Brand Portfolio rebounded on easy comps and the Stuart Weitzman acquisition, but Famous Footwear remains challenged with declining sales and margins.

CAL's Stuart Weitzman acquisition drove revenue growth, but profitability remains pressured, with adjusted net loss partly attributable to the new brand. Management guides for low to mid single-digit sales growth and adjusted EPS of $1.35–$1.65, implying potential for significant profit rebound in 2026.
