Burlington Stores Inc. (NYSE:BURL) stock fell Thursday after the retailer reported fiscal second-quarter 2026 results. Strong earnings growth and improved margins were offset by a revenue miss and weak third-quarter guidance.
Total revenue rose about 11% year over year to $3.002 billion, missing the $3.020 billion estimate.
Adjusted earnings increased 38% to $2.37 per share, beating the $2.18 estimate. The figure excludes tariff refunds and certain costs tied to leases acquired through bankruptcy proceedings.
Earnings and Margins Strengthen
GAAP net income nearly doubled to $184 million from $94 million. Diluted earnings increased to $2.88 per share from $1.47.
