J.Jill's Q3 2024 results were challenging, with comp sales down 0.8% and gross margins hit by promotions and mild fall weather. The company expects Q4 comps to improve but anticipates continued promotions and lower margins. Despite a 15% stock price increase since September 2024, J.Jill is fairly valued with an 11% earnings yield and a potential 14-16% total yield.
Jill's fiscal third-quarter sales increase marginally and meet the Zacks Consensus Estimate, while comparable sales decline 0.8%.

Q3 2024 Earnings Call.

J.Jill (JILL) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.89 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.80 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.78 per share a year ago.
J.Jill's 2Q24 results show a slight revenue growth on a comparable basis, but traffic trends in July and August raised concerns, leading to reduced guidance. The company's capital structure is less leveraged due to issuing 1 million shares, but high leverage rates and questionable capital allocation remain issues. Despite a fair current yield of 12-14%, I maintain a Hold rating due to decreased revenue guidance, high leverage, and unsatisfactory management policies.
J. Jill Inc JILL reported better-than-expected earnings and sales results for the second quarter on Wednesday, but lowered 2024 forecast.
J.Jill's Q2 financials showed resilient comparable sales that slightly exceeded expectations. Profitability beat estimates even though margins came in significantly below the Q2/FY2023 level, mostly due to temporary issues. The market reacted very negatively to J.Jill's slightly lowered FY2024 guidance, which I see as an overreaction amid persisting weak consumer spending. The JILL stock remains undervalued, bringing nearly an 11% cash flow yield in FY2025 with my estimates combined with stable, slow growth going forward.
