Carter's Q1 U.S. Retail Comparable Sales Surge 10.5%
CRI sits 43% above its 52-week low of $23.381.
Summary
Carter's announced a robust 10.5% increase in its first-quarter U.S. retail comparable sales. This significant positive performance follows a challenging fiscal 2025, which included a steep decline in net income and a substantial dividend cut, and comes shortly after the appointment of a new CEO. The strong comparable sales growth suggests an encouraging start to the company's turnaround efforts and could indicate better-than-anticipated revenue for the quarter, potentially offsetting recent low analyst earnings projections. Traders will be watching the full Q1 earnings release closely to see if this sales momentum translates into improved profitability and to gain further insight into the company's financial trajectory under new leadership.
