A mudança de CEO foi completamente inesperada. Senk era a verdadeira alma da empresa e vamos ver como se recompõe disto.

Um abraço,

Encontrei este comentário algo intrigante...

Urban Outfitters (URBN) ($32.43) is trading down -14% today. This type of post-earnings volatility has become the norm for URBN now that the company no longer has a CFO that is providing almost daily sales and profitability trends to the sell-side analyst community.

Urban Outfitters hit after profit miss
March 8, 2011

By Andria Cheng, MarketWatch

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Retail stocks turned higher on Tuesday after oil futures pulled back from 29-month highs.

Still, Urban Outfitters Inc. was the biggest percentage decliner in the S&P 500 after it reported a shortfall in its fourth-quarter profit amid a fashion shift.

The parent of its namesake chain and Anthropologie said it had to increase discounts to clear excess inventory. The company said it may experience a continued increase in markdown levels until it successfully navigates the fashion shift and the margin pressure could be higher than it experienced.
