beat sales and profit estimates in its third-quarter report and raised its earnings guidance for the current quarter, but shares failed to rally in Thursday's session.
The stock was weighed down by doubts that Chinese officials reportedly have about the prospects of reaching a trade deal with U.S. negotiators. Longtime CEO Tim Boyle on Thursday told Cramer that the apparel company has been shifting sourcing away from China.
"We've, over the last several years, been moving product out of China, not because we don't like China, but frankly because there's been better opportunities in other sourcing countries," he said in a one-on-one interview.

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday cut interest rates for the third time this year and talking heads on Thursday began speculating what the central bank would do about monetary policy in the future.
Chinese officials on Thursday reportedly cast doubts about trade talks with U.S. negotiators, and more questions were abound about the trade dispute between the world's largest economies. Both events triggered a sell-off during the session, which Cramer said should be taken with a grain of salt.
"You need to ignore these parlor games that the commentators love to play. I want you to keep your eyes on the prize, and that's owning high-quality stocks of high-quality companies and riding them through periods of idle chatter," the host said. "I know it is hard believe, but let me tell you: after 40 years of doing this, I can tell you that most of this speculation about the Fed or China trade talks is absolutely meaningless. Do yourself a favor and tune it out."
