Guidance Monday: 5 Companies Issue Preliminary Guidance

Investors and traders are waking up to the first full trading week of 2017 with a handful of companies issuing preliminary guidance.

Given the wide range of market capitalization sizes and completely different industries the companies operate in, it would be difficult to make the case for any macro-wide trends around the health of the economy or individual sectors based on the respective companies announcements.

Iridex

IRIDEX Corporation IRIX, a provider of therapeutic based laser consoles, said that it expects its fourth-quarter revenue to fall in a range of $12.4 million to $12.5 million, which is short of Wall Street's expectations of $12.6 million.

Lululemon

Lululemon Athletica LULU, the maker of "athleisurewear," revised the lower end of its fourth-quarter guidance higher on Monday.

The company said it now expects to earn $0.99 to $1.01 per share in the fourth quarter on revenue of $775.0 million to $785.0 million. This represents an increase from the company's prior outlook of earning $0.96 to $1.01 per share on revenue of $765.0 million to $785.0 million.

Wall Street analysts are currently projecting Lululemon to earn $1.00 per share in the fourth quarter on revenue of $782.0 million.
