description: "Buckle reported Q2 FY26 net income of $44.41 million, a 1.3% decline, with diluted EPS at $0.87. Net sales rose 4.6% to $319.82 million, driven by a 2.1% increase in comparable store sales. Gross profit margin expanded to 47.8%, aided by tariff refunds and higher merchandise margins, though partially offset by increased occupancy costs. SG&A expenses rose to 30.4% of net sales due to higher marketing and labor costs. The company opened 8 stores and closed 2 year-to-date, totaling 446 locations, while online sales grew 2.3%."
