UBS Raises PT to $13, Maintains Neutral Rating on Stock
UBS Group AG has raised its price target for Guess (NYSE: GES) to $13.00 from $12.00, while maintaining a Neutral rating ahead of the company's earnings report. The stock is currently trading at $13.47, with a P/E ratio of 50.21, indicating a relatively high valuation according to InvestingPro metrics [3].UBS cited solid sales momentum at rag&bone and strong Europe wholesale trends as factors expected to drive a 6-cent earnings per share beat for the second quarter. Despite these positive sales indicators, the investment firm believes elevated macroeconomic uncertainty will likely prevent Guess from raising its fiscal year 2026 earnings outlook. The options market is pricing a potential move of plus or minus 10.4% following the earnings report, which is below the historical average movement of plus or minus 12.8% [3].
Guess? Inc. recently reported its first-quarter financial results, highlighting a revenue figure that exceeded analyst expectations. The company achieved a Q1 revenue of $648 million, surpassing the projected $630.38 million, marking a 9% year-over-year increase. Despite this revenue success, Guess? reported a loss per share of $0.65, which was wider than the anticipated $0.52 loss per share estimated by analysts. The company provided a mixed outlook for the full fiscal year, which has drawn attention from investors [3].
These developments come amidst a backdrop of varied analyst opinions, with some firms potentially reassessing their positions on the company’s stock. Such financial results and projections are crucial for investors as they evaluate the company’s future performance.
