Q2 2026 saw net sales rise 5% year-over-year, with new stores performing well and private label products accounting for 26% of total sales. Challenges include negative comparable-store sales, softer customer traffic, and modest margin pressure. The company opened a new 180,000-square-foot corporate headquarters. An analyst reaffirmed a 'Buy' rating and a $107 price target in September 2026, citing long-term growth prospects, and the stock's decline is considered more severe than its underlying fundamentals justify.
