Company outlook mixed
Share price after the results: −6.3%Slightly better top line growth is expected, but the full year gross margin is now about 30 basis points below prior year (previously in line) due to higher freight costs.
“Given the second quarter's weight in the year, we now expect full year gross margin approximately 30 basis points below prior year versus in line previously.”The outlook is not part of the score and not a recommendation to buy or sell.
