This looks like a turning around , from losing money to making profit, but the business is doomed to fail ! So many retail companies are struggling to survive in Europe and Asia alike, Guess is still expanding by opening more off line store in these places, what a strategy to fail down the road !
And the shares are so expensive at 13.2 USD !
Sell and wait for its share prices to reflect its doomed business at an era of on line retailers like Amazon.com and Alinbaba, Tamil.com. The share prices will fall in a few quarters just like Sealed Air share prices did.

The dividend yield is very high, however, not sure how the company will keep so high dividend in the future.
