Key Financial Metrics
Actionable Insight
The strong Q1 beat and Q2 profitability guidance confirm the turnaround thesis. With 10 consecutive months of positive comps and accelerating margin expansion, the stock should re-rate higher. Watch for sustained comp momentum in Q2 and any tariff/consumer headwinds that could slow the trajectory.
