- The company’s second-quarter EPS of $0.39 missed the analyst consensus of $0.47.
- The retailer became the sole owner of clothing and accessories brand Karl Langerfeld brand by acquiring the remaining 81% stake for €200 million.
- Excluding the addition of Karl Langerfeld brand into 2H results, the analyst sees the potential for organic sales and margin pressure from an increasingly promotional retail environment.
- While GIII does not believe it needs to promote in the back half, Kearney sees risks should consumers become increasingly price sensitive.
