Anyone know when they will release their figures? Could be a blast if half decent.
Wow this is a buzzing forum huh? Looks like a little puff of motivated buying this morning, probably taking a punt ahead of pending results not being as horrific as factored into SP?

News Flash: Analysts Just Made A Captivating Upgrade To Their Kathmandu Holdings Limited (NZSE:KMD) Forecas
Kathmandu Holdings Limited (NZSE:KMD) shareholders will have a reason to smile today, with the analysts making substantial upgrades to this year's forecasts. The consensus statutory numbers for both revenue and earnings per share (EPS) increased, with their view clearly much more bullish on the company's business prospects. The market may be pricing in some blue sky too, with the share price gaining 13% to NZ$1.23 in the last 7 days. It will be interesting to see if today's upgrade is enough to propel the stock even higher.
Following the upgrade, the latest consensus from Kathmandu Holdings' seven analysts is for revenues of NZ$737m in 2020, which would reflect a meaningful 8.8% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are supposed to nosedive 76% to NZ$0.05 in the same period. Yet before this consensus update, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of NZ$658m and losses of NZ$0.027 per share in 2020. So we can see that this has sparked a pretty clear upgrade to expectations, with higher revenues anticipated to lead to profit sooner than previously forecast.
It will come as no surprise to learn that the analysts have increased their price target for Kathmandu Holdings 11% to NZ$1.50 on the back of these upgrades. There's another way to think about price targets though, and that's to look at the range of price targets put forward by analysts, because a wide range of estimates could suggest a diverse view on possible outcomes for the business. There are some variant perceptions on Kathmandu Holdings, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at NZ$1.55 and the most bearish at NZ$1.44 per share. Even so, with a relatively close grouping of estimates, it looks like the analysts are quite confident in their valuations, suggesting Kathmandu Holdings is an easy business to forecast or the underlying assumptions are obvious.
