Zumiez Reports Weak Q2 Results and Lowers Outlook
On September 10, Zumiez Inc. (NASDAQ: ZUMZ) reported weaker-than-expected results for its second quarter ended August 1, 2026. Net sales declined by 2.5% year-over-year to $209 million, with comparable store sales down 2.1%, primarily due to weak performance in the U.S. International markets showed positive growth but could not offset domestic underperformance. The company posted a net loss of $2.7 million or $0.17 per share for Q2 compared to a smaller loss in the prior year period. Zumiez also issued disappointing third-quarter guidance, with expected sales between $222 million and $226 million and earnings per share ranging from breakeven to $0.10. The company revised its full-year outlook downward, anticipating low single-digit sales declines and a slight contraction in operating margin. Despite the poor results, Zumiez maintains strong financial health with no debt, $97.3 million in cash, and an unused credit facility of $25 million. Share repurchases continued during Q2 as part of its capital return strategy.
