Dillard’s Inc., the 83-year-old department store, has soared 417% this year, and it’s thanks in part to its ability to manage a global supply chain snafu amid a jump in customer demand.
Dillard’s gained as much as 23% on Thursday to a record $364.08 after quarterly results blew estimates out of the water. The company’s stronger-than-expected gross margin were likely fueled by strong consumer demand and ongoing supply chain issues that actually benefit retailers, according to Vital Knowledge founder Adam Crisafulli.
