Academy Sports and Outdoors, Inc. (No. 156)
Q1 2025: Academy Sports and Outdoors, Inc. said its net sales declined 0.9% year over year to $1.4 billion in its fiscal first quarter ended May 3. Steve Lawrence, chief executive officer at Academy, cited “a choppy macro-economic backdrop.” Still, he remained optimistic that the company “has performed extensive work to mitigate tariff pressures at the current levels, and we will remain nimble as the situation evolves.”
“Moving forward, we are balancing our optimism about our strategic initiatives against the uncertain environment that our customers will face in the back half of the year,” Lawrence explained. “As a result of this, we are widening our annual comp sales guidance range to -4% to +1% to account for a potential downside that may be created by inflationary pressures the remainder of the year.”
During Academy’s earnings call, Lawrence cited ecommerce growth as a major priority for the retail chain.
“We also made progress here during the quarter with academy.com posting a 10% sales increase and growing in penetration by roughly 100 basis points to over 10%,” he shared.
In addition, Lawrence detailed some results that the company has seen. He noted that improvements have translated into help for “both conversion rate and average order value during the quarter.”
“A lot of the work completed in Q1 was around streamlining and improving the internal search functionality of our site,” he stated. “At the same time, we’ve also been pushing hard to grow our endless aisle offering with an expanded assortment online supported for drop ship.”
Chewy, Inc. (No. 9)
Q3 2025: Chewy, Inc. reported a net sales increase of 8.3% year over year to $3.1 billion in its fiscal third quarter ended May 4. The gains came as Chewy’s Autoship sales and customer base both grew from a year prior.
“First quarter Autoship customer sales of $2.56 billion represented approximately 82% of Q1 net sales, reaching a record high for the company,” said Sumit Singh, CEO at Chewy, during its earnings call. “Growth in Autoship customer sales once again outpaced overall top-line growth, increasing by nearly 15% in the first quarter.”
The pet supplies and subscription-based sales retailer also noted improvements for its customer numbers.
“Moving on to the topic of active customers, the momentum we spoke about last quarter continued through Q1, and we ended the quarter with 20.8 million active customers, reflecting 3.8% year-over-year growth and an increase of approximately 240,000 customers sequentially,” Singh stated. “Active customer growth was driven by continued strength in gross additions along with improvement in gross churn.”
As for inflation and tariffs, David Reeder, the chief financial officer at Chewy, addressed questions on the earnings call. He said during the call that Chewy sees “very little inflation in the industry right now.” Looking ahead, it anticipates a “minimal expected impact from tariffs.”
GameStop Corp. (No. 55)
Q1 2025: GameStop Corp. recorded a net sales decline of 16.9% year over year to $732.4 million in its fiscal first quarter ended May 3. The negative growth came as the games and collectibles retailer continued to buy bitcoin during the quarter. Meanwhile, it also divested in its Canada operations.
Entrepreneur Stephan Tetrault acquired GameStop Canada in May and plans to relaunch operations under the brand EB Games Canada.
RH, Inc. (No. 93)
Q3 2025: RH, Inc. recorded a net revenue increase of 12.0% year over year to $814.0 million in its fiscal third quarter ended May 3. Gary Friedman, the chairman and CEO at RH, formerly Restoration Hardware, told shareholders in his quarterly letter that the home furnishings retailer’s success came despite challenges it sees in the macro environment.
“Our industry leading growth continued into fiscal 2025 as revenue increased 12% in the first quarter despite the polarizing impact of tariff uncertainty and the worst housing market in almost 50 years,” Friedman wrote. “Both adjusted operating margin of 7.0% and adjusted EBITDA margin of 13.1% were at the high end of our expectations, and we achieved positive free cash flow of $34 million in the quarter.”
Stitch Fix, Inc. (No. 76)
Q3 2025: Stitch Fix, Inc. reported a net revenue increase of 0.7% year over year to $325.0 million in its fiscal third quarter ended May 3.

That improvement came despite a 10.6% decrease in active clients over the same period to 280,000.
“Our performance, which exceeded expectations, is the direct result of the strength of the Stitch Fix value proposition and the team’s disciplined execution of our strategy,” said Matt Baer, CEO at Stitch Fix. “Now in the growth phase of our transformation, we are focused on cementing our role as the retailer of choice for apparel and accessories by consistently delivering the most client-centric and personalized shopping experience.”

Victoria’s Secret noted that the change accommodates an anticipated net tariff impact of $50 million for its fiscal year 2025. In the meantime, it maintained its guidance for full-year net sales to range from $6.2 billion to $6.3 billion.
Hillary Super, director and CEO at Victoria’s Secret, applauded the company’s digital efforts. She said she expects to see more of its products being sold online at full price.
