Caleres Continues To Prove Why The Shoe Is On The Right Foot
Caleres, Inc. delivered a strong Q2, with adjusted EPS beating forecasts despite revenue missing estimates by $7 million. CAL's profitability surged, aided by one-time tariff refunds, but adjusted EPS rose to $0.47, exceeding consensus by $0.10. Famous Footwear faces declining comps and store count, yet overall store growth and a recent acquisition offset these headwinds.
Caleres Q2 Earnings Call Highlights
Caleres NYSE: CAL reported second-quarter adjusted earnings above its expectations, as growth in its brand portfolio and margin expansion offset weaker sales at Famous Footwear. President and CEO Jay Schmidt described 2026 as a “build back year” focused on restoring earnings power, integrating Stuart Weitzman and establishing a foundation for longer-term profitable growth.
