Q&A affirms sales momentum, inventory prep
Q&A reinforced management's bullish 2026 sales outlook, detailing how tariff-induced category remixing from home to apparel drove 2025 earnings at sales' expense, with home opportunities now viable as supply adjusts. Executives highlighted deliberate 12% comp store inventory build for Q1 tax refund upside and resilient trends—mid-single-digit Nov-Jan comps despite a late-January storm, extending into strong February start. Customer sales proved broad-based across incomes and demographics. New store/relocation/downsizing programs exceed returns hurdles; localization ramps as a multi-year unlock. Q1 margin pressure proved temporary from DC startup and lapped savings. Management stayed crisp. Investors will eye sales chasing and margin leverage.
