A nod from the Duchess of Sussex is helping Aritzia Inc. attract global exposure.
Shares of the Vancouver-based fashion retailer touched a 52-week high on Thursday as first-quarter comparable sales growth reached 10.9 percent, compared with 9.3 percent in the same quarter last year. First-quarter adjusted earnings per share and revenue also topped analyst estimates.
"Excellent Q1 same-store sales growth highlights just how well consumers (including the newest member of the royal family) are responding to Aritzia’s" products, CIBC World Markets analyst Mark Petrie said in a note to clients.
It's official! The new royal couple exchanged their vows at a royal ceremony at Windsor Castle, near London, in England. They were seen blushing and making eye contact while the ceremony was in process.
Here's how a quick look:
Following the Invictus Games trials at the University of Bath in April, Markle was seen wearing an Aritzia trench coat. That same month, Harper’s Bazaar called Aritzia Markle’s go-to spot "for most of her accessibly-priced pieces."
"In particular, the strong growth in the U.S. - in-store and online - proves out a highly differentiated and on-trend concept with a growing following", Petrie added. CIBC thinks Aritzia has "many levers" to maintain outperformance ahead.
Aritizia sold 25 million shares for C$16 a piece during its initial public offering in September of 2016.
