The company operates through three segments: Direct-to-Consumer, Commercial, and International Franchising. It runs around 346 locations managed by corporate and 72 franchised stores in Asia, Australia, the Middle East, Africa, and South America.

On November 30, the company announced record fiscal third quarter results. Its total revenue increased 9.9% year-over-year to $104.48 million, beating the consensus estimate by 1.8% and registering the seventh consecutive quarter of revenue growth.

Sharon Price John, BBW President and Chief Executive Officer, attributed this solid performance to momentum and consistency in business with solid brand interest from consumers. She expressed her confidence that the company is on track to deliver the most profitable year in its 25-year history.

1 Tech Stock That's Safe And 1 That's Not

Posted on by The MarketClub Team

Recent data suggests that the U.S. economy has been more resilient than expected, despite the Fed’s efforts to cool it down through monetary tightening. However, the market widely expects the central bank to implement a lower rate hike in its meeting this month.

However, many economists believe that the terminal interest rates will beat the earlier estimates. This might tighten fund availability for growing businesses while softening consumer demand in the year ahead.

Hence it would be safe to bet on stocks with an encouraging outlook while avoiding the weak ones.

Given the uncertain economic outlook, do you expect a Santa Claus Rally this year?

With a slower increase in supplier and consumer prices signaling an easing of inflationary pressures, hopes of less aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve are also rising.

While a broad economic recovery bodes well for the financial services sector, given rising borrowing costs and credit risks, traders should be judicious in picking stocks from this space.
