Levi Strauss Stock Plummets Despite Q1 Earnings Beat and Promotions.

Levi Strauss & Co. shares fell the most on record after reporting a first-quarter gross margin of 55.8%, below expectations due to increased promotions and excess inventory.

However, quarterly revenue exceeded expectations, suggesting that demand for denim held up even as overall consumer spending cooled. Levi is the first of the US mass-market apparel chains to report first-quarter earnings.
