$OXM getting "LULUed" after hours following a huge guide lower. Apparently people are tired of the floral prints at Lily Pulitzer. Less bright colors they said. Tepid demand for $150 quarter zips at #southerntide isn't helping matters either. The market seems to think that $0.70 quarterly dividend is at HUGE risk. No position.

$DLTH is a perfect case study on where AI & stock screeners might get tripped up and on why doing the manual work still matters. Even though the headline acknowledges a large tariff refund, adjusted EPS does not “adjust.” Adjusted EPS is 6c, not 50c! Source: @InfoArbMonitor https://t.co/RBcbuTAHmX

"But my quarterly deceleration" the Wall Street idiot cries out as his wife leaves him for a cashier at the local grocery store. $EVC https://t.co/9Z5qvFrCCh
