The shortfall came despite notable operational bright spots, including gross margin expansion of 140 basis points to 33.6%, but higher SG&A expenses of $406.46 million weighed on the bottom line and offset much of that progress. Comparable sales declined 1.6%, though that represented an improvement from the prior year's 3.0% comp decline, and e-commerce growth of 13.6% for the full year underscored the company's ongoing omnichannel push. Jefferies maintained a Buy rating on the stock while trimming its price target to $61 following the results. Looking ahead, management guided fiscal 2026 net sales of $6.18 billion to $6.36 billion and adjusted EPS of $6.10 to $6.60, citing new store openings, loyalty program momentum, and international sporting events as key growth catalysts, while acknowledging persistent consumer financial pressure and potential tariff headwinds.
