Boot Barn BOOT shares ended the last trading session 12.8% higher at $103.69. The jump came on an impressive volume with a higher-than-average number of shares changing hands in the session. This compares to the stock's 9.5% loss over the past four weeks.
U.S. stocks staged their biggest rally yesterday, after President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all nations except China. Boot Barn is poised to benefit from broad-based consumer demand, disciplined merchandising through full-price selling, and strategic store expansion.
This Western apparel and footwear retailer is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.24 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +22.8%. Revenues are expected to be $458.18 million, up 18% from the year-ago quarter.
Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.
For Boot Barn, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. And a stock's price usually doesn't keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions. So, make sure to keep an eye on BOOT going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
