Tiffany reaffirms guidance for FY10, sees EPS of $1.50-$1.60 versus the consensus of $1.56. CEO said, "We are now almost one month into our second quarter and, although it's still too early to draw any conclusions, we are seeing a lessening in the rate of year-over-year total sales decline, as we expected. The rate of decline has improved slightly in the Americas and to a greater extent in other regions. Therefore, we reaffirm our previously-announced full year expectations."
