Zumiez Shares Plummet 12% After Disappointing Q4 Sales, EPS Guidance Cut

In a disappointing turn of events, Zumiez Inc. (NASDAQ: ZUMZ), a leading specialty retailer of apparel, footwear, accessories, and hardgoods for young men and women, saw its shares drop by a staggering 12% in pre-market trading on Monday.
