Zumiez Inc.

Zumiez faces persistent sales and margin pressure, especially in footwear, with Q2 revenue down 2.5% and ongoing softness in the US market. Despite weak results, ZUMZ maintains a strong balance sheet with $97 million in cash, no debt, and tangible equity of $16/share, trading below book value. Buybacks remain accretive; share count is down 6% YoY, and a new authorization is likely after completing a $40 million program in September.

Zumiez missed Wall Street's Q2 estimates on both revenue and earnings per share. International sales grew, but domestic foot traffic remained soft.

ZUMZ's second-quarter results miss expectations as U.S. demand weakens and footwear softness weigh on sales, margins and earnings, while third-quarter guidance signals further pressure.

U.S. stock futures were higher this morning, with the Dow futures gaining around 250 points on Friday.
