Shares of retail and apparel stocks are trading lower as investors weigh the potential impacts of tariffs on the sector. Economic uncertainty could also cloud consumer spending outlook.

SHOO

Shares of consumer discretionary stocks are trading lower amid continued market volatility on tariff concerns, which have driven economic uncertainty. Tariffs could disrupt supply chains and raise prices, while an economic slowdown could weaken consumer demand.

Telsey Advisory Group analyst Dana Telsey reiterated the Market Perform rating on Guess?, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GES#NYSE">GES</a>), <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GES/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with an unchanged price forecast of $13</a>.
Yesterday, the company reported fourth-quarter results, with adjusted earnings per share of $1.48,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44647691/guess-plans-restructuring-strategy-to-fuel-profits-hands-china-operations-to-local-partner" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the street view of $1.38.</a>
Telsey noted that after three uneven quarters and downward adjustments to its annual outlook, Guess? met its revenue expectations in the fourth quarter.
Despite that, lower gross margins and modest expense management led to an operating margin miss, though earnings per share landed within the guidance range thanks to a lower tax rate, the analyst adds.

The company&#8217;s CEO,&nbsp;Carlos Alberini, said Guess? is sharpening its focus on boosting global direct-to-consumer sales productivity and enhancing profitability by streamlining its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44635906/guess-inc-reports-fiscal-year-2025-fourth-quarter-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">business operations and portfolio.</a>
As part of this strategy, the company plans to transition its long-standing direct operations in Greater China to a local partner with strong market experience, noting that discussions with several potential candidates are already underway and the transition is expected to be finalized before the fiscal year ends.
While these steps are promising, Telsey warned that near-term challenges persist, including weaker customer traffic in North America and Asia.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the company projects adjusted diluted loss in the range of 65 cents to 74 cents per share (estimate: 23 cents loss per share).
Looking ahead, Telsey viewed the company&#8217;s sales guidance as solid, with first-quarter estimates aligning with forecasts and the full-year revenue outlook surpassing expectations.
Meanwhile, guidance for operating margins and EPS fell short for both the quarter and the year, reflecting a tough global macroeconomic backdrop, the analyst writes.
The analyst notes that the guidance does not include the incremental tariffs announced this week.
Per Telsey, the tariffs could add further margin pressure—though about 75% of Guess?&#8217;s revenue comes from outside the U.S.
Price Action: GES shares are trading higher by 11.5% to $11.20 at last check Friday.

Can Guess? Overcome Footfall Challenge Despite Restructuring?

Guess?, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GES#NYSE">GES</a>) shares are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">trading lower on Friday.</a>
Yesterday, the company reported fourth-quarter results, with adjusted earnings per share of $1.48,<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44635906/guess-inc-reports-fiscal-year-2025-fourth-quarter-results" rel="noreferrer noopener"> beating the street view of $1.38</a>. Quarterly sales of $932.25 million (up 5% year over year and 9% in constant currency) outpaced the analyst consensus estimate of $907.75 million.
Adjusted operating margin decreased 3.2% to 11.4%, from 14.6% for the same prior-year quarter, driven primarily by higher expenses, higher advertising expenses and store costs, and the impact of newly acquired businesses, partially offset by lower performance-based compensation.
Restructuring Plans: The company&#8217;s CEO, Carlos Alberini, said Guess? is sharpening its focus on boosting global direct-to-consumer sales productivity and enhancing profitability by streamlining its business operations and portfolio.

As part of this strategy, the company plans to transition its long-standing direct operations in Greater China to a local partner with strong market experience, noting that discussions with several potential candidates are already underway and the transition is expected to be finalized before the fiscal year ends.
In North America, the company sees room to optimize its Guess full-price store network by closing underperforming and non-strategic locations, while also cutting costs through infrastructure consolidation.
These strategic shifts, factored into the company's fiscal 2026 outlook, are expected to deliver approximately $30 million in operating profit improvements by fiscal 2027.
Guess? also announced that Alberto Toni has been appointed as its Chief Financial Officer, effective following the filing of the company&#8217;s next Quarterly Report, which is expected<a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/44635990"> to be filed by mid-June.</a>
Toni, who will be based in Lugano, Switzerland, will succeed Interim Chief Financial Officer Dennis Secor.
Outlook: For the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the company projects adjusted diluted loss in the range of 65 cents to 74 cents per share (estimate: 23 cents loss per share).
For FY26, the company projects adjusted EPS of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance">$1.32 to $1.76 (estimate: $2.02).</a>
Alberini concluded, &#8220;As we enter fiscal year 2026, we are excited about our growth opportunities for our core Guess business, our recently launched Guess Jeans brand and our just acquired rag &amp; bone business.&#8221;
Price Action: GES shares are trading lower by 4.95% to $9.544 at last check Friday.
