Shares of companies within the broader consumer discretionary sector are trading higher following better-than-expected consumer sentiment data. Strong earnings from RH and anticipated rate cuts may be lifting the sector.

Guess? Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ges#NYSE">GES</a>) posted mixed second-quarter fiscal 2025 results, with the top line increasing year over year. The bottom line declined from the year-ago quarter&#39;s reported figure and missed the consensus mark.
The company is lowering its fiscal 2025 revenue and earnings outlook to reflect the current weaker consumer environment. That said, it is effectively managing its costs and inventories while still supporting business growth through investments in marketing, new stores and infrastructure. The acquisition of rag &amp; bone is likely to have contributed to the positive performance.
<h2>GES&#39;s Quarterly Performance: Key Metrics &amp; Insights</h2>
GES reported adjusted earnings of 42 cents per share that missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 44 cents. However, the bottom line declined 42% from earnings of 72 cents in the year-ago quarter. The company&#39;s bottom-line performance reflects its decision to substantially boost marketing investments compared with last year&#39;s levels. This increased spending was aimed at supporting the international expansion of its brands, including the core Guess brand and the new additions to the portfolio, such as Guess Jeans and rag &amp; bone.
Net revenues amounted to $732.6 million, up 10% year over year. On a constant-currency (cc) basis, net revenues rose 13%. The strong performance was driven by the Rag &amp; Bone acquisition and robust wholesale results in Europe and Americas regions. All segments, except Asia, registered top-line growth. The consensus mark for quarterly revenues was pegged at $732 million.

Adjusted earnings from operations were $37.9 million, down 41.6% from $65 million reported in the year-ago quarter. The adjusted operating margin came in at 5.2%, down from 9.8% reported in the same quarter last year. The downtick was mainly caused by increased expenses, the impact of newly-acquired businesses and higher promotions. However, it was partially offset by initial markups and the positive impact of higher revenues.
<h2>Guess? Provides Q2 Revenue &amp; Margin Insights by Segment</h2>
Revenues in the Americas Retail segment rose 8% in U.S. dollars and 9% at constant currency or cc. However, retail comparable sales, including e-commerce, declined 10% in both U.S. dollars and at cc. The segment&#39;s operating margin fell 7.6% to 1.5% in the quarter.
Americas Wholesale revenues soared 93% on a reported basis and 94% at cc. The segment&#39;s operating margin declined 6.4% to 18.9% due to the impact of newly-acquired businesses.

Licensing revenues rose 4% on a reported basis and at cc. Segmental operating margin was 93.3% compared with 94.1% in the year-ago quarter. The reduction in the operating margin was primarily due to increased expenses.

Carter&#39;s, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cri#NYSE">CRI</a>) has been doing well, thanks to its robust business strategies. The company is benefiting from the success of its pricing strategy, inventory-management efforts and better product offerings. Management is focused on creating a trend-right merchandise assortment, deepening relations with customers via marketing, expanding international markets and efficiently controlling expenses.
<h3>Delving Deeper</h3>
Carter&#39;s has made significant pricing actions to address market conditions and enhance profitability. In second-quarter 2024, the company saw improved price realization and profit margins, thanks to the strength in its product offerings and lower inbound freight rates, along with better inventory management.
We note that the company is focused on essential core products. This focus, coupled with a compelling value proposition, wherein average retail price points are around $11, makes Carter&#39;s an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers. Its pricing strategy involves keeping its brands competitively priced, which has proven effective in maintaining competitiveness in the market.
The company&#39;s new Oshkosh back-to-school launch, the premium fashion denim and bottoms, has received positive feedback from customers. Also, Little Planet and PurelySoft, its newest and sustainable brands, have been performing well. Management expects about $50 million with respect to the incremental investments in pricing and marketing in the second half of 2024. The impact of this price adjustment will be around $40 million on its annual operating income.
Although Carter&#39;s top line continued to witness the impacts of inflation on reduced consumer spending, the demand trends in the wholesale segment showed improvement in the second quarter. The company noted that its wholesale segment is gaining from leaner inventories with wholesale customers.
As a result, CRI registered growth in its U.S. Wholesale sales. In the reported quarter, it saw higher demand in its U.S. Wholesale segment, led by the exclusive brands. It experienced double-digit growth in the replenishment wholesale sales in the quarter. The company&#39;s supply chain continues to strengthen the business, offsetting lower product costs for the rest of this year. For the U.S. Wholesale business, management projects strong growth in 2024.
Carter&#39;s, which shares space with Wolverine (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/www#NYSE">WWW</a>), Skechers (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/skx#NYSE">SKX</a>) and Steven Madden (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/shoo#NASDAQ">SHOO</a>), focuses on efficient cost management and operational improvements. The company has been witnessing a notable expansion in its margin rates, driven in part by lower inbound freight rates, which were the significant contributor to the margins. In the second quarter, the gross margin expanded 150 basis points (bps) on lower product input costs, a decline in inbound freight rates and soft sales to the off-price channel, which were partly offset by inventory provisions. The adjusted operating margin increased 70 bps to 7%.
