Company outlook lowered
Share price after the results: −6.7%PriceSmart delayed the RELEX system rollout again, missing the previously communicated second-quarter fiscal 2027 target with no new date given, and continues to provide no specific guidance on store openings or numbers.
“That means we will not finish by the second quarter of fiscal year 2027, as previously communicated, but we are continuing to work towards completing implementation as soon as practicable.”The outlook is not part of the score and not a recommendation to buy or sell.
