Haverty reported Q4 net sales of $201.9 million, up 9.5% with comparable-store sales up 8.2%, and Q4 EPS of $0.51 versus $0.49 a year ago. Gross margin fell to 60.4% partly due to $3.9 million of LIFO charges, while full-year sales were $759.0 million and EPS was $1.19, flat year over year. Inventories ended at $96.2 million as the company worked ahead of tariff changes; management noted recent tariff rulings and expects a temporary 10% Section 122 tariff to replace prior measures. For 2026 Haverty expects gross margins of 60.5%–61%, SG&A of $307–309 million, CapEx of $33.5 million, plans five new stores (including entry into Pennsylvania) and confirmed a debt-free balance sheet and an expanded $15 million share buyback authorization. » More on finance.yahoo.com
