The Vancouver-based retailer’s net income was $95.8 million, or 71 cents a share, in the three months ended July 29, almost double the $48.7 million recorded a year earlier and dwarfing analysts’ estimates of $66.5 million, or 49 cents a share. Revenue, meanwhile, was $723.5 million in the second quarter, an increase of 25 percent compared to the same period in 2017, while comparable sales were 20 percent higher.
