What Happened?
Shares of outdoor specialty retailer Sportsman's Warehouse (NASDAQ: SPWH) jumped 8.7% in the morning session after the company posted second-quarter results that surpassed analysts' expectations for revenue and profitability.
Revenue for the quarter came in at $293.9 million, beating Wall Street estimates, while its adjusted loss per share of $0.12 met expectations. A key positive for the company was its same-store sales, which grew 2.1% year on year, marking a significant turnaround from previous declines. Additionally, Sportsman's Warehouse provided a strong outlook, with its full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance of $39 million at the midpoint coming in ahead of consensus forecasts. This combination of a top-line beat, stabilizing sales trends, and a better-than-expected profit forecast appeared to be resonating with investors.
