(COH), the designer and marketer of fine accessories and gifts, recently posted better-than-expected third-quarter 2012 results on the back of healthy sales in North America and China. Strong brand image, geographical expansion, and new pricing and promotional policies in North American factory business were also the factor behind the growth. The quarterly earnings of 77 cents a share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a couple of cents, and increased 24% from 62 cents earned in the prior-year quarter buoyed by strong top-line growth. The New York based company, Coach, said that net sales for the quarter came in at $1,109 million, up 16.6% from the year-ago quarter, and came ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,101 million.

Thus, the Niwot, Colorado-based company expects to post revenues of more than $1 billion for fiscal 2011, as against revenues of $790 million in 2010. We believe that it is a remarkable achievement for the company to garner revenues of $1 billion in less than a decade. The footwear company succeeded in driving its revenue on the strength of its brand and solid presence in the international market. Encouraged by the news, the company’s share price surged $2.61 to close at $18.56 on Wednesday. However, the company reiterated its earnings forecast ]]></description>

Consequently, the company lifted its full year outlook, but remains cautious about the economic environment in Europe. The quarterly earnings of $1.59 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.34, and surged 48.6% from $1.07 earned in the prior-year quarter. Let’s Dig Deep Deckers said that total net sales jumped 49.1% to $414.4 million from the prior-year quarter, and came ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $389 million.

		<description><![CDATA[Yields on treasury bonds were expected to start trending up as the end point for the Fed&#8217;s $600 billion QE2 program came closer. The thinking was that as the Fed stopped buying these bonds, yields will have nowhere to go but up. This fairly plausible view, which has Pimco&#8217;s Bill Gross as one of its exponents, has failed to materialize thus far. With QE2 just days away from coming to a close, yields on the benchmark 10-year treasury bond are below 2.9%. Yields on the shorter maturity treasury bills are close to zero. This would mean that investors in treasury bills are not asking for anything in return for lending money to Uncle Sam. Given the deadlocked debt-ceiling negotiations in DC and Greece&#8217;s debt problems hogging headlines, is the bond ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke continues to be the enemy of savers. On Wednesday, the Boston Red Sox fan reiterated his belief that interest rates should be kept at rock-bottom levels for an extended period of time. He views this as necessary in order to keep the economy growing. Part of Bernanke&#8217;s problem has been his inability to accelerate the pace of money movement, or velocity. Velocity is an economic measure of how many times a dollar is used to purchase goods and services. For instance, if I give you a $100 bill and you put it into your dresser, there is no real velocity. However, if you use it to make a repair on your car and then your mechanic spends the cash on buying a replacement part, velocity ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Skechers USA&#8217;s (SKX) fourth-quarter 2010 earnings missed the Zacks expectations, and plunged 87.9% from the prior-year quarter. Skechers indicated that it has witnessed order cancellations as the market was flooded with lower-priced toning product. Consequently, total inventories increased 77.9% to $398.6 million, over the prior-year quarter. However, Skechers indicated that it would try to lower its inventory level over the next two quarters, while generating reasonable margins. The stock is trading at a premium to the peer group, based on fiscal 2011 forward earnings estimates. We have a long-term Underperform recommendation on the stock. Our target price of $17.00, 12.2X 2011 EPS, reflects this view. SKECHERS USA-A (SKX): Free Stock Analysis Report Zacks Investment Research]]></description>

We believe, Skechers’ sustained focus on new lines of products, opening of new retail stores and distribution channels, and the development of new international distribution agreements, should facilitate the increase in sales and profitability. With growing operations in Brazil, China, Hong Kong and Chile, the company remains on track to continue its growth momentum in fiscal year 2010. The company’s quarterly earnings had outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the four quarters of fiscal year 2009.

		<description><![CDATA[Amid a weak retail environment, Coach, Inc. (COH), the designer and marketer of fine accessories and gifts, recently reported second-quarter 2010 results that topped Zacks&#8217; expectations. Coach’s quarterly earnings of 75 cents a share outdid the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 72 cents, and jumped 11.9% from 67 cents delivered in the prior-year quarter. Coach was buoyed by positive comparable-store sales achieved at North American stores, competitive pricing and innovative products, which lured customers in the holiday season. Total net sales climbed 10.9% year-on-year to $1,065 million, driven by a 16% gain achieved in the North America retail business and strong growth in the China business with a double-digit rate increase in comparable-store sales. Comps at North American stores rose 3.2%, the first increase in over a year. The rise in ]]></description>

Although earnings per share decreased 5% year over year, it exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 6 cents. Total revenues decreased 4% during the quarter to $4.4 billion, compared to $4.6 billion in the year-ago period, primarily due to the continued economic downturn that led to a cut in consumer discretionary spending. Revenues fell across all the geographic regions, except the Emerging Markets, where revenue increased 8% year-over-year. Selling and administrative expenses decreased 4% during the quarter due to lower marketing and personnel costs. Nike paid a tax rate of 23.5% during the quarter, compared to 24.9% in the year-earlier ]]></description>
