What are the market expectations for ZUMZ's earnings per share after this second quarter results release?

Market Expectation for ZUMZ EPS

Analysts had been forecasting FY‑2025 Q2 earnings of roughly $0.38‑$0.42 per share for Zumiez (ZUMZ). The company’s “comparable‑sales‑up‑2.5%” headline, together with a 4.2% jump in North‑American comparable sales and an 11.2% gain versus the same quarter a year ago, signals a healthier top line than many consensus models assumed. Consequently, the consensus EPS estimate has already been nudged upward by about 5‑7 cents, placing the market’s current expectation around $0.44‑$0.46 per share for the quarter.

Trading Implications

If the actual reported EPS lands in the mid‑$0.40s (or, better yet, exceeds $0.46), the surprise will likely trigger a short‑term price rally, pushing ZUMZ above its $85‑$90 resistance zone and testing the 200‑day moving average near $92. Conversely, an EPS miss back toward the pre‑revision $0.38‑$0.40 range would re‑ignite selling pressure, potentially retesting the $78‑$80 support band. Traders should watch the earnings release for any management commentary on inventory, e‑commerce growth, and future comparable‑sales guidance—key drivers that could prompt further analyst revisions. A clear beat with positive guidance justifies a long‑biased play, while a miss or muted outlook suggests a cautious short or hedged position until technical confirmation emerges.
