Tilly's (TLYS) Reports Q1 Loss, Lags Revenue Estimates
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -12.12%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this clothing and accessories retailer would post a loss of $0.28 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.45, delivering a surprise of -60.71%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates just once.
Tilly's , which belongs to the Zacks Retail - Apparel and Shoes industry, posted revenues of $107.61 million for the quarter ended April 2025, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.54%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $115.86 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Tilly's shares have lost about 68.5% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 1.5%.
While Tilly's has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Tilly's: mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is -$0.06 on $147.22 million in revenues for the coming quarter and -$1.24 on $549.87 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Retail - Apparel and Shoes is currently in the bottom 35% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
One other stock from the same industry, XCel Brands (XELB), is yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2025.
This brand management company is expected to post quarterly loss of $1.12 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -24.4%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 216.7% lower over the last 30 days to the current level.
XCel Brands' revenues are expected to be $1.33 million, down 39% from the year-ago quarter.

Famed market bear Albert Edwards warns of an 'everything bubble' in US stocks and home prices that could soon pop
Société Générale's Albert Edwards, famed for calling the dot-com bubble leading up to the 2000 crash, is again warning investors of a potentially painful plunge ahead. In his latest note to clients this week, Edwards said US stocks and home prices are in an "everything bubble" that he thinks could soon pop. Stock valuations are indeed steep. The Shiller cyclically-adjusted price-to-earnings ratio sits at 38, one of its highest levels ever, and both the trailing and forward 12-month PE ratios of the S&P 500 are historically high. To Edwards, this doesn't sit well with the fact that long-term interest rates have been on the rise. Rising long-end government bond yields tend to weigh on stock-market valuations as investors can find attractive returns without taking on the high level of risk in the stock market. Yet US stocks have seen a robust rally in recent years, gaining 78% since October 2022 lows. The market's high valuations have kept future estimated equity-market yields low. When stocks are more cheaply valued, they can expect higher future returns, and vice versa. "It is notable how the US equity market has been able to sustain nose-bleed high valuations despite longer bond yields grinding higher," Edwards wrote. "I don't expect it'll be able to ignore it much longer." On housing, Edwards said that the home price-to-income ratio in the US has been virtually flat over the last few years following the pandemic bump, while the ratio has dropped in countries like the UK and France. "The US is the only market in which house price/income ratios have NOT de-rated since 2022 as bond yields have risen. Is the US housing market also exceptional relative to Europe? No, it's nonsense and, in time, investors will come to claim they knew that all along," Edwards wrote. As for what could cause the potential bubbles in US stocks and home prices to burst, Edwards said to watch Japan. "In the wake of the ruling party coalition losing its Upper House majority, concerns in the bond market about the risks of further fiscal easing and high inflation are growing," he wrote. Higher inflation in Japan could mean higher interest rates and a further unwinding of the Japanese yen carry trade, in which foreign investors borrowed cheaply in yen and converted to dollars to buy higher-yielding US assets. In 2024, the Bank of Japan unexpectedly hiked rates, roiling global markets as investors liquidated assets they had bought with borrowed yen. In May, Edwards warned rising interest rates in Japan could cause a " global financial Armageddon." Edwards publishes his notes, which regularly express a bearish outlook, under Société Générale's "alternative view," separate from the bank's house view. "A lot of clients who totally disagree with me like to read my stuff," he told Business Insider in May. "It's a reality check."

The Newest Stock in the S&P 500 Has Soared 510% Since Its 2015 IPO, and It's a Buy Right Now, According to Wall Street
Key Points Block has been added to the S&P 500, one of just six companies to make the cut so far in 2025. The company is a fintech pioneer and continues to expand its market. Despite some hiccups earlier this year, Wall Street remains convinced the stock is a buy. 10 stocks we like better than Block › The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) is generally recognized as the most comprehensive measure of the U.S. stock market, made up of the 500 leading publicly traded companies in the country. Given the broad reach of the businesses that make up the index, it is regarded as the most reliable benchmark of overall stock market performance. To be considered for admission to the S&P 500, a company must meet the following criteria: Be a U.S. company Its market cap must be at least $20.5 billion Shares must be highly liquid Have at least 50% of its outstanding shares available for trading Must be profitable based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the most recent quarter Must be profitable during the previous four quarters in aggregate Block (NYSE: XYZ) is the latest addition to the S&P 500, added to its ranks on July 23. That makes it one of only six companies to make the grade so far this year. Since its IPO in late 2015, Block has easily outpaced the market, generating gains of 510%, compared to a 206% increase for the S&P 500 (as of market close on Wednesday). The stock price gains have been fueled by an ever-expanding fintech ecosystem, as its revenue has soared 1,640%, while net income has jumped 867%. Yet, despite the stock's market-beating gains and the company's strong track record navigating the fluid fintech space it helped pioneer, many believe Block is just getting started. Let's examine the opportunity ahead and why Wall Street believes the stock is a buy. A Square peg in a round hole Block, formerly Square, made a name for itself by pioneering mobile payment processing solutions and point-of-sale systems for small businesses. From those humble beginnings, the company now offers a growing suite of tools for entrepreneurs and consumers alike, including payment processing, point-of-sale systems, business loans, digital retail, loyalty programs, marketing, digital wallet, and -- mostly recently -- consumer loans. At the heart of Block's expanding ecosystem is its two-pronged approach: Square Business, which provides services to merchants, and Cash App, which caters to consumers. The seamless integration between the two segments helps spin the flywheel that has been key to Block's success. It was also among the first major public companies to add Bitcoin to its balance sheet, making its initial purchase in October 2020. Block has thus far spent roughly $261 million and currently holds 8,584 Bitcoin, worth roughly $1.03 billion. The company also announced plans to begin accepting Bitcoin as a payment method later this year. Despite a highly competitive landscape, Block continues to expand its role as one of the leading fintech providers. Paint by numbers You don't have to take my word for it. Despite a backdrop of economic uncertainty caused by persistent inflation and tariffs, Block's recent results tell the story. In the first quarter (excluding Bitcoin), revenue of $3.47 billion grew 8% year over year, while gross profit of $2.29 billion climbed 9%. Operating income of $329 million rose 32%, resulting in adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.56, an increase of 19%. Unfortunately, investors were looking for better gross profit, which sent the stock lower -- but the results were solid nonetheless. Block's performance was fueled by gross payment volume (GPV) that grew 7.2% (8.2% in constant currency). Cash App did its part, increasing user engagement, as gross profit per monthly active user grew 9%. Wall Street is bullish Block lowered its guidance earlier this year in response to the continuing uncertainty, but Wall Street remains bullish. Of the 47 analysts who covered the stock thus far in July, 35 -- or an impressive 75% -- rate it a buy or strong buy. TD Cowen analyst Bryan Bergin is a longtime Block bull, maintaining a buy rating and a $115 price target on the stock, which represents potential upside of 44% compared to the stock's closing price on Wednesday. While he acknowledged the macroeconomic headwinds and a slow start in 2025, he believes that the company is on track for continued improvement in the back half of the year. Bergin also points to improvements toward achieving the Rule of 40. The oft-cited metric evaluates growth in relation to profits, and Block is looking to make the grade by the end of 2025 or early 2026. Despite all that potential, Block is remarkably cheap. The stock is currently selling for just 19 times trailing-12-month earnings and 2 times sales. Block's inclusion in the S&P 500 is an important milestone. It's not only a testament to the company's position in an evolving industry, but also the growing adoption of Bitcoin into the mainstream. Given its long track record, strong secular tailwinds, and Wall Street's bullish take, I would submit that Block is a buy. Should you invest $1,000 in Block right now?
