On July 28, Guess? (NYSE:GES) released earnings for its 2005 second quarter, which ended July 2.
- Revenue growth of 16% was ahead of analyst estimates -- but they've been guessing wrong a lot lately.
- EPS growth of 80% was triple analysts' expectations. (I'm not kidding; they make lots of strange guesses.)
- Growth in accounts receivable and debt is related to a recent European acquisition.
