What Happened:
Shares of department store chain Dillard’s (NYSE:DDS) jumped 9.04% in the morning session after the company reported second quarter results that exceeded Wall Street's expectations for revenue, gross margin, and EPS. That the company continues to repurchase shares should also please shareholders.
On the other hand, same store sales missed (although again, revenue beat), and the company called out a "cautious consumer" in the press release, which was observed in the first quarter and continued in the first few weeks of the second. Overall, it was a positive quarter for the company considering the solid results and share repurchase program.
