The Texas-based company said it expects 2017 earnings per share of between $2.05 and $2.17 a share, above the $2.04 estimate from analysts polled by Reuters.
Michaels posted fourth-quarter adjusted earnings of 96 cents per share on revenue of $1.75 billion on Tuesday. Net sales rose 4.1 percent year-over-year from $1.7 billion.
A consensus of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected earnings of 95 cents per share on revenue of $1.76 billion.
