2020 Guidance
The company also announced its guidance for 2020, including the first quarter of 2020. Please refer to the accompanying financial tables at the end of this press release for the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures.
Please note that 2020 adjusted EPS guidance includes a full year effective tax rate of 28% compared to 20% in 2019 due primarily to less tax benefit associated with the vesting of long-term incentive plan and time-vested restricted shares. The higher effective tax rate is expected to reduce both our Q1 and full year 2020 earnings by approximately $0.28 per share.
But does that warrant for such a stock beating ? I'm been burnt a few times in the past catching falling knives, but I guess I never learn :-)
Would love to see your take on this !
