Sales at Hoka One One keep soaring.
The athletic brand helped drive parent Deckers Outdoor Corp. to a third-quarter earnings and sales beat. For the period ended Dec. 31, the Goleta, Calif.-based company posted Q3 earnings of $7.41 per share, surpassing consensus bets of $6.55 a share. Sales also jumped 7.4% to $938.74 million, compared with Wall Street estimates of $900.43 million.
An hour after market close, Deckers’ stock was up 4.15% to $184.75. The firm raised its guidance for the full year, now expecting sales in the range of $2.15 billion to $2.16 billion, versus the previously estimated $2.115 billion to $2.14 billion. Diluted earnings per share are forecast to be in the range of $9.40 to $9.50.
“Our third-quarter results were driven by three of our brands experiencing record levels of quarterly revenue, resulting in an updated outlook that reflects another year of strong top-line growth and earnings expansion,” President and CEO Dave Powers said in a statement.
