Carter's, Inc. (CRI) Q4 2025 Earnings Call Transcript
CRI tops Q4 estimates with 7.6% sales growth, but stock sinks over 15% on soft Q1 and 2026 earnings outlook.
Carter's, Inc. reported Q4 results with solid top-line growth but significant margin deterioration due to tariffs and higher costs. FY26 guidance projects modest revenue growth driven by pricing, but persistent gross margin pressure and higher interest expense will weigh on net income. CRI trades at 10x forward earnings, yet secular headwinds like declining fertility and inability to offset tariffs undermine the investment case.
Carter's (CRI) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.9 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.7 per share. This compares to earnings of $2.39 per share a year ago.
