Q1 results were directionally positive (sales growth, comps up, narrower operating loss) but EPS was a penny worse than consensus and May comps turned negative. The Q2 guidance implies a significant improvement from Q1 levels but still negative EPS. Watch for August FQ2 actuals to confirm the back-to-school trajectory; the weak May read heightens seasonal risk.

Executive Summary
Zumiez reported fiscal Q1 2026 results: net sales of $193.3M (+4.9% YoY) and a net loss of $13.3M ($0.82 per share), slightly wider loss per share vs $0.79 a year ago due to share buybacks. Comparable sales rose 4.0%, with Q2 guidance for net sales of $210-215M and an EPS loss of $0.08-$0.23, suggesting a sequential improvement. While the headline loss narrowed year-over-year, EPS dipped on a per-share basis and May comparable sales turned flat, signaling near-term consumer softness.
