12 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Moving In Tuesday's Intraday Session

Citi Trends, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CTRN#NASDAQ">CTRN</a>)&nbsp;stock gained on Tuesday after the company reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b45741625/citi-trends-announces-first-quarter-fiscal-2025-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter earnings</a>.
The company reported a&nbsp;quarterly sales growth of 8.3% year-on-year to $201.7 million, topping the analyst consensus estimate of $183.6 million.
Comparable store sales increased 9.9% compared to Q1 2024 fueled by increases in traffic, basket and conversion, reflecting the continued impact of improved product style and value, addition of off-price extreme value and better product allocation methods, the company said in a press release.

Adjusted EPS of 17 cents topped the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus loss estimate</a> of 92 cents.
The gross margin of 39.6% expanded 90 basis points Y/Y due to a higher initial markup, lower shrink, and lower freight expense, partially offset by planned in-season markdowns.
Merchandise inventory decreased by 7.6% year-over-year to $109.9 million. Average in-store inventory decreased 4.9% vs. the same period last year while supporting 9.9% comparable store sales growth. The company said inventory is significantly fresher, with a 45% decrease in aged product.
The company reported adjusted EBITDA of $5.4 million compared to a loss of $0.8 million a year ago. Citi Trends held $41.6 million in cash and equivalents as of May 3, 2025.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the company repurchased 250,555 shares of its common stock, spending a total of $6.3 million.&nbsp;
At the end of the quarter, $40.0 million remained available under the company&#8217;s share repurchase program.
CEO Ken Seipel expressed his satisfaction with the strong Q1 results, highlighting that positive trends were evident across all retail metrics, encompassing both apparel and non-apparel categories, all climate zones, and all store volumes.
He noted that this sales momentum has carried into the second quarter of fiscal 2025, with quarter-to-date comparable store sales trending in the mid-to-upper-single digits.
While acknowledging macro-economic uncertainties, particularly concerning tariffs, Seipel said, &#8220;Our approach is to be aggressive to drive growth and remain flexible to react and adjust as needed.&#8221;
&#8220;For the foreseeable future, our teams have successfully held net product costs flat in the aggregate, finding alternative goods when needed and taking advantage of off-price opportunities created by the disrupted environment. As a result, we have mitigated near-term margin pressure, and we remain optimistic about our ability to control our business results,&#8221; he added.
Citi Trends now expects <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">comparable store sales</a> growth of mid-single digits (up from prior low-to-mid-single digits). The company&nbsp;expects adjusted EBITDA of $6 million-$10 million (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44377404/citi-trends-stock-jumps-despite-q4-miss-bets-big-on-off-price-model" rel="noreferrer noopener">up from prior</a> $5 million-$9 million).
The company reiterated plans to open up to 5 new stores, remodel approximately 50 stores, and close up to 5 locations.
Price Action: CTRN shares are trading higher by 13.1% to $30.55 at last check Tuesday.
