Limitless Finance(@trylimitlessfin):🚨 OLLIE’S $OLLI JUST RAISED ITS BUYBACK TARGET TO NEARLY 4% OF ITS MARKET CAP And it’s doing it while the $OLLI stock remains 44% below its 52-week high. Ollie’s already repurchased $137.3M in H1, and its expected diluted share count has fallen from 60.9M to 60M. That helps explain something unusual: • Sales guidance went DOWN 1.9%. • BUT adjusted EPS guidance went UP 2.4%. • Gross-margin guidance also jumped from 40.7% to 41.3%. The bull case is that management thinks the 44% collapse has made $OLLI stock cheap enough to start aggressively buying again. The bear case is that buybacks, margin expansion, and tariff benefits are masking weak comparable sales. Is $OLLI buying the dip of the year, or financially engineering its way around slowing growth?
