Leading jeans brand
Levi Strauss (NYSE: LEVI) is scheduled to report second quarter 2019 earnings results
after the closing bell on Tuesday, July 9. Analysts expect the company to
report earnings of 13 cents per share, on revenues of $1.3 billion.
During the last-reported quarter, the San Francisco, California-based firm swung to an adjusted net profit of $151 million, from a loss in the prior-year period. However, this was not because of the operational performance during this year, but due to the accumulation of some one-off charges last year.
Net revenues grew by 7% to $1.44 billion, half of which was
contributed by the Americas.
Look out for any management discussions relating to capital deployment or opening of new stores. During the last quarter, the company had said that it anticipates capital expenditures of about $190 million to $200 million, and nearly 100 new company-operated store openings in fiscal 2019.
