Genesco Inc.'s Q4 showed strong revenue growth, especially from Journeys, but overall profitability remains a challenge, justifying a Hold rating. Operating leverage is a key issue; despite some margin improvements, the company is unprofitable for half the year. FY26 guidance is muted with minimal margin expansion, making the current valuation unattractive at 16x forward earnings.
GCO's fiscal fourth-quarter results reflect higher y/y sales and earnings. The gross margin expands 60 basis points y/y to 46.9%.
