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
First-quarter sales grew 8.1%, with growth in U.S. retail, wholesale and international; U.S. retail comparable sales rose 10.5%. That breadth suggests the recovery was not limited to one channel. (Business Wire)
Second-quarter adjusted operating income rose 54% and adjusted EPS rose 53%. Carter’s credited better marketing and early productivity gains, pointing to improving operating execution. (Carter's)
E-commerce comparable sales grew by double digits for a fourth straight quarter, supported by stronger traffic and marketing that brought younger families to its digital platforms. Continued online growth could provide a useful sales channel beyond stores. (The Motley Fool)
Tariffs remain a material margin risk: second-quarter adjusted gross margin fell 180 basis points, with $28 million of incremental tariff costs. Further tariff changes could keep costs unpredictable. (The Motley Fool)
Management cut its 2026 sales-growth outlook to 2–3%, citing more cautious wholesale orders and consumer resistance to higher prices. This raises the risk that recent retail strength will not translate into sustained growth across the business. (The Motley Fool)
Carter’s expects adjusted EPS to decline by a high-single-digit to low-double-digit percentage in 2026, despite forecasting adjusted operating-income growth. The earnings outlook therefore remains weak even before any further deterioration in demand. (Carter's)
