Q417 Snap - FY18 investment catch-up

TIF reported Q417 EPS of $1.67, incl a 4c tax benefit, vs consensus $1.63. Q4 comps ended lower than the Holiday run rate, indicating some January slowdown. The sharpest slowdown appears to have been in Asia-Pacific, which went negative after a positive Holiday. FY18 guidance is reiterated to the mid-single-digits for sales growth and specified to a range of $4.25 - $4.45 (tax rate in the high 20%s) versus consensus $4.52 (tax rate 27.5%). In January the company had guided to EPS flat to slightly down YoY, excluding tax, and it looks as if the bottom end of this preliminary guidance range has moved lower.
