Five Below Posts 24% Sales Jump in Q2

Five Below (NASDAQ:FIVE), the fast-growing discount retailer known for targeting tweens and teens with trendy, low-priced merchandise, reported second quarter fiscal 2025 results on August 27, 2025. The headline news was a substantial beat on both sales (GAAP) and earnings (non-GAAP). Revenue rose to $1,026.8 million, far ahead of the company’s forecast, and non-GAAP earnings per share landed at $0.81, also well above expectations. Comparable sales jumped 12.4%, a sharp acceleration from the prior year period. The company raised its full-year guidance as a result. Analysts and investors had expected a solid quarter, but the results exceeded even the upper end of management’s own outlook. Despite the strong demand, challenges remain with profit margins, as inflation and tariffs continue to pressure costs. Overall, the quarter showed strong demand, continued growth in the company’s store base, and persistent, though manageable, cost headwinds. Source: Analyst estimates provided by FactSet.
