TL;DR. Burlington beat Q4 guidance with 11% total sales growth, 4% comp growth and $4.99 adjusted EPS, and raised its 2026 comp guidance to 1% to 3%. Q1 2026 adjusted EBIT margin is guided down 60 to 100 basis points, and full-year 2026 margin expansion is guided to only flat to 20 basis points.

Bullish

  • + Q4 adjusted EPS of $4.99 (up 21%) beat the $4.50 to $4.70 guidance
  • + Q4 adjusted EBIT margin expanded 100 basis points, 50 basis points above the high end of guidance
  • + FY25 adjusted EPS grew 22% on 80 basis points of adjusted EBIT margin expansion despite tariffs
  • + Raised 2026 comp guidance to 1% to 3%, with management saying there may be upside
  • + 2026 guidance calls for 8% to 10% total sales growth and adjusted EPS of $10.95 to $11.45, up 8% to 13%
Bearish
  • − Q1 2026 adjusted EBIT margin guided down 60 to 100 basis points
  • − Full-year 2026 adjusted EBIT margin guided to only flat to up 20 basis points, below 2025's 80 basis point expansion
  • − Tariff-driven assortment gaps in home and holiday categories held back sales
  • − Q1 pressured by Savannah DC startup costs and lapping one-time savings
