The spike came on the heels of Aritzia's latest financial results, which showed the company's net income dropped by 39 per cent to $43.1 million. The company says the quarter was impacted by higher markdowns it rolled out to optimize its inventory levels and pre-opening lease amortization costs it incurred for a number of new flagship boutiques.
