Duluth Holdings (DLTH) Reports Q1 Loss, Misses Revenue Estimates

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates just once.
Duluth Holdings , which belongs to the Zacks Textile - Apparel industry, posted revenues of $102.7 million for the quarter ended April 2025, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.11%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $116.68 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.
Duluth Holdings shares have lost about 27.5% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 1.5%.
While Duluth Holdings 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 Duluth Holdings: 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.

This Legacy Stock Is Back, Poised for a Major Rebound
Key Points The company is embracing its "Tar-zhay" positioning to focus on superior shopping experiences over rock-bottom prices. Target maintains industry-leading profit margins despite recent revenue challenges. The stock's 4.4% dividend yield is near historic highs and far above other retailer stocks. 10 stocks we like better than Target › Retail stocks have been through a few tough years. The SPDR S&P Retail ETF (NYSEMKT: XRT) posted a total return of 12% over the last year, far behind the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) index's 19%. Stretching the view to a four-year span is even worse. The S&P 500 saw a 44% total return in this period, as of Aug. 11, while the leading exchange-traded fund (ETF) of retailer stocks saw a negative-10% return. Big-box retail veteran and dividend king Target (NYSE: TGT) has lagged behind the broader market and the retail sector in these periods. It's not a close race, and the four-year overview is kind of scary: But I think Target is poised for a robust rebound, starting from this low point. The company is getting back to the brand experience people used to love, under the mock-French "Tar-zhay" banner. Target shouldn't try to out-bargain the low-cost kings Target's management has figured out that the company can't compete with archrivals Walmart (NYSE: WMT) and Costco (NASDAQ: COST) on price alone. That strategy has been tried and abandoned, as the penny-pinching marketing message fell flat. As a result, Target's sales have been swooning since 2022 while Costco and Walmart experienced revenue growth of more than 16%. It's not a complete disaster for Target, though. Balancing out the slower sales, Target's profit margins are among the best in the business. Walmart's and Costco's focus on affordable goods leaves them with slim margins across the board. Target's customers are prepared to pay a little more for a better shopping experience. Target's strong margins are not new, but I'd like to point out that they have stayed in the lead despite the recent revenue challenges. The fancy French twist has deep roots The playful Tar-zhay moniker is also a pretty old idea. I mean that both as a cultural phenomenon and a business strategy. Target embraced the glitzy twist on its name in 2017, along with a new set of store-brand names for different product types. The commitment didn't really stick, as Target never really built its marketing around the Frenchified name itself, but the idea has been explored before. And long before that, I found a lot of people in the upper-crust parts of Miami and Jacksonville using the French-flavored Target name unironically. This was in the late 1990s. So Tar-zhay is a well-known little twist on the Target brand, reflecting a common view of its stores as a nicer place to shop. You don't go to Tar-zhay when you want the lowest price on bananas, jeans, and cat food. That's what Costco and Walmart are for. Here, you're supposed to enjoy the shopping experience in wider aisles with better lighting and maintenance. Human assistance should be easy to find. And the store brands exude a certain je ne sais quoi that even Costco's Kirkland can't always match. Premium Tar-zhay shares at a discount -- where do I sign up? In that sense, the renewed Tar-zhay strategy takes Target back to a proven success story. I mean, it's not a top-shelf luxury store like RH (NYSE: RH) or the Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) store. But it's also a significant step above Walmart's extreme bargain hunt or Costco's overcrowded warehouses. Target's leadership has rediscovered this longtime business advantage, and is busy rebuilding that modestly high-end reputation in 2025. Meanwhile, Target's stock is on fire sale. After years of underperforming the stock market and retail sector, Target shares carry the bargain-bin valuation of 11.4 times earnings and 0.45 times sales. The stock could double or even triple in price and still look affordable next to Walmart or Costco. And if you buy Target shares right now, you're locking in a generous 4.4% dividend yield -- miles ahead of Walmart's 0.9% and Costco's 0.5%, and near the highest yields in Target's dividend-paying history. Turnaround stories don't always have happy endings, but this one is off to a good start. I like the smart-yet-whimsical Tar-zhay focus and this company already runs a profitable business. All Target has to do is inspire people to revisit its stores. I think that's a very achievable goal, making Tar-zhay stock a promising investment these days. Should you buy stock in Target right now?

Gold price today, Wednesday, August 14, 2025: Gold strengthens after inflation report
Gold (GC=F) futures opened at $3,399.60 per ounce on Wednesday, up 1.5% from Tuesday's close of $3,348.90. In early trading, the price of gold moved above $3,400. The latest increase in gold futures follows the release of July inflation data. The Consumer Price Index rose 2.7% annually in July, after a 2.7% increase in June. Continued elevated inflation makes a Fed interest rate cut in September more likely. Stock and gold investors responded positively. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.8% in trading Tuesday. Stock investors prefer lower interest rates because it reduces debt costs and stimulates growth. Gold can also become more attractive in low-rate environments because, unlike cash, it does not pay interest. Current price of gold The opening price of gold futures on Wednesday is up 1.5% from Tuesday's close of $3,348.90 per ounce. Wednesday's opening price marks a gain of 0.6% over the opening price of $3,380.70 one week ago on August 6. In the past month, the gold futures price has gained 2.1% compared to the opening price of $3,330.50 on July 11, 2025. In the past year, gold is up 38.1% from the opening price of $2,461 on August 13, 2024. Don't forget you can monitor the current price of gold on Yahoo Finance 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Want to learn more about the current top-performing companies in the gold industry? Explore a list of the top-performing companies in the gold industry using the Yahoo Finance Screener. You can create your own screeners with over 150 different screening criteria. How to invest in gold As we've been saying all week, investing in gold is a four-step process, and today, we'll explore step 3, choosing a form. Once you define your target gold allocation, you must choose a form of gold to hold. Your four options are: Physical gold Gold mining stocks Gold ETFs Gold futures Physical gold pros and cons Physical gold includes jewelry, gold bars, and gold coins. The advantages of physical gold include: Readily accessible for use. If you keep your physical gold at home, it is easily available for you to use as a medium of exchange in an economic emergency. No added volatility or ongoing fees. Gold mining stocks tend to rise and fall with gold prices, and business-related factors enhance their volatility. Gold ETFs charge administrative fees in the form of expense ratios. Learn more: Take a deeper dive into the gold sector The disadvantages of physical gold include: Risk of theft or loss. Physical gold must be properly secured. Whether you store it in your home or with a depository, gold can be stolen. Lower liquidity. Physical gold is less liquid than stocks or ETFs. If you are not using the gold as a medium of exchange, you may need to locate a dealer and pay a markup on the sale. Gold mining stocks pros and cons Owning shares in gold mining stocks provides indirect gold exposure. The advantages of mining stocks over physical gold include: Greater liquidity. Large-cap gold mining stocks like Barrick Gold Corporation (GOLD) and Franco-Nevada Corporation (FNV) generally enjoy a narrow bid-ask spread, which is a sign of liquidity. The bid-ask spread is the difference between what buyers will pay and what sellers will accept. Easy to store. Stocks live in your brokerage account and do not consume physical space. In normal times, this is an advantage. In an economic catastrophe, this could be a disadvantage if brokers or the stock market are temporarily shut down. Learn more: The top performing companies in the gold industry The disadvantages of owning gold mining stocks include: Greater volatility. Since 2000, gold mining stocks have risen and fallen faster than gold spot prices. And in recent years, gold mining stocks have trended down even as gold has gained value. No utility as a medium of exchange. Gold mining stocks can appreciate, but they have no direct utility as a medium of exchange. Gold ETFs pros and cons Gold ETFs are funds that invest in gold mining stocks or physical gold. Their advantages include: Easy to store. Like gold mining stocks, ETF shares are essentially digital assets with no storage requirements. Greater liquidity. Shares of the most popular gold ETFs, like SPDR Gold Shares ($GLD), are heavily traded which implies good liquidity. Tied directly to gold prices. ETFs backed by physical gold can be less volatile than gold mining stocks or gold mining ETFs. The disadvantages of gold ETFs include: Fund fees. Funds charge fees, which dilute returns over time. For context, the expense ratio of SPDR Gold Shares is 0.40%. This translates to $4 in fees annually for every $1,000 invested. No utility as a medium of exchange. As with gold mining stocks, you probably cannot use ETF shares to trade for food in an economic emergency. Gold futures pros and cons Gold futures are standardized contracts to purchase gold on a future date at a specific price. The contracts often represent 100 troy ounces. The advantages of gold futures are: Leverage. You can control a large amount of gold with a low capital outlay. Convenience. You don't need to store physical gold to earn from its price changes. The disadvantages of investing in gold futures are: Risk. Leverage amplifies gains and losses, and gold can be an unpredictable asset. Complexity. The complexity of futures contracts can be off-putting to many retail investors. Up Next Up Next Price-of-gold chart Whether you're tracking the price of gold since last month or last year, the price-of-gold chart below shows the precious metal's steady upward climb in value. Historic price of gold Historically, gold has shown extended up cycles and down cycles. The precious metal was in a growth phase from 2009 to 2011. It then trended down, failing to set a new high for nine years. In those lackluster years for gold, your position will negatively impact your overall investment returns. If that feels problematic, a lower allocation percentage is more appropriate. On the other hand, you may be willing to accept gold's underperforming years so you can benefit more in the good years. In this case, you can target a higher percentage. The precious metal has been in the news lately, and many analysts are bullish on gold. In May, Goldman Sachs Research predicted gold would reach $3,700 a troy ounce by year-end 2025. That would equate to a 40% increase for the year, based on gold's January 2 opening price of $2,633. Rising demand from central banks, along with uncertainty related to changing U.S. tariff policy, are the factors driving the increase. If you are interested in learning more about gold's historical value, Yahoo Finance has been tracking the historical price of gold since 2000.

It is not just cryptocurrencies hitting records, U.S. stocks are also reaching new highs. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 have set fresh records. Meanwhile, the DXY index, which tracks the U.S. dollar against a basket of major currencies, has slipped back below 98, providing continued support for risk assets. Markets are currently pricing in nearly a 100% probability of a rate cut at the September 17 Federal Reserve meeting, which would bring the benchmark federal funds rate down to 4.00%–4.25%.
