OLLI's earnings report is right around the corner. Here's a quick overview of what's going on:

Ollies Bargain CS (OLLI) is reporting earnings on Thursday. Lets focus in on how the stock is performing.

Analysts are estimating Ollies Bargain CS will report an EPS (earnings per share) of $0.33, GAAP of $0.34, on revenue of $457.43M on Thursday. Over the last 90 days, analysts have lowered estimates 3 times and raised them 10 times.

Bulls will want to hear that the company beat the analysts' estimates and that the beat is on unexpectedly higher revenues. They'll also want the company to paint a picture that leads analysts to conclude this is just the start of an robust growth story that will play out in the following quarters.

If you're a bear you'll primarily care about two things. The first is that the reported EPS underperformed analysts estimates. The stock should move on just that news alone. The second is that the report paints a pretty depressing picture of how the company will decelerate or even see a decline in revenues over the following quarters. EPS underperformance, and a negative growth story, those are the things to watch.

Regardless of which side of the fence you're on, it's important to note that sometimes the company's earnings report plays less of a role in moving the price than the analysts' estimates. This can be caused by a change in the analysts' estimates based on the Q&A from the conference call with management discussing the earnings report.

Share price moves can have an impact on existing shareholder sentiment. As of August 24 shares of OLLI are trading at $64.31. Over the last 52-week period, the price is down -24.14%.
