Ollie's Bargain Outlet May Signal Q2 Comparable Sales Could be Below Prior Guidance, RBC Says

By

Ollie's Bargain Outlet (OLLI) management could indicate that Q2 comparable sales growth could be lower than prior guidance of 2% but maintain its stance that sales trends should accelerate as weather improves, when it reports Q1 results on June 3, RBC Capital Markets said in a Wednesday note.

RBC lowered its Q2 comparable sales growth estimate to 1%, versus 2% previously and consensus estimate of 1.3%, and adjusted earnings per share to $1.11, from $1.16 previously and consensus of $1.14 as compares get progressively tougher throughout the quarter.

For Q1, RBC said it continues to expect comparable sales growth of 2%, with consensus now at 1.8%, and adjusted EPS estimate of $0.88, with consensus at $0.87.

RBC further said it is modeling 2026 and 2027 comp sales of 2% each, along with revised adjusted EPS estimate of $4.41 and $5.05, respectively, from $4.46 and $5.11 previously.

RBC added that it remains of the view that the underlying fundamentals remain intact and that the company's current valuation is not reflective of long-term growth prospects.

The firm lowered its price target to $152 from $153 and maintained its outperform rating.
