March same-store sales jumped 14 percent, outpacing analysts' expectation of a 6.4 percent increase, according to Thomson Reuters Data. "Shoes, home and dresses were the best performing categories in March, while the Mid-Atlantic, Northwest and Southeast were the strongest regions," Chief Executive Michael Balmuth said.

The company raised its first-quarter earnings view to between $1.14 and $1.16 a share, up from an earlier forecast of 92 cents to 95 cents a share.

Analysts on average were looking for first-quarter earnings of 97 cents a share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

The off-price retailer, which competes with larger rival TJX Cos Inc (TJX.N), expects second-quarter earnings of between 95 cents and 99 cents a share, above analysts' view of 94 cents a share.

Shares of the rose 4 percent to $56.31 in morning trade on Nasdaq. They had closed at $54.14 Wednesday 7 April. (Reporting by Shradhha Sharma in Bangalore; Editing by Jarshad Kakkrakandy)
