Shoe Carnival Reports Q1 Loss of $(0.21) EPS, Revenue Down 2.5% Amid Sales Decline
Summary
Shoe Carnival reported a Q1 net loss of $(0.21) per share on $270.7 million in revenue, a 2.5% decline year-over-year. This follows the 10-Q filing earlier today and confirms the negative trend indicated by the weak FY26 outlook in the March 10-K. The company also saw a 2.1% comparable-store sales drop and a 120 basis point contraction in gross margin due to increased promotions. The shift from profit to a net loss and declining sales indicate significant operational challenges, prompting a plan to close 12-14 underperforming stores in FY2026.
