Tiffany & Co. now expects full-year earnings in a range of $4.15 to $4.20 per share. Its prior guidance was for $4.20 to $4.30 per share.

Schick anticipated Tiffany's stock would move lower Monday on the news, but doesn't see any change in the company's core fundamentals or brand. For that reason, the analyst said that he would expect any weakening in the U.S. dollar to benefit Tiffany.
