3.22%Positive
The earnings call reflects a mixed sentiment. Positive aspects include a 10% dividend increase, strong EPS growth, and effective cost management. However, concerns about tariffs, inflation, and vague guidance on the consumer environment and e-commerce progress balance these positives. The guidance for low-single-digit revenue growth also tempers expectations. Given these factors, the stock price is likely to remain stable, resulting in a neutral outlook over the next two weeks.
