Session:
U.S. stocks went about in a listless manner on Thursday as traders digested a weak ADP private payrolls number, fairly in-line initial jobless claims data and better-than-expected service sector activity readings. After a negative open, the major indices recovered and rose in the morning session. Lingering worries about Friday&#8217;s payroll numbers dragged the market lower yet again and the indices began to move in a lackluster manner before closing mixed. 
Gains in some heavy-weighted tech stocks lifted the Nasdaq to a higher close, as it snapped a two-session losing streak, while the S&amp;P 500 Index finished with a modest loss. The 30-stock Dow Jones Industrial Average and the small-cap Russell 2,000 Index settled moderately lower.
Eight of the 11 S&amp;P 500 sectors finished in the red, with industrial, material healthcare and financial stocks seeing marked weakness. On the other hand, consumer discretionary, communication services and IT stocks found some buying interest.

Insights From Analysts:
After August proved to be a wild month for stocks, September has so far lived up to expectations of being a seasonally weak month, and an analyst cautioned that the near term does not hold out much promise. LPL Financial Chief Technical Strategist Adam Turnquist said the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s recovery has stalled just under its record highs hit in mid-July. 
The index stalled just around its 20- and 50-day simple moving averages. Turnquist noted that there is a price gap at 5,455 and further down, it has support around its August low of 5,119. In the event of a rally August and July highs of 5,648 and 5,667, respectively, will serve as resistances, he added.

&#8220;Momentum indicators have turned bearish, and signs of defensive leadership have begun to emerge, pointing to more volatility ahead,&#8221; Turnquist said, adding that &#8220;breakdowns in longer-duration Treasury yields, crude oil, and copper, along with a simultaneous breakout in gold, provide a warning sign of rising risks to an economic soft landing.&#8221;
Upcoming Economic Data:
<ul>
<li>The August non-farm payrolls report, due to be released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics at 8:30 a.m. EDT, is widely expected to show that 161,000 jobs were added during the month, an increase from 114,000 jobs added in July.

US Stocks Set For Steep Fall Amid Heightened Anxiety Ahead Jobs Data, VIX Surges: Strategist Flags 2 Reasons Why He Expects More Volatility Ahead

Wall Street expects a year-over-year decline in earnings on lower revenues when Genesco (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gco#NYSE">GCO</a>) reports results for the quarter ended July 2024. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company&#39;s earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.
The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on September 6. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management&#39;s discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it&#39;s worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.
<h2>Zacks Consensus Estimate</h2>
This seller of footwear, hats, clothing and accessories is expected to post quarterly loss of $1.12 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -31.8%.
Revenues are expected to be $512.19 million, down 2.1% from the year-ago quarter.
<h2>Estimate Revisions Trend</h2>
The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 9.68% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.
<h2>Earnings Whisper</h2>
Estimate revisions ahead of a company&#39;s earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model&#39;s predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
<h2>How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Genesco?</h2>
For Genesco, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company&#39;s earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +3.14%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #1.
So, this combination indicates that Genesco will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.
<h2>Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?</h2>
While calculating estimates for a company&#39;s future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it&#39;s worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Genesco would post a loss of $2.66 per share when it actually produced a loss of $2.10, delivering a surprise of +21.05%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates two times.
<h2>Bottom Line</h2>
An earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it&#39;s worth checking a company&#39;s Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release.
Genesco appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.
<h2>An Industry Player&#39;s Expected Results</h2>
Another stock from the Zacks Retail - Apparel and Shoes industry, J.Jill (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jill#NYSE">JILL</a>), is soon expected to post earnings of $0.94 per share for the quarter ended July 2024. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of -14.6%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $155.13 million, down 0.4% from the year-ago quarter.
The consensus EPS estimate for J.Jill has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. However, a lower Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -1.33%.
When combined with a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold), this Earnings ESP makes it difficult to conclusively predict that J.Jill will beat the consensus EPS estimate. The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.
