Polo profit tops view as demand picks up (Reuters) - Nov 03, 2009

Wholesale sales fell 4 percent. For the current third quarter, Polo said it expects net revenue to fall at a low single digit rate with same store sales ranging from flat to up at a low single digit rate. In the current quarter, Polo sees operating expenses increasing at a high single digit rate, due to higher compensation expenses and larger investments in Asia. Morgan Stanley analyst Chi Lee said Wall Street estimates implied roughly flat expense growth. Goldman Sachs analyst Adrianne Shapira said it was possible for Polo to increase third quarter operating earnings, given recent sales trends, and said she would recommended buying shares on any pullback.
