AI Analysis

AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.

As a Buffett-Graham investor, I start with the business. Zumiez is a consumer-cyclical specialty retailer; its products are fashionable and competitive, so I see little durable moat. The numbers show a choppy turnaround. In fiscal 2025, ended 2026-01-31, revenue was $929.1M and net income was $13.4M, or diluted EPS $0.78, after a fiscal 2024 net loss of $1.7M and a fiscal 2023 net loss of $62.6M. FairStock calls it a TURNAROUND for that reason. But the latest filed quarters are discouraging: in fiscal Q1 2026, ended 2026-05-02, the net loss was $13.3M, diluted EPS -$0.82; in fiscal Q2 2026, ended 2026-08-01, the net loss was $2.7M, diluted EPS -$0.17. The quarter ended 2025-11-01, with $239.1M revenue and $9.2M net income, shows the model can earn money when sales are stronger. Valuation is mixed. At the 2026-10-13 close of $14.11, the FairStock P/B is 0.79 and its Graham Number is $16.17, implying a 12.74% margin of safety. Free cash flow is $25.1M trailing, an 11.6% FCF yield. But the FairStock P/E is 21.38 on EPS of $0.66, ROE is only 4.45%, ROCE 2.21%, and D/E 0.81. Altman Z-Score 1.11 and Piotroski 6/9 confirm a stressed but not hopeless balance sheet. FairStock Score 46/100 fits: cheap assets, weak earnings. I would require evidence that recent losses reverse and cash generation persists before calling this a sound value.

In plain English: Zumiez sells clothes, shoes, skateboards and snowboard gear to young people through stores and websites. The business looks weak right now because it lost money in the latest filed quarters, though it made a small profit in fiscal 2025 and produces positive free cash flow. At $14.11 on 2026-10-13, the shares look somewhat cheap versus the company's book value and a simple fair-value estimate, but earnings are thin and uneven.
