Did CROX Beat Earnings? Q2 2026 Results
Crocs, Inc. posted a strong second quarter for fiscal 2026, beating Wall Street expectations on both the top and bottom lines and extending its consensus EPS beat streak to five consecutive quarters. Adjusted diluted EPS came in at $4.55, ahead of the $4.35 consensus estimate by 4.65%, while revenue of $1.18 billion topped the $1.15 billion forecast by 2.67% and grew 2.6% year over year. The clearest driver of the quarter's strength was the Crocs Brand itself, which crossed $1.00 billion in quarterly revenue for the first time on a reported basis, rising 4.3% as international sales climbed 7.8% to $541.70 million. Direct-to-consumer was a standout across both brands, with consolidated DTC revenues growing 12.0%, partly offsetting a 17.2% wholesale decline within the HEYDUDE segment, where revenues fell 5.7% to $179.03 million. With momentum building, management raised full-year 2026 revenue growth guidance to approximately 1% to 2% and lifted adjusted diluted EPS guidance to a range of $13.70 to $14.00, reflecting growing confidence in the Crocs Brand's trajectory even as HEYDUDE works through its recovery.
- Broad consumer demand across both brands
- Healthy direct-to-consumer growth of 12.0% consolidated
- Strong consumer response to new product innovation
- Crocs Brand international revenues grew 7.8%
- Crocs Brand surpassed $1 billion in quarterly revenue
“We are pleased to have delivered a stronger-than-expected second quarter, highlighted by record enterprise revenue, including the Crocs Brand surpassing $1 billion in quarterly revenue for the first time ever. Our results reflect broad consumer demand across both brands, healthy direct-to-consumer growth, and strong consumer response to new product innovation. Based on our strong first half performance, we are again raising our full-year top- and bottom-line guidance.”
