After May ended up being Volcom’s worst month since December, analyst Mitch Kummetz of Robert W. Baird & Co. said he is lowering his forecast for the company, according to a story in the Orange County Business Journal.
He now forecasts Volcom to earn $9.9 million in the third quarter, below the $11.4 million Wall Street expects on average. . . The report sent Volcom shares down after a run-up that have seen them double since early March. Volcom has a market value of about $320 million.
And that sent Volcom shares down nearly 8 percent to $13.32.
