The Swiss sportswear brand sees plenty of whitespace for growth while maintaining extremely selective wholesale distribution, management told analysts in a roundtable discussion at the ICR conference.

Genesco’s blended comps were up 9% for the Holiday period, according to a preliminary sales update released ahead of the company’s appearance at the 2026 ICR Conference, as stores comped up 10% for Q4 through Dec. 27 and e-commerce comped up 9%.

The path back to pre-tariff gross margin levels will come from leveraging owned manufacturing facilities, RCKY said at the ICR conference, which ramped over 2025 to exceed historical levels of 25% to 30% of units produced at its China and nearshore facilities.

LULU said that a strong performance over the Holiday season will result in both revenue and net income coming in toward the high end of its previous guidance.

Ahead of analyst meetings at the ICR conference, BIRK revealed that revenues were €402 million ($470 mm) in the fiscal first quarter ended Dec. 31, up 11% on a reported basis and 18% constant-currency.

ZUMZ now expects Q4 sales to come in between $287 and $290 million, down from $291 million to $296 million earlier guidance, but with net income between $1.05 and $1.10 per share instead of $0.97 to $1.07.

Rebel Sport’s same-store sales grew 4% for the first half ending Dec. 27, while SRG’s outdoor banners BCF and Macpac were mixed, comping down 2% and up 8%, respectively.

Yue Yuen’s footwear manufacturing revenue declined 6% in Dec. to an implied $451,264,000 from $477,956,000 last year, while total revenues at the Chinese footwear maker and retailer ticked down 6% to $644,490,000 for the month and inched down 2% for the year to $8,031,356,000.
