Why Target, Movado, & Other Stocks Tumbled Today?

Shares of Movado Group, Inc (NYSE:MOV) have lost more than 7.1% on Thursday, following the announcement of the company’s fourth-quarter financial results. While earnings of $0.40 per share came in $0.01 ahead of expectations and revenue of $143.3 million also beat estimates by $2.6 million, guidance for the ongoing year disappointed investors. For fiscal 2017, management said it expects EPS between $1.85 and $2 on revenue in the range of $585 million to $600 million, well below the Street’s consensus of $2.27 and $615 million. Finally, the company also announced that its Chief Operating Officer Rick Coté will be retiring in June, and boosted its quarterly dividend to $0.13 per share from $0.11.
