That worked well enough that the company now plans to phase out its chain of retail stores, which served the same purpose, a slight change in strategy since the company planned to just about double its store base during this fiscal year. Advanced Marketing popped up $3 1/2 to $25 after it said fiscal third quarter EPS was $1.18, up from last year's $0.80 and crushing the two-analyst estimate of $0.84 provided by First Call. This was the eighth consecutive quarter the company met or beat Wall Street's projections. CEO Michael Nicita credited increased business in higher-margin book categories and growing sales from international subsidiaries for the windfall. The company also announced a 3-for-2 stock split effective Feb. 15. ADMS do business(55%) with WallMart and KMART. Current Price: $25.00 | ||||||||||||
