fiscal year

The consulting firm, which does mostly government-related work, cut its earnings and revenue outlook for the fiscal year after fiscal second-quarter earnings declined from a year earlier.

Deckers expects sales of $5.35 billion for its current fiscal year, ending in March, which came in below the Street’s expectations.

“These results keep us on track to deliver within our guidance ranges on all key financial metrics for the fiscal year in a challenging consumer and geopolitical environment,” said CEO Jon Moeller in a statement.

The House’s continuing resolution—passed Sept. 19—was designed to keep government humming until Nov. 21, giving Congress eight weeks to work through this fiscal year’s appropriations.

By the end of the month they would be looking to get rid of that cash at the end of the fiscal year, and so be “properly” invested in stocks.
