Five Below (FIVE) was a big mover last session on higher-than-average trading volume. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions might not help the stock continue moving higher in the near term.

Since 2019, many voters saw their incomes slip further behind the increase in prices of goods and services. The candidate they elected, Donald Trump, plans to impose tariffs that could accelerate some prices and squeeze the stock prices of some many retailers.

FIVE and other retail companies that import a lot of foreign products with a focus on China slide after Trump???s historic election win.

Five Below has seen significant growth but faces concerns over future growth and bottom-line issues, leading to a 47.1% stock decline over the past year. Despite a 6.1% stock rise since July, driven by revenue growth expectations, earnings guidance still points to worsening financials, making it a 'hold' rather than a 'buy'. Management forecasts Q3 revenue between $780M and $800M, driven by new store openings, but expects a significant decline in net income, highlighting ongoing profitability challenges.

Changes in the political landscape could negatively affect the company, believes a group of pundits.
