Shares of Ollie's Bargain Outlet got a boost from sturdy first-quarter fiscal 2021 results, wherein the top and the bottom line not only improved year on year, but also surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The company posted adjusted earnings of $0.80 per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.66 and surged 64.9% from $0.49 reported in the year-ago quarter. Net sales increased 29.5% year over year to $452.5 million and surpassed the consensus mark of $423.9 million. Results gained from growth in comparable store sales and new store unit. It also benefitted from higher consumer spending stemming from the third-round of federal relief funds for the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Management highlighted that comparable store sales in the second-quarter are progressing ahead of expectations. The company is on track with executing long-term growth opportunities and expanding its store base.
Price and Consensus

Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.
For Ollie's Bargain Outlet, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 1.1% lower over the last 30 days to the current level.
