Guess spies opportunities after flat Q3
Denim and fashion brand Guess has reported a 3% growth in third quarter revenues to $651 million, as a strong licensing business and a "disciplined approach" to cost management offset declines in some consumer businesses.

European revenues increased 6%. Americas retail revenues decreased 7% but wholesale revenues increased 4%.

CEO Carlos Alberini said: “We are confident in our plans for the holiday season and have a strong inventory position to respond well to customer demand. We are navigating through an uncertain shopping environment in many parts of the world impacted by geopolitical issues and lower consumer confidence. 

“Based on these factors and our recent sales trends, we are taking a more cautious view for our fourth quarter outlook and now expect to deliver net revenue growth of 2% and an operating margin of roughly 9% for the fiscal year. We have identified many opportunities to grow our business and are working on our strategy to capture these opportunities and deliver strong value to our shareholders.”
