Foot Locker — The athletic footwear and apparel retailer reported adjusted quarterly profit of $1.53 per share, missing estimates by 7 cents a share. Revenue also came in below forecasts, and a comparable-store sales increase of 4.6% was below the 5.1% estimate of analysts surveyed by Refinitiv.

Hibbett Sports — Hibbett Sports earned an adjusted $1.61 per share for the first quarter, 29 cents a share above estimates. The sporting goods retailer’s revenue beat estimates as well, and a comparable-store sales increase of 5.1% trounced the consensus forecast of a 1.6% rise.
The Buckle — The accessories retailer fell 4 cents a share shy of consensus forecasts with quarterly profit of 31 cents per share. Revenue was above analysts’ forecasts, however, and comparable-store sales dropped a less than expected 1.3%. Analysts had been anticipating a 2.4% decline in comp sales.

Amazon.com — Amazon shares will reach $3,000 between mid-2021 and mid-2022, according to a Piper Jaffray analyst report. Piper said that this move — which would be a more than 60 percent jump from current levels — is based on Amazon meeting what it considers conservative growth targets.
