Urban Outfitters

At the Goldman Sachs conference, Urban Outfitters said revenue rose 10% to $1.7 billion in the second quarter and that it delivered the most operationally profitable quarter in the company’s history. All brands posted positive like‑for‑like growth, led by Free People and Urban Outfitters, while Nuuly surpassed 500,000 subscribers and grew strongly. Management expects gross margin improvement in the second half of the year thanks to tariff benefits and store leverage, but warned of a headwind from fuel surcharges of about 70 basis points per quarter. Investments in technology, personalization and brand expansion are intended to support growth through 2027 and further lift margins. » More on de.investing.com

Management highlighted robust demand at regular prices, six quarters of double‑digit revenue growth and margin expansion since 2022, but noted risks from higher transportation and energy costs. Growth drivers are Anthropologie, Free People/FP Movement, Nuuly as a profitable subscription business, and a recovery at Urban Outfitters; technology and AI are expected to improve personalization and margins over the long term. » More on de.investing.com
