Ollie's Bargain Outlet (OLLI) Expected to Beat Earnings Estimates: Should You Buy?

The market expects Ollie's Bargain Outlet (OLLI) to deliver a year-over-year decline in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended April 2025. This widely-known consensus outlook is important in assessing the company's earnings picture, but a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates. The earnings report, which is expected to be released on June 3, 2025, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower. While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise. This retailer is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.70 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -4.1%. Revenues are expected to be $564.69 million, up 11% from the year-ago quarter. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period. Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change. Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core. The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier. Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only. A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP. Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell). For Ollie's Bargain Outlet, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +4.29%. On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3. So, this combination indicates that Ollie's Bargain Outlet will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate. Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number. For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Ollie's Bargain Outlet would post earnings of $1.20 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.19, delivering a surprise of -0.83%. Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates two times. An earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss. That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported. Ollie's Bargain Outlet appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Readers appreciation lesson in community learning in Jamaica Plain

posted on Learning is very important as one ages — it is known to help keep dementia at bay, and it is particularly beneficial if done with others. Many universities offer programs at very low cost for retirees/seniors. The one I belong to now is a great resource. We have classes, hold outings and parties, and do a dining trail through the Lowell area to explore the history, food, and culture of the different ethnic groups there. The program, LIRA — Learning in Retirement Association— is associated with UMass Lowell. Our classes are held there and pretty much all are hybrid, so you can attend via Zoom. Our members range in age from 50s to one who is over 100 and often attends in person! Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.

I would recommend having a book club with neighbors. Something to bring neighbors together and learn more about them.

It promotes enrichment and community among seniors with the aim of helping them stay in their homes in a rich and healthy way. JP, Roslindale, Hyde Park, Brookline, West Rox residents are welcome. There is a membership fee, but it's manageable. Advertisement wumberlog posted on I'm sitting here in the original Pelican Cove in Sarasota, Florida, where our ($40/year) resident-taught education programs continue. ... Past very popular courses included US Security, the American Political System, discussions of American Short Stories, and Music for All. This year there was a lecture on one man's opinion of the Best Rock Band (ever — and why), Watercolor Painting, and Flora and Fauna of Pelican Cove, Sarasota, to name a few. In the evening we have nationally known musicians nearly every week for 13 weeks. Many (but not all) residents are retired. The 'University' courses and beautiful shady campus convinced us to buy here! jmmurph47 posted on While it was enjoyable to read Salvatore Tagliareni's piece about the connections of residents living in the 30-story Jamaicaway Tower, it doesn't diminish the angst I feel whenever I view this architectural monstrosity rising high above the Emerald Necklace and Jamaica Pond. As old-timers such as myself recall, it was constructed well above the height restrictions of the area, due to the permissiveness of so many political connections that sanctioned an end-around of height limitations for this tree-lined area.

I have one question regarding Advertisement Judy Rehfeld Epping, New Hampshire Beautiful renovation but yikes when it comes to those granite stairs to the basement. Hope that glass is reinforced and well-sealed against water intrusion. And if they'd built in any drainage down there, it would have helped a lot to mention it in the article. filmlady posted on How much does it cost to dig that deep and create the renovated basement? It must have been pretty disruptive to the neighbors. It's certainly an interesting idea. nantucketgirl37 posted on My husband who is an architect did same for us in Brookline — it's found space! brilliant22 posted on I know from experience that excavating a basement is costly. Fifteen years ago, my wife and I decided we would stay for the long haul in a modest bungalow in Central Mass., which led to a major renovation. I had the back half of my house up on 28 jacks. We excavated roughly 150 cubic yards of hardpan clay, and lowered our basement by 36 inches. I have 7-foot ceilings there with four I-beams holding up the house. . . . It was a ton of money and a ton of work. Often there is too much focus on the 'eye candy' aspect of renovations. Many readers want to know the costs, timelines, setbacks, and all of the important stuff behind the scenes that no one ever sees. jjshello posted on CONTACT US: Write to magazine@ or The Boston Globe Magazine/Comments, 1 Exchange Place, Suite 201, Boston, MA 02109-2132.
