《业绩》Levi 上季盈利胜预期 上调全年指引

The denim company Levi Strauss (LEVI.US) announced its third fiscal quarter. Although tariffs have led to increased costs, due to price hikes and strong demand, the adjusted earnings per share for the period were 34 cents, higher than the expected 31 cents. Revenue increased by 7% year-on-year to $1.54 billion, exceeding the expected $1.5 billion. However, after-hours stock price fell about 6% following the earnings announcement.

During the period, Levi's gross margin increased by 1.1 percentage points to 61.7%, higher than last year's 60.6%, and also better than analysts' expectations of 60.7%.

Levi currently expects full-year sales to grow by 3%, up from the previous forecast of 1% to 2% growth, far exceeding the expected decline of 2.9%. The full-year adjusted earnings per share are expected to be between $1.27 and $1.32, higher than the previous forecast of $1.25 to $1.30
