Guess Posts 6% Revenue Gain in Q2
Guess? (NYSE:GES), best known for its iconic denim and global fashion lifestyle collections, reported second quarter results for fiscal 2026 on August 27, 2025. The company delivered GAAP revenue ahead of expectations, as strong European results and improvement in Americas Retail offset softness elsewhere in Q2 FY2026. Total revenue rose to $772.9 million, a 6% increase compared to the same quarter last year, exceeding the company’s prior guidance range of 2.9% to 4.7% growth.
However, underlying profitability fell short, with adjusted earnings per share of $0.26, down from $0.42 the prior year, and adjusted operating margin compressed to 3.7%. Management suspended forward guidance for FY2026 and canceled the usual earnings call due to the pending take-private deal, leaving limited visibility for investors. The quarter showcased strong top-line growth but highlighted ongoing margin and expense headwinds, signaling a mixed performance.
