Weyco Group (WEYS) remains rated Hold as valuation is unattractive given business quality and secular headwinds. Recent 2Q26 results were inflated by tariff refunds; normalized operating income was less than half 2Q25's level. WEYS trades at nearly 17x EV/NOPAT, despite exposure to discretionary spending and a declining men's formal footwear market.
WEYS' Q2 earnings per share are aided by tariff refunds, while sales rise 7% as Florsheim and BOGS gain momentum. Management expects a strong second half.
Weyco Group NASDAQ: WEYS reported higher second-quarter sales and sharply increased earnings, with results substantially supported by tariff refunds following the invalidation of certain import duties by the U.S. Supreme Court.
