$CTRN pops after Q3 revenue beat — despite an EPS miss
Citi Trends delivered a strong Q3 with
$197.1M revenue (+10% YoY) and 10.8% comp sales growth, crushing expectations. Foot traffic is rising and key categories are clicking. 💥
But EPS came in at –
$0.86 (miss), weighed down by higher SG&A and freight costs.
The big win? Raised full-year guidance.
$CTRN now expects:
✅ High-single-digit comp growth
✅ +230 bps margin expansion
✅
$10–
$12M EBITDA for 2025
They’re also adding 3 new stores and remodeling 62 locations as part of their turnaround strategy.
Weak EPS aside, momentum + upgraded outlook = why traders are watching
$CTRN today. 📈
