Did FIVE Beat Earnings? Q1 2026 Results

Five Below kicked off fiscal 2025 with a quarter that beat expectations on both the top and bottom lines, as the discount retailer posted adjusted diluted EPS of $0.86, ahead of the $0.83 consensus estimate by 3.34%, while net sales climbed 19.5% year over year to $970.53 million, edging past the $966.49 million Wall Street had anticipated. The primary engine behind the results was a 7.1% comparable sales increase driven entirely by transaction volume, reflecting CEO Winnie Park's strategy of pairing trend-right merchandise with extreme value and a sharper in-store experience, a focus she has described as a "maniacal" commitment to customers. The company also opened 55 new stores during the quarter, ending with 1,826 locations across 44 states. On the strength of the quarter, Five Below raised its full-year fiscal 2025 guidance, now targeting net sales of $4.33 billion to $4.42 billion and adjusted EPS of $4.25 to $4.72, even as management acknowledged ongoing uncertainty around tariffs and the broader global trade environment.
