Editor&#8217;s Note: The EPS estimate for Q1 has been corrected
Genesco Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GCO#NYSE">GCO</a>), on Wednesday, reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b45766387/genesco-inc-reports-fiscal-2026-first-quarter-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">mixed first-quarter 2026 results</a> and reaffirmed fiscal 2026 EPS guidance.
The company reported an adjusted loss per share of $2.05, beating the street view of $2.09 loss. Quarterly sales of $473.973 million (increased 4% year over year) were above the analyst consensus estimate of $465.30 million.
Net sales were driven by a 5% increase at Journeys, 4% at Schuh, and 7% at Genesco Brands, partly offset by a 3% decline at Johnston &amp; Murphy.

Comparable sales rose 5%, with stores up 5% and e-commerce up 7%. On a constant currency basis, Schuh sales rose 1%.
The first quarter&#8217;s gross margin fell to 46.7% from 47.6% a year ago, mainly due to brand mix shifts at Journeys and Schuh, promotions at Schuh, and lower margins from product liquidations at Genesco Brands.
Genesco reported a GAAP operating loss of $28.1 million, or 5.9% of sales, down from $32.1 million, or 7%, a year ago. On an adjusted basis, the loss narrowed to $27.9 million from $30.0 million, with the operating margin improving to a loss of 5.9% of sales from a loss of 6.5% in the first quarter last year.
As of May 3, 2025, Genesco held $21.7 million in cash, up from $19.2 million a year earlier. Total debt rose to $121 million from $59.4 million, mainly due to a 15% inventory increase to support higher demand at Journeys.
Genesco repurchased 604,531 shares for $12.6 million, or $20.79 per share, during the quarter. Under its expanded buyback program, announced in June 2023, it has $29.8 million remaining.
In the first quarter, capital expenditures totaled $19 million, mainly for retail stores and other projects. The company opened four new stores and closed 26, ending the quarter with 1,256 stores. This represents a 5% decrease from 1,321 stores at the end of the first quarter last year. Overall square footage also decreased by 3% year-over-year.
Mimi E. Vaughn, Genesco&#8217;s Board Chair, president, and CEO, said, &#8220;While an already choppy consumer environment has become more pronounced recently from the increased uncertainty due to tariffs, our diversified sourcing and mitigation actions position us well to manage the current tariff impact. In addition, our strong strategic positioning and track record of evolving our businesses in the face of market disruptions are giving us confidence in successfully navigating the current environment.&#8221;
&#8220;Today, we are reiterating our full-year adjusted EPS guidance of $1.30 to $1.70, incorporating the impact of current tariffs. Although there is ongoing external market uncertainty, we know our businesses are strong, and we are making investments in product, stores, and marketing across all brands to drive growth,&#8221; commented Sandra Harris, Genesco&#8217;s Senior VP of Finance and CFO.
For fiscal 2026, Genesco reaffirmed its expectation of adjusted diluted EPS between $1.30 and $1.70 versus the consensus estimate of $1.47, factoring in current tariffs.
Total sales are now projected to rise 1%–2%, up from prior guidance of flat to 1%, due to favorable foreign exchange. Comparable sales range outlook narrowed to up 2% to 3% versus the prior range of up 2% to 4%, with no additional share buybacks assumed and a 29% tax rate.
Price Action: GCO shares are trading higher by 1.39% to $22.66 at last check Wednesday.

Top 3 Consumer Stocks That May Rocket Higher This Quarter

Shares of retail, apparel, and ecommerce stocks are trading lower amid recession worries due to uncertainty regarding tariffs and trade policy. Additionally, consumer spending is expected to be impacted, which is weighing on the industry.

U.S. stock futures declined on Monday after a small bout of relief on Friday as indices neared the correction zone. Futures of all four benchmark indices fell in premarket trading.
President Donald Trump, on Sunday, did not rule out the possibility of a recession this year. Acknowledging the potential of short-term turbulence from his economic agenda, he expressed confidence in future prosperity. In a Fox News interview, he said, &#8220;I hate to predict things like that&#8221; and called the changes being brought about by his administration as &#8220;very big.&#8221;
Meanwhile, China responded with retaliatory tariffs on U.S. agricultural goods including its largest import from the U.S. — Soybeans.
Investors will watch out for the inflation data slated to be released this week on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury yield stood at 4.24%, while the two-year yield was at 3.94%. According to the CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>, there is a 97% chance that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged for the March meeting.

Despite Friday&#8217;s rally, all major indices recorded weekly losses: the S&amp;P 500 fell 3.1%, its worst week since September, the Dow dropped 2.4%, and the Nasdaq tumbled 3.5%. Last week, Nasdaq 100 entered the correction territory on Friday, falling nearly 10% from its last high, which eased to 9.1% after Friday&#8217;s sessions, whereas the S&amp;P 500 was 6.1% lower from its last record.
Economic data revealed a mixed picture, with February&#8217;s jobs report showing a moderate increase of 151,000 jobs, below expectations, and a surprise rise in the unemployment rate to 4.1%.
In company news, Genesco Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GCO#NYSE">GCO</a>) shares plummeted over 16% on disappointing earnings, while American Public Education Inc.

Insights From Analysts
According to the Yardeni Research&#8217;s QuickTakes by Ed Yardeni and Eric Wallerstein, &#8220;Anything is possible in Trump World.&#8221;
&#8220;We can&#8217;t rule out the possibility that a bear market started on Feb. 20, the day after the S&amp;P 500 rose to a record high. It could be like the &#8216;flash crashes&#8217; that occurred during 1962 and 1987. It could happen quickly and reverse just as quickly. So the selloff could provide buying opportunities, especially in overvalued names that are now less so,&#8221; the note stated.
According to the note, Trump administration&#8217;s rapid-fire policy initiatives are stress-testing the economy, which has been remarkably resilient so far, and raising fears of a recession.
The current bull market, which began in October 2022, has entered its third year. According to Ryan Detrick, the chief market strategist at Carson Research, it is normal to see some fluctuations in the third year of a bull market.

While the conflict around tariffs has raised the speculation of a slowdown and recession, Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates had a contrarian view. According to him, &#8220;The anxiety over tariffs may be holding back some consumers, but I want to assure you that I do not expect most tariffs to be inflationary. As an example, the tariffs that have been imposed on China are expected to be suppressed by Chinese deflation as well as a weak Chinese yuan.&#8221;

"The stock market is moving in lockstep with tariff headlines, and that is likely to keep volatility very elevated for the foreseeable future, as the market does not like uncertainty," said Glen Smith, chief investment officer at GDS Wealth Management, per CNBC. 
"While we expect the market to find its footing and recover from the tariff-driven selloff, investors should brace for continued choppiness until these uncertainties clear," Smith added.

Fiscal fourth quarter gross margin was 46.9%, up 60 basis points compared with 46.3% last year. The increase was primarily due to lower markdowns at Journeys and improved margins at Genesco Brands and Johnston &amp; Murphy, partially offset by increased promotional activity at Schuh.
Adjusted operating margin was 6.4% of sales, compared with 5.2% in the year-ago period.
Mimi E. Vaughn, Genesco&#8217;s Board Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, &#8220;Our performance was led by Journeys as the strategic growth initiatives we&#8217;ve implemented over the past 12 months fueled strong full priced selling and mid-teens comp growth.&#8221;
&#8220;At the same time, sales trends at Schuh and Johnston &amp; Murphy further improved with fourth quarter comps for both businesses reaching the highest level of the year,&#8221; Vaughn added.
Cash as of February 1 was $34.0 million, compared with $35.2 million as of February 3, 2024. Total debt at the end of the fourth quarter was zero compared with $34.7 million at the end of last year&#8217;s fourth quarter.
Genesco said it achieved the higher-end of its target run-rate range of $45 to $50 million in total expense savings through the cost reduction program that began in fiscal 2024.
Inventories increased&nbsp;12%&nbsp;year over year, reflecting increased inventory for Journeys, Johnston &amp; Murphy, and Genesco Brands, partially offset by a decrease at Schuh.
Outlook: For Fiscal 2026, the company expects total sales to be flat to up 1% compared to fiscal 2025 including a foreign exchange negative impact of approximately $14 million and closed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance">store impact of approximately $30 million.</a>
Genesco sees FY26 adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations in the range of $1.30 &#8211; $1.70 versus $2.35 estimate.
Price Action: GCO shares are trading lower by 19.6% to $26.06 at last check Friday.
