Steven Madden (SHOO) Q2 EPS Drops 65%
Steven Madden (NASDAQ:SHOO), a New York-based footwear, accessories, and apparel company, released its second quarter 2025 earnings on July 30, 2025. The headline news from the quarter was the impact of new tariffs on U.S. imports and the integration of the Kurt Geiger acquisition. Adjusted earnings per share were $0.20, while GAAP revenue rose 6.8% to $559.0 million compared to Q2 2024, below analyst projections of $578.94 million (GAAP). While the reported top-line benefited from the Kurt Geiger acquisition, the underlying business showed contraction. Management withdrew guidance for fiscal 2025, citing heightened macroeconomic uncertainty and tariff-related disruption. Overall, the period reflected operational headwinds, margin compression, and limited earnings visibility.
