Gymboree Corporation (GYMB) recently revised its earnings guidance for the fiscal fourth quarter which ends Jan 30. Earnings per share are now expected to be in the range of $1.03 to $1.06 which is higher than the prior guidance of 95 cents to $1.03.

Gymboree attributes the rise to better than anticipated gross margin rates resulting from better management of inventory and markdowns. Same store sales are still expected to be in the range of the low to mid-single digits.

Gymboree is a specialty children's retailer of clothing and accessories with 956 stores in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.
