Prior to today's trading, shares of the clothing and accessories maker had gained 11.48% over the past month. This has outpaced the Consumer Discretionary sector's gain of 7.02% and the S&P 500's gain of 4.65% in that time.

This would mark a year-over-year decline of 4.55%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $650.62 million, up 6.36% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $3.30 per share and revenue of $3.28 billion. These totals would mark changes of +15.38% and +6.65%, respectively, from last year.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for GIII. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system, which ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
