What the Analysts think about Carter's
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Carter's stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Carter's stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Carter’s delivered 5.2% sales growth in the second quarter, while U.S. Retail comparable sales rose 5.1% for a fifth consecutive quarter. Adjusted operating income increased 54%, suggesting that demand is improving beyond a one-off accounting benefit. (Last10K, The Motley Fool)
Productivity measures are beginning to show through: adjusted SG&A fell 1% and delivered nearly 300 basis points of leverage in the second quarter. Store rationalisation and supply-chain savings could support profits even if sales growth remains modest. (The Motley Fool, Business Wire)
Carter’s ended the first half with $653.6 million of cash, no revolver borrowings and improved operating cash-flow guidance of $230 million to $240 million. The $132 million duty recovery strengthens liquidity and gives the company more room to fund technology, dividends and other shareholder returns. (StockTitan, Business Wire)
Management cut full-year sales-growth guidance to 2%–3% because wholesale customers are taking a more cautious view of second-half inventories and consumers are resisting higher prices. Third-quarter wholesale sales are expected to fall by a high-single-digit percentage. (The Motley Fool, Markets Daily)
Tariffs remain a direct threat to margins because Carter’s sources most of its products in Asia. The company expects a lower 2026 gross-margin rate and adjusted EPS to decline by a high-single-digit to low-double-digit percentage, even after pricing and productivity actions. (Business Wire, The Motley Fool)
Carter’s is executing a sizeable restructuring while transitioning to a new chief executive. It plans to close about 60 North American stores in 2026 as part of a roughly 150-store reduction programme, creating execution risk and potentially reducing sales before savings fully arrive.
