▲(8.40% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:06/17/26
The score reflects improved fundamentals and cash flow versus last year and constructive operational momentum from the latest update, partially offset by a clearly bearish technical trend and cautious near-term guidance. Valuation is neutral without dividend support, keeping the overall profile mid-range.
Positive Factors
Strong Cash Generation
Free cash flow exceeding net income and positive operating cash flow indicate earnings are backed by cash. This durability supports reinvestment, share repurchases, and liquidity buffers, reducing refinancing risk and enabling strategic flexibility over the next several quarters.
Negative Factors
Top‑Line Still Below Peak
Net sales remain materially under the 2022 peak despite recent recovery, suggesting persistent demand or market share challenges. A sub‑peak revenue base limits scale economies and constrains the company's ability to convert margin gains into stronger absolute profits.

Zumiez Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Jun 04, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Sep 10, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Neutral
The call conveyed a balanced message: clear operational improvements (sales comps, margin expansion, record private label penetration, stronger cash position and reduced operating loss) countered by persistent net losses, category weakness (footwear), soft May trends in North America and cautious near-term guidance including a potentially negative Q2 operating income. Management emphasized disciplined execution and flexibility but withheld specific full-year EPS guidance given consumer headwinds.Positive Updates
Comparable Sales Momentum
Consolidated comparable sales increased 4.0% in Q1, marking the company's eighth consecutive quarter of positive comparable sales; North America comps up 4.4% (ninth consecutive positive quarter) and other international comps up 2.2%.
Negative Updates
Continued Net Loss and EPS Headwind
Net loss of $13.3 million in Q1 (EPS loss $0.82) compared with a $14.3 million loss (EPS loss $0.79) a year ago; share repurchases reduce share count which can make EPS swings larger in loss quarters.

Company Guidance
Zumiez guided Q2 (13 weeks ending Aug 1, 2026) to net sales of $210–$215 million (growth of -2% to +0.5% year-over-year) with comparable sales expected to be consistent with that range, product margin “down slightly to up slightly” versus last year, consolidated operating income of -1.5% to 0.0% of sales and diluted EPS between a loss of $0.23 and $0.08 (prior‑year Q2 loss $0.06). For fiscal 2026 management stopped short of precise full‑year EPS guidance but expects full‑year sales growth despite a roughly $12 million closed‑store headwind, product‑margin expansion (helped by private label at >30% of sales), operating‑margin improvement of about 50–100 basis points, a full‑year effective tax rate of roughly 40–45% (vs 44.4% in FY25), capital expenditures of $14–$16 million (vs $11M prior year), depreciation & amortization ~ $19.1M (down from $21.3M), plans to open 5 U.S. stores and close ~26 stores (20 North America, 6 international), projects ~16.9 million diluted shares outstanding (ex any future repurchases), and remains in a strong liquidity position with $124.2M cash & marketable securities, no debt, a $25M unused credit facility and a $40M repurchase program authorized.Zumiez Financial Statement Overview
