Oxford Industries (OXM) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.11 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.11. This compares to earnings of $1.01 per share a year ago.
Shares of Oxford Industries sank after hours Wednesday after the maker of Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzer clothing cut its full-year forecast — citing the impact of hurricanes Milton and Helene on the company's most crucial market, the Southeast U.S.
Oxford Industries reported disappointing Q2 2024 results with negative comps and wholesale revenues, blaming macroeconomic factors, political events, and inadequate opening price points. Gross margins fell 100bps due to increased sales during discount periods, while SG&A expenses deleveraged due to store expansions and a new distribution center. The company reduced its annual guidance, expecting a decline in comparable sales and lower EPS, maintaining a Hold rating due to cyclical challenges and limited organic growth.
Based on weak revisions, I am downgrading my rating on Oxford Industries stock to a Hold despite possible near-term alpha due to its potential undervaluation. Oxford faces ongoing contraction in H2, but 2025 will be much stronger based on the consensus estimates. However, growth beyond this looks only moderate. If management strategically refocuses on higher-value fashion products, it could face significant inhibition from established luxury powerhouses.
Shares of Oxford Industries (OXM) sank to their lowest level in more than two years after the clothing retailer posted worse-than-expected results and slashed its guidance as it faced what Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Tom Chubb called a "challenging consumer environment."
U.S. stock futures were higher this morning, with the Dow futures gaining around 0.2% on Thursday.

People are “looking for deals and promotions” and have flocked to Oxford Industries Inc.'s outlets and to sales at the regular stores, the parent company of Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzer brands says.
Oxford Industries 1Q24 results show a 5% revenue decline and lower operating margins due to cost deleveraging. Concerns arise from challenging comparable sales, lackluster performance in certain brands, and lack of improvement in gross margins. Valuation of Oxford stock at a P/E of 11x to 12x seems fair considering negative economic and fashion cycles, but not opportunistic.
Oxford Industries has seen a decline in net sales in the most recent earnings quarter. However, reduction in long-term debt has been encouraging. I continue to take a bullish view on Oxford Industries stock.
