J.Jill, Inc. (JILL) shares have plummeted by over 40% in 2025 due to a fading earnings outlook. The women’s apparel retailer withdrew its fiscal 2025 guidance, citing macroeconomic uncertainty. The company operates over 200 stores nationwide and is focusing on high-touch customer service in the premium lifestyle market.

Facing a challenging environment, J.Jill is struggling with tariff uncertainties and broader macroeconomic pressures in 2025. New CEO Mary Ellen Coyne is working to turn things around after the company’s revenue fell 5% in Q4 FY24 and Q1 FY25. J.Jill is projecting a 20% drop in adjusted earnings for FY25.

J.Jill’s negative earnings revisions have earned it a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell). With a projected 2% decline in sales for FY25, investors are advised to stay away from JILL stock. Despite paying a dividend, the company has been underperforming its industry and market benchmarks since going public in 2017.

These picks have previously soared by +112%, +171%, +209%, and +232%. Most of the stocks in the report are under Wall Street radar, presenting a ground-floor opportunity for investors.
