Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.

Guess? Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ges#NYSE">GES</a>) posted mixed second-quarter fiscal 2025 results, with the top line increasing year over year. The bottom line declined from the year-ago quarter&#39;s reported figure and missed the consensus mark.
The company is lowering its fiscal 2025 revenue and earnings outlook to reflect the current weaker consumer environment. That said, it is effectively managing its costs and inventories while still supporting business growth through investments in marketing, new stores and infrastructure. The acquisition of rag &amp; bone is likely to have contributed to the positive performance.
<h2>GES&#39;s Quarterly Performance: Key Metrics &amp; Insights</h2>
GES reported adjusted earnings of 42 cents per share that missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 44 cents. However, the bottom line declined 42% from earnings of 72 cents in the year-ago quarter. The company&#39;s bottom-line performance reflects its decision to substantially boost marketing investments compared with last year&#39;s levels. This increased spending was aimed at supporting the international expansion of its brands, including the core Guess brand and the new additions to the portfolio, such as Guess Jeans and rag &amp; bone.
Net revenues amounted to $732.6 million, up 10% year over year. On a constant-currency (cc) basis, net revenues rose 13%. The strong performance was driven by the Rag &amp; Bone acquisition and robust wholesale results in Europe and Americas regions. All segments, except Asia, registered top-line growth. The consensus mark for quarterly revenues was pegged at $732 million.
