Eyeglasses and contact lens retailer National Vision Holdings (NASDAQ: EYE) reported its Q3 2019 earnings this morning, beating estimates soundly and sending its stock up 15.1% as of 11:20 a.m. EST on Thursday.
Heading into earnings, analysts had predicted National Vision would report $0.12 per share in adjusted (i.e., pro forma) profit on $427.7 million in sales, but it beat those estimates handily. Earnings came in 50% higher than expected at $0.18 per share on sales of $431.9 million, a beat on both the top and bottom lines.
