On Monday morning before the market opened, Michael Kors (KORS) announced second quarter earnings that beat analyst estimates and gave shares a bounce.

CEO Comments

John D. Idol, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “This is a transformative time for Michael Kors Holdings Limited as we established our global fashion luxury group with the recently completed acquisition of Jimmy Choo. We believe that bringing together these two iconic brands further strengthens our growth opportunities, increases our product and geographic diversification, and importantly, creates a platform for future acquisitions. We look forward to capitalizing on the great opportunities that lay ahead for our brands and believe that we are well positioned to drive long term growth as we expand our global fashion luxury group.”

KORS Technicals

Shares of KORS were up roughly 4.6% following their strong earnings release and raised guidance. Prices were trading at $49.83 in the premarket.

Look for shares to be volatile with a higher range than normal on heavy volume. The $50 level will act as a major resistance level but if we can break through it then we could see a nice uptrend day.

Above $50 we are looking at $51.5 and $53 as a resistance levels. If shares decide to pullback we should find support at $47.50 followed up by $45.50 and $41.50 if traders decide to take prices lower.
