For the full year, the firm expects EPS of at least $9.50 and revenues of at least $9.57 billion, which is a beat on both from previous estimates by the company.
Elsewhere, sticking to the sector, Urban Outfitters (NASDAQ:URBN) dropped 2.49%, despite the Philadelphia-based retailer reporting record holiday sales that were mostly in line with expectations.
