Foot Locker Stock Rises After Beating Q2 Earnings Estimates

Foot Locker's (NYSE:FL) earnings are out. The company did adjust EPS of $1.10 versus $0.80 estimated on revenue of $2.065 billion versus $2.07 billion estimated.

Meanwhile, sales have actually decreased about 9.2% from last year, but they've increased 16.4% from 2019.

And get this, guys. As of the end of last quarter, they had almost $1.65 billion of merchandise, a ton of inventory as people are getting ready to send their kids back to school. I think that's good.

And as for sales guidance, they lowered it a little bit from the previous estimate due to foreign exchange pressures.

Foot Locker (NYSE:FL) also got a new CEO. The CEO retired. Now, they appointed Ulta  Beauty's (NASDAQ:ULTA) old CEO, Mary Dillon as the new CEO.
