Urban Outfitters reported fiscal second-quarter 2027 results after the close on August 26, with net sales rising 10% to a record $1.6619 billion, topping the $1.635 billion analyst estimate. The company posted GAAP earnings per share of $2.78, net income of $240.7 million, operating income of $288.7 million, and gross profit of $721.6 million. Adjusted EPS came in at $1.72, missing consensus by $0.01, which Investing.com attributed to the stock's roughly 4% after-hours decline despite the revenue beat.
CEO and Chairman Dick Hayne called it the company's eighth consecutive quarter of record sales and profits. Free People continued to be a standout brand, and the Nuuly subscription rental segment surged 29%. The stock had already gained about 4.9% during the regular session on Wednesday, buoyed partly by strong results from sector peer Abercrombie and Fitch, before the post-market retreat on the slim earnings shortfall.
