What the Analysts think about BBW

Analyst projections of the future price of Build-A-Bear Workshop stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Build-A-Bear still targets at least 50 net new locations in fiscal 2026 and had 674 locations at the end of the second quarter. Most planned openings are partner-operated or franchised, offering a way to extend its reach without relying only on company-run stores. (Build-A-Bear Workshop)
Commercial and international franchise revenues grew 11.6% in the first half of fiscal 2026, helped by sales to new wholesale customers. That growth offers some diversification from the weaker direct-to-consumer business, although the combined category declined in the second quarter. (Build-Aear Workshop)
New destination formats and partnerships could introduce the brand to more visitors and collectors. The planned Orlando flagship features Pokémon, Hello Kitty and Promise Pets experiences, while a London partnership places a Build-A-Bear experience inside Hard Rock Cafe Piccadilly Circus. (Build-Aear Workshop, PR Newswire)
Underlying customer demand weakened in the second quarter: revenue fell 7.2%, retail sales fell 7.1% and online demand fell 15.6%. Lower traffic and a weak summer product range also drove heavier promotions and a 340-basis-point decline in gross margin. (Build-A-Bear Workshop, The Wall Street Journal)
The company cut its annual revenue and pre-tax income forecasts for a second time and said it could not renew its multimillion-dollar Walmart partnership. Other wholesale opportunities are taking longer to develop, leaving commercial revenue forecast to be roughly flat for the year. (Reuters, Build-A-Bear Workshop)
Profitability faces continued cost pressure: Build-A-Bear expects $10 million to $11 million of tariff and related costs for fiscal 2026, while second-quarter pre-tax income fell to $11.6 million from $15.3 million. The revised annual pre-tax outlook also includes a tariff refund, so reported profit overstates the expected underlying result. (Build-A-Bear Workshop)
