The earnings call presents a mixed picture: strong shareholder return commitment and positive Q3 guidance contrast with declining financial metrics such as revenue and margins. The Q&A provides reassurance about external impacts and growth in the outlet business, but lacks clarity on share repurchase plans. Given the absence of a market cap, we assume moderate sensitivity to these factors, resulting in a neutral prediction for stock price movement.
