BJ’s experienced a 15.5% surge in comparable club sales, including an 8.1% contribution of gasoline sales.

BJ's Wholesale Club Inc. posted a slightly higher second-quarter profit recently and raised its full-year earnings forecast as frugal shoppers look for deals at discounters.

"I believe that our value proposition will continue to attract more members as well as to deliver increased frequency," said BJ's President Laura Sen. "Because the majority of BJ's sales are derived from non-discretionary items we have been able to generate strong top line growth in a challenging macro environment."

BJ's raised its full-year profit forecast, the second upgrade in a matter of months. The company now expects earnings for the year of $2.10 to $2.20 per share, up from its May guidance of $2.04 to $2.14 per share. The May forecast was 6 cents per share above the company's previous expectations offered in March.

Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expect earnings of $2.14 per share for the year.

The company also announced that its board has authorized an additional $200 million for share repurchases. During the second quarter, BJ's purchased about 1.4 million shares of its own common stock at an average cost of $37.45 each, or approximately $54 million total.

The stock trades for 6.5x cash flow.
