Sharply lower on the day are shares of Michael Kors Ltd. (KORS) after posting fiscal Q4 profits of $0.90 per share, one cent below consensus forecasts, and revenue increases +17.8% year-over-year of $1.1B, in line with estimates. The big downturn seems to be related to the Q4 same store sales results that were -5.8% year-over-year versus the +5.5% that was expected. The fashion clothing and accessory maker also issued Q1 and full year guidance that was below expectations. Equity volume was huge in just the first 2 hours of the day, with more than 35M shares changing hands compared to normal full day volume of about 3M shares. KORS shares were already about -19% YTD. Option activity is surprisingly neutral with a volume put/call ratio of 1.16 compared to an open interest put/call ratio of only .99. 8 of the 10 most active contracts were puts with by far the largest activity on 06/19/2015 45 puts, with over 13k contracts traded. This was made up primarily of 2 blocks (1k & 9k) which traded at 9:41 & 9:42 ET at the ask price of .35. These appear to be opening buys (which implies bearish activity) given the open interest was only 8 contracts previously.

Etsy (ETSY) reported earnings on Tue 19 May 2015 a/h

charts before earnings

charts after earnings

Etsy Inc. said its loss widened on write-downs related to changes in its corporate structure and other one-time items that masked continued revenue growth at the online marketplace for crafts and vintage items.

Shares fell 14% to $18.03 in recent after-hours trading as the company's revenue fell short of expectations. Through Tuesday's close, the stock had risen 31% from its initial public offering price of $16 last month. On its first day of trading in April, the stock surged as high as $35.74 before closing at $31.

Etsy was founded in Brooklyn in 2005, and it makes money by charging fees to sellers that use its platform. It doesn't produce anything itself. The company has incurred net losses in the past three years, even as revenue has increased sharply.

Overall, for its first quarter that ended March 31, Etsy reported a loss of $36.6 million, or 84 cents a share, compared with a year-earlier loss of $463,000, or a penny a share. Revenue jumped 44% to $58.5 million.

Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected per-share profit of three cents and revenue of $59 million.

Gross merchandise sales--which include items such as shipping fees and net refunds--climbed 28% amid growth in the number of active sellers and buyers.

The number of active sellers rose to 1.4 million from 1.1 million a year earlier. As defined by Etsy, an active seller has been charged fees in the past 12 months for items such as transactions, listings and direct checkout.

The number of active buyers--or those that have made at least one purchase in the past 12 months--increased to 20.8 million from 15.3 million a year earlier.

Gross margin rose to 64.6% from 62%. Total operating expenses surged 73%, driven mostly by higher marketing and overhead costs.

In stocks, El Pollo Loco (NASDAQ:LOCO) tanked 14%, despite clearing most analyst hurdles in a Q1 report delivered late Thursday. The sticking point appeared to be management's earnings guidance, which met current consensus estimates but apparently disappointed investors anticipating an increase. The stock has been consolidating since August, but ended Thursday still 94% above its July IPO price.
