1254 ET - Williams-Sonoma's weakness today is somewhat surprising given strong results in F4Q, but the issue may lie with guidance, says Citi's Steven Zaccone in a research note. The home-products retailer forecast revenue to range between a decline of 1.5% to growth of 1.5%, while comp sales are expected to be flat to up 3% while operating margins were set between 17.4% and 17.8%. Zaccone says the guidance may be considered by some too optimistic given growing consumer uncertainty and tariff risk. "In addition, guidance for sales growth and a lack of EBIT margin expansion may disappoint investors at this point in the company's lifecycle," adds the analyst. Williams-Sonoma slides 6.7% to $160.75. (denny.jacob@wsj.com; @pennedbyden)
