Ross Stores, Inc. ROST is likely to post year-over-year top and bottom-line growth when it reports second-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings on Aug. 20, after market close. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues is pegged at $6.1 billion, indicating a rise of 10.7% from the year-ago quarter’s figure.The consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at $1.92 per share, up 23.1% from the year-earlier period. The consensus mark has risen a penny in the past seven days.ROST has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 10.2%, on average. In the last reported quarter, the company posted an earnings surprise of 18.8%. Ross Stores’ second-quarter fiscal 2026 performance is expected to have been supported by broad-based strength across its merchandise categories, fueled by solid customer response at the banners. Its ability to consistently deliver value-driven bargains continues to resonate with price-conscious consumers amid a cautious discretionary spending backdrop. Consistent execution of store expansion plans is also expected to have supported top-line growth.Ross Stores is focused on strengthening its off-price business by offering customers compelling value, expanding its store network and improving merchandise execution. The company is working to broaden its merchandise assortments, offer more recognizable brands and improve the speed and timing of product flow. Backed by its proven business model, Ross Stores is poised to have generated increased traffic, stronger same-store sales and improved profitability for the quarter under review. On the last reported quarter’s earnings call, the company had forecast comparable-store sales (comps) to increase 6-7% and earnings per share of $1.85-$1.93, with operating margin guided to 12.8-13% for second-quarter fiscal 2026. Second-quarter fiscal 2026 guidance assumes merchandise margin improvement and lower distribution costs as the company celebrates the opening of a new Arizona distribution center. Our model anticipates operating margin to rise 12.8% and earnings per share of $1.86 for the second quarter.However, Ross Stores remains cautious about ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties, persistent inflation and their impact on consumer spending. The company also continues to face tariff-related headwinds, as evolving trade policies and elevated duties put pressure on its cost structure. Changes in ticketing, processing and import costs driven by tariffs are likely to have increased volatility in cost of goods sold and limited earnings.

Alliance Laundry Holdings Inc. ALH reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of 41 cents per share, up 32.3% from a year ago and above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 35 cents. Net revenues rose 7% year over year to $477 million but slightly missed the consensus estimate of $478 million.

This Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company’s shares have gained 10.8%, outperforming the industry’s 13.8% decline. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Gross profit climbed 9% year over year to $189.9 million. Gross margin improved about 90 basis points to 39.8% as pricing offset tariff exposure and other inflationary pressures, supported by the company's local-for-local manufacturing footprint.Adjusted EBITDA rose 12% to $133.8 million, while adjusted EBITDA margin increased about 135 basis points to 28.1%. Volume leverage, operational excellence and supply-chain efficiency aided profitability. These benefits were partly offset by legal expenses and higher public-company costs, net of tariff refunds and insurance proceeds. Alliance Laundry Holdings Inc. price-eps-surprise | Alliance Laundry Holdings Inc. Quote North America revenues increased 9% to $359.3 million. Growth spanned all end markets, with the Vended market benefiting from a mix shift toward larger-capacity machines. Multi-Housing and On-Premise also delivered sturdy results, while Commercial-in-Home posted robust growth. The segment’s revenues outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $353 million.Segment adjusted EBITDA advanced 17% to $113.6 million, and the margin expanded 220 basis points year over year to 31.6%. Pricing initiatives helped offset cost inflation and tariff pressures, while the company’s in-market manufacturing footprint and supply chain offered structural cost protection. The segment’s EBITDA outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $101 million.International revenues were approximately flat at $117.5 million. Asia Pacific delivered strong growth, particularly in developing vended markets, and Europe maintained steady performance across end markets. The segment’s revenues missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $125 million.International adjusted EBITDA declined 8% to $34 million, with the margin falling 230 basis points year over year to 28.9%.

The segment’s EBITDA lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $38.4 million. Operating cash flow increased to $66.3 million from $5.3 million in the year-ago quarter, reflecting stronger cash conversion and working-capital discipline. Alliance Laundry repaid $50 million of debt during the quarter after paying down $65 million in the first quarter.Total debt ended June, 2026, at $1.3 billion and net debt at $1.1 billion. Net leverage declined sequentially to 2.4x and was down from 2.8x at year-end 2025. Lower debt also contributed to a roughly $22 million year-over-year reduction in interest expense. Alliance Laundry kept its 2026 revenue growth outlook unchanged at 6-7%. Management expects revenue performance to be fairly consistent across the second half, while margin expansion is expected to be weighted more toward the fourth quarter because of geographic mix and normal seasonality.The company raised adjusted EBITDA growth guidance to 8-10% from 7-8%, projected earlier. It now targets net leverage of 2.0x by year-end compared with the prior low-2x range. Interest expense is expected to be about $80 million, down from $85 million, while the effective tax-rate assumption was lowered to about 23% from 23.5%, expected earlier. The Gap, Inc.

The consensus estimate has been stable in the past 30 days.In the last reported quarter, the company registered an earnings surprise of 58.3%. We note that in the trailing four quarters, its bottom line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 27.9%, on average. Dillard’s quarterly performance is likely to have benefited from its strategic initiatives and resilient consumer demand. The company’s efforts to capture growth opportunities across its brick-and-mortar stores and e-commerce channels, along with disciplined inventory management, trend-focused merchandise and stronger brand relationships, are likely to have supported sales growth during the quarter under review.Dillard’s focus on fashion-forward merchandise across apparel, accessories, cosmetics and home is supported by a mix of national and exclusive brands. The company is seeing strength in its merchandise categories, particularly home and furniture, ladies’ accessories and lingerie, and shoes. Tight inventory management and curated assortments are helping drive customer engagement and consistent sell-through. Dillard’s has also been remodeling stores to enhance the shopping experience and improve store productivity, while optimizing its activewear business and capitalizing on in-demand categories. These initiatives are likely to have broadened the customer base, strengthened engagement and supported overall sales during the fiscal second quarter. Our model predicts a comparable-store sales rise of 0.7% year over year while retail sales are expected to grow 0.5% year over year for the fiscal second quarter.However, Dillard’s has been witnessing the adverse impacts of a tough operating environment due to the cautious buying behavior of consumers. Additionally, higher expenses are likely to have dented margins and the bottom line in the fiscal second quarter. While we expect SG&A expenses to increase 5% for the quarter under review, the SG&A expense rate is anticipated to expand 130 basis points to 29.6%. Our model predicts a 16.9% year-over-year decline in operating profit for the fiscal second quarter. Dillard's, Inc. price-eps-surprise | Dillard's, Inc.

However, adjusted operating margin remained flat year over year at 11.9%. Somnigroup International Inc. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Somnigroup International Inc. Quote Mattress Firm generated net sales of $922.2 million, down 2.8% from $948.8 million a year earlier, primarily because of store closures. The retailer continued investing in store refreshes, merchandising and customer experience.Adjusted gross margin fell 240 bps year over year to 33.3%, reflecting product mix, higher consumer financing costs, store investments and deleverage. Adjusted operating margin contracted 130 bps to 6.5%, with lower gross margin partly offset by favorable cooperative advertising expenses. Tempur Sealy North America reported sales of $601.8 million, down 5.7% year over year. The segment’s sales lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $613 million.Wholesale sales declined 5.5% to $504.4 million, while direct sales decreased 6.7% to $97.4 million.

The segment’s sales lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $311 million.Wholesale sales grew 7.5% to $116.8 million, whereas direct sales dipped 1.2% to $182.7 million. Wholesale sales came above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $115 million, whereas direct sales missed the consensus mark of $195 million. International gross margin fell 80 bps to 47.4%, primarily due to commodity cost inflation before pricing actions, partly offset by operating efficiencies. Operating margin declined 120 bps to 12.4% on lower gross margin. This Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company generated operating cash flow of $482.8 million in the six months ended June 30. It ended the quarter with total debt of $4.4 billion and consolidated indebtedness less netted cash of $4.3 billion. The company exited the quarter with $112 million of cash and cash equivalents.Leverage was 2.99 times for the trailing 12 months ended June 30, 2026, returning to Somnigroup’s 2-3 times target range. Management expects nearly 50% of 2026 free cash flow to fund dividends and share repurchases. The proposed Leggett & Platt acquisition remains targeted to close before the end of the third quarter.Somnigroup has announced a third-quarter cash dividend of 17 cents per share, payable Sept. 3, 2026, to shareholders of record as of Aug. 20, 2026. Somnigroup lowered its 2026 adjusted earnings guidance to $2.85-$3.15 per share from the prior $3.00-$3.40 range. The midpoint implies approximately 11% growth from 2025. Management now expects roughly $7.6 billion in sales after intercompany eliminations and adjusted EBITDA of about $1.39 billion at the midpoint. The outlook assumes the global bedding industry declines by a mid-single-digit percentage on a year-over-year basis. Tempur Sealy North America like-for-like sales are expected to grow at a low-single-digit rate, International sales are projected to rise low single digits and Mattress Firm like-for-like sales are expected to decline slightly. Reported gross margin is projected to be slightly above 45%, thanks to 100 bps of net margin expansion from operational efficiencies, with synergies and operating leverage, somewhat offset by the impact of Tempur Sealy's pricing efforts. This outlook contemplates the company’s assumption for Tempur Sealy brands and private labels to be in the mid-60s percent of Mattress Firm total sales. This highlights an incremental $65 million of adjusted EBITDA benefit for 2026 from 2025, and roughly $690 million of advertising investments.CapEx is expected to be approximately $225 million for 2026, including CapEx of $75 million under the Mattress Firm store refreshes and brand wall program.

Arhaus, Inc. ARHS delivered an impressive second-quarter 2026 performance, benefiting from strong customer demand, higher comparable sales and disciplined execution across its showroom network. The premium home furnishings retailer reported earnings and revenues that beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate and improved year over year. Encouraged by the stronger-than-expected performance and the benefit from previously paid IEEPA tariff recoveries, management raised its 2026 profitability outlook while maintaining its revenue guidance.

The growth was particularly noteworthy as the company lapped a strong prior-year comparison that benefited from the accelerated ramp-up following the insourcing of its Dallas Distribution Center. Management also noted that year-over-year comparisons are expected to become more favorable through the remainder of 2026.Retail revenues increased 7.4% year over year to $320.2 million from $298.2 million and surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $300 million by 6.7%. eCommerce revenues rose 7.4% year over year to $64.7 million from $60.2 million but missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $67.1 million by 3.6%. Comparable delivered sales increased 4%, while comparable written sales climbed 12.5%, driven by strong demand across all three customer channels and broad-based strength across product categories. Management noted continued momentum in custom upholstery, outdoor and home decor offerings, supported by resilient demand from its premium customer base.At the end of the second quarter, the company operated 109 showrooms across 31 states. The company completed four showroom projects, including new showroom openings in Ashburn, VA, and Ontario, CA, along with a relocation in Westlake, OH, and an expansion in Lone Tree, CO.

Gross profit increased 16.1% year over year to $172.1 million from $148.2 million, while gross margin expanded 330 basis points to 44.7% from 41.4% in the prior-year quarter. The improvement reflected a $23.8 million benefit from IEEPA tariff recoveries, of which $15.5 million related to inventory sold prior to April 2026. Excluding the tariff recovery benefit, gross margin was 40.7%, reflecting continued pressure from higher fuel and shipping costs.Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses rose 16.1% to $117.8 million from $101.5 million, primarily reflecting strategic technology investments, higher selling expenses associated with new showroom projects and other growth initiatives. As a percentage of net revenues, SG&A increased 230 basis points to 30.6% from 28.3% in the prior-year quarter.Operating income increased 16% year over year to $54.3 million from $46.8 million, supported by higher revenues and tariff recoveries that more than offset increased operating expenses.Adjusted EBITDA increased 16.8% year over year to $70 million from $59.9 million, while adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 150 basis points to 18.3% from 16.8%. Excluding the benefit from tariff recoveries, adjusted EBITDA would have been $55 million and adjusted EBITDA margin 14.3%, reflecting higher fuel and shipping costs, increased showroom investments and strategic growth initiatives. Arhaus ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $226.4 million and remained debt free. Cash declined sequentially, reflecting the payment of a $49 million special cash dividend in March.Net merchandise inventory increased 4.3% to $353.5 million, while client deposits rose 11.8% to $263.8 million from year-end 2025. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $59.8 million during the first six months of 2026, while net cash used in investing activities was $36.9 million, including $29 million in company-funded capital expenditures and $8 million in landlord contributions.

The company maintained its 2026 net revenue outlook of $1.43-$1.47 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 3.7% to 6.6%, and continued to expect comparable delivered sales between flat and up 3%. However, management raised its profitability outlook to reflect the benefit from previously paid IEEPA tariff recoveries. The company expects net income of $71-$80 million, up from the prior outlook of $66-$75 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $160-$171 million compared with the earlier range of $150-$161 million.For 2026, Arhaus continues to expect approximately 10 to 14 showroom projects, including four to six new showroom openings and six to eight relocations, renovations or expansions, representing mid-single-digit net unit growth for the year.For the third quarter of 2026, the company expects net revenues to be between $355 million and $375 million, representing year-over-year growth of 3% to 8.8%. Comparable delivered sales are projected to range from a decline of 1% to growth of 5%, while net income is expected to be between $8 million and $13 million and adjusted EBITDA between $26 million and $34 million. Management noted that the outlook continues to reflect uncertainty related to the consumer environment, geopolitical conditions and the timing of written sales converting into delivered sales.

Total orders grew 11% to 2.701 million, surpassing the consensus estimate of 2.649 million. Average order value was $299 compared with $300 a year earlier, with the slight decline reflecting a greater contribution from lower-priced Grow-Good beauty products.

This marked the third consecutive quarter of double-digit growth across both operating segments.

International net sales grew 16% to $78.4 million and accounted for nearly 23% of total revenues, the highest mix reported by the company. Management noted growth across all regions, with Mexico remaining strong and the Middle East rebounding from a weak start to deliver double-digit growth for the quarter. RVLV posted gross profit of $196.7 million, up 18% year over year, as gross margin expanded 254 basis points to 56.6%. The increase included a 162-basis-point benefit from IEEPA tariff refunds. Excluding the refunds, gross margin still improved about 92 basis points, helped by AI and data-driven recalibration of markdown algorithms.The REVOLVE segment’s gross profit increased 18% year over year to $176.9 million. Its segment gross margin was about 58.5%, compared with roughly 55.9% a year earlier, and included a $5.2 million tariff-refund benefit.FWRD gross profit rose 15% to $19.7 million.

The operating margin expanded to 6.4% from 5.8%, despite higher investments in marketing, physical retail, the REVOLVE Los Angeles label and the Grow-Good beauty venture.Adjusted EBITDA rose 17% to $26.8 million, including a $5.6 million benefit from tariff refunds. The adjusted EBITDA margin increased 30 basis points year over year to 7.7% from 7.4%. Revolve increased marketing spending to support major growth initiatives during the second quarter. Marketing expenses rose to $57.5 million, or 16.5% of net sales, from $47.1 million, or 15.2%, in the year-ago quarter. The increase mainly reflected investments in the REVOLVE Los Angeles namesake label, brand-building initiatives and newer marketing channels, including connected television.Selling and distribution expenses increased to $62.1 million, or 17.9% of net sales, from $53.8 million, or 17.4%, a year earlier. Management attributed the reduced efficiency to higher customer shipping costs, including variable fuel and other surcharges in international markets, partially offset by a lower product return rate.Fulfillment costs were $11.6 million, or 3.3% of net sales, compared with $9.8 million, or 3.2%, in the prior-year quarter. The increase primarily reflected higher compensation expenses for fulfillment staff, partly offset by the lower return rate.General and administrative expenses rose to $43.4 million, or 12.5% of net sales, from $38.3 million, or 12.4%. Higher spending was tied largely to investments in the REVOLVE Los Angeles label, physical retail expansion and the Grow-Good beauty venture developed with Cardi B. RVLV used $8.2 million of cash in operating activities during the second quarter, compared with $12.6 million generated in the year-ago period. Free cash flow was negative $10.9 million versus positive $9.6 million a year earlier, primarily because unfavorable working-capital movements more than offset the increase in net income.For the first six months of 2026, operating cash flow remained positive at $41.2 million, while free cash flow totaled $34 million. The company repurchased 497,675 Class A shares for $9.9 million during the quarter at an average price of $19.98 per share.The balance sheet remained a key financial strength.

Management noted that the year-over-year comparison was affected by tariff-related shipment delays that reduced inventory in the prior-year period. On a two-year stacked basis, net sales growth exceeded inventory growth by approximately 5 percentage points. Revolve said the second REVOLVE Los Angeles collection delivered stronger early sell-through than the initial assortment. Management plans to establish the namesake label with premium products before expanding into additional categories and price points to support more meaningful sales volumes from 2027 onward.Grow-Good beauty products, developed with Cardi B, also generated strong early demand, with the first three product drops selling out within hours. The company expects to begin receiving a significantly larger inventory restock in the fall. Management added that Grow-Good carries gross margins that are highly accretive to the overall business and attracts customers with limited overlap with REVOLVE and FWRD.Management also emphasized international expansion, physical retail and artificial intelligence. Mexico continued to post strong growth following marketing and service improvements, while the Middle East rebounded from a weak start to deliver double-digit growth for the quarter. Revolve remains on track to open its third physical store at Aventura Mall in greater Miami during the fourth quarter.On the technology front, RVLV plans to test an AI-powered image-search feature that will allow shoppers to upload a photograph and find identical or similar products. The company is using AI-powered internal analytics tools that allow employees to query enterprise data in plain English while monitoring traffic and conversion trends across its physical stores. Revolve’s updated 2026 outlook reflects continued investment in growth initiatives amid geopolitical uncertainty, tariffs, inflation, supply-chain pressures and foreign currency volatility. Management noted that the gross margin forecast excludes any additional IEEPA tariff refunds.For 2026, RVLV maintained its gross margin outlook at 53.5-54%. Fulfillment expenses are still expected to be 3.2-3.4% of net sales, while selling and distribution expenses remain projected at 17.1-17.3%.The company raised its marketing expense forecast to 15.8-16% of net sales from 15.3-15.8%, reflecting second-quarter spending and continued investment in long-term growth initiatives.

Steven Madden, Ltd.  SHOO delivered impressive second-quarter 2026 results, with both the top and bottom lines surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate and increasing year over year. Broad-based strength across its Steve Madden, Kurt Geiger and Dolce Vita brands, along with healthy wholesale and direct-to-consumer ("DTC") demand, drove robust revenue growth and margin expansion. Encouraged by the strong performance, management raised its fiscal 2026 revenue and adjusted earnings outlook.Shares of Steven Madden have gained 27.1% over the past three months, significantly outperforming the industry's 0.2% increase during the same period. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Steven Madden reported second-quarter revenues of $665.9 million, up 19.1% year over year. Excluding Kurt Geiger, revenues increased 11.2%.Wholesale revenues increased 13% to $407.5 million, while DTC revenues climbed 30.6% to $255.4 million. Excluding Kurt Geiger, wholesale and DTC revenues increased 11.5% and 11.1%, respectively. Steve Madden global comparable sales rose 9%, including a 17% increase in the United States, reflecting continued strength in the company's flagship brand.Profitability improved meaningfully during the quarter. Adjusted gross margin expanded 460 basis points year over year to 46.5%, driven by higher average selling prices, reduced promotional activity, lower tariff pressure and a lower mix of private-label business. Adjusted operating margin increased to 6.7% from 4% a year ago, while adjusted earnings more than doubled to 44 cents per share from 20 cents.Steven Madden strengthened its balance sheet by using tariff-related refunds to reduce debt. The company ended the quarter with $94.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and net debt of $30.1 million, while inventories declined 13.7% year over year. Following the strong second quarter, management raised its fiscal 2026 outlook. Steven Madden expects revenue growth of 11-13%, up from the prior expectation of 10-12%. Adjusted earnings per share are projected in the range of $2.05-$2.15, compared with the earlier guidance of $2.00-$2.10. The company reaffirmed its EPS guidance of $2.55-$2.65.Management raised its expectations for several key brands. The Steve Madden brand is expected to deliver high single-digit revenue growth in 2026, Kurt Geiger is projected to generate mid-teens pro forma revenue growth and Dolce Vita is expected to post high single-digit to low-double-digit revenue growth. Despite the recent rally, Steven Madden's valuation remains attractive. The stock currently trades at a trailing 12-month price-to-sales ratio of 1.21X, below the industry average of 1.27X, suggesting investors are not paying a premium for its improving growth profile. It has a Value Score of A. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Steven Madden continues to execute well across multiple growth initiatives, led by the strong momentum of its flagship Steve Madden brand. Management highlighted healthy demand across women's footwear, men's footwear and handbags, driven by trend-right product assortments and effective marketing campaigns. Reflecting the brand's growing consumer appeal, global online searches for the Steve Madden brand increased 71% during the second quarter, reinforcing management's confidence in its long-term growth prospects.Kurt Geiger remains another important long-term growth driver. The company expanded the brand's U.S. retail footprint by opening two full-price stores during the quarter, bringing the total to seven. Existing stores generated 12% comparable sales growth, while Steven Madden acquired Spain and Portugal distribution business and continues to pursue additional distribution and joint venture opportunities to further expand Kurt Geiger's international presence. The company noted that its in-store personalization service has emerged as a key differentiator for the brand.Dolce Vita continues to gain momentum as an important growth brand within Steven Madden's portfolio. Management highlighted strong performance across both wholesale and DTC channels, supported by demand for jellies, ballet flats, Mary Janes, mid-heel dress shoes and thongs. The brand continued to gain traction in handbags while expanding its presence in international markets, including Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom.Beyond its brand portfolio, Steven Madden continues to strengthen its market position through disciplined execution across its wholesale and DTC businesses. Management noted strong sell-throughs and reorder activity in the branded wholesale business, while DTC momentum continued into the third quarter. Strong performance during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, particularly in the Steve Madden women's footwear business, further underscores the company's ability to capitalize on consumer demand across multiple distribution channels. Despite the strong momentum, Steven Madden faces several near-term challenges. The company's private-label business remains under pressure, with management expecting revenues from the segment to decline at a mid- to high-teens rate in fiscal 2026. While branded products continue to perform well, ongoing weakness in private label could weigh on wholesale growth.Freight and sourcing costs also remain a concern. Management noted that the prolonged conflict in the Middle East has increased air freight usage as the company works to replenish best-selling products and mitigate supply-chain disruptions. Suppliers are finding it increasingly difficult to absorb higher logistics costs, resulting in greater cost pressures during the second half of the year.Tariff uncertainty continues to cloud the outlook. While Steven Madden has benefited from lower tariff pressure this year, management's guidance assumes additional tariffs in the fourth quarter as investigations into structural excess capacity and intellectual property practices remain unresolved. Any further changes in trade policies could increase sourcing costs and dampen profitability.Although management expects gross margins to improve year over year in the second half, it cautioned that the pace of expansion will moderate as the company laps prior pricing actions and the favorable mix benefits from the Kurt Geiger acquisition. These headwinds could limit further margin improvement despite continued healthy demand for the company's brands. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Steven Madden's 2026 earnings has increased by 3 cents over the past seven days, while the 2027 estimate has remained unchanged.Current consensus estimates indicate earnings growth of 25.9% in 2026 and 24.5% in 2027, reflecting confidence in the company's long-term earnings trajectory. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Steven Madden remains well-positioned for long-term growth, supported by strong brand momentum, healthy consumer demand and an improving earnings outlook. While freight costs, tariff uncertainty and weakness in the private-label business remain near-term headwinds, the stock trades at a modest valuation relative to the industry and analysts continue to project robust earnings growth over the next two years.Given its balanced risk-reward profile following the recent rally, Steven Madden appears to be a stock worth holding.
