Revenue climbed 17.8% year over year to $593.51 million, edging past the $583.72 million estimate by 1.68%, as 27 new store openings and consolidated same-store sales growth of 4.7% drove broad-based demand. A key catalyst behind the earnings strength was $14.70 million in tariff refunds recognized in cost of goods sold, contributing an estimated $0.38 per diluted share and helping expand gross margin 130 basis points to 40.4% of sales. Even stripping out that benefit, underlying product margins expanded 60 basis points, pointing to durable momentum in the core business. Analysts covering the stock maintain a consensus buy rating with price targets well above current levels. Looking ahead, Boot Barn raised its full-year guidance to diluted EPS of $8.80 to $9.23 on total sales of $2.58 billion to $2.63 billion, with plans to open 70 new stores in fiscal 2027.
