Build-A-Bear Workshop

Build-A-Bear reported second-quarter earnings of $0.70 per share but missed expected revenue, posting $115.3 million versus $121.27 million forecast. The company cut its full-year revenue outlook (to $500–525 million) and lowered its pre-tax earnings guidance, citing weaker customer traffic and the loss of a wholesale program. Gross margin fell 340 basis points to 54.2% due to increased promotions, while Halloween products got off to a strong start. After the announcement, the stock plunged about 18% in premarket trading and approached its 52-week low. » Más en de.investing.com

Build-A-Bear reported adjusted EPS of $1.03 for Q1 2026, beating the $0.76 expectation, while revenue of $125.3 million missed the $130.55 million estimate by 4.02%.

Management lowered its full-year revenue guidance to $530–550 million and announced investments in product lines, the in-store experience and digital capabilities. After the release, shares fell in premarket trading as investors assessed the revenue shortfall and digital challenges. » Más en de.investing.com
