This week’s ecommerce earnings takeaways

Academy Sports and Outdoors Inc. (No. 142)

Q1 2026 net sales: Academy Sports and Outdoors Inc. reported that net sales increased by 6.7% year over year to $1.44 billion in its fiscal first quarter ended May 2. Meanwhile, ecommerce sales were up by 17.4% over the same period.

Academy Sports CEO Steven Lawrence credited the retailer’s recent omnichannel and AI accomplishments for fueling digital growth.

“First, we’re expanding our same-day delivery platforms to include Uber Eats and Instacart as a complement to our existing partnership with DoorDash. Our research shows there is minimal overlap between the customer bases for each of these services, so expanding our online presence to include these additional same-day delivery platforms should be mostly accretive and expose our brand and product categories to a broader audience,” Lawrence said during the company’s June 9 earnings call. “In addition, we plan to migrate the search platform from our site to be powered by Google’s AI Commerce search and Gemini Enterprise customer experience as we turn the corner into back-to-school.”

Lawrence flagged rising volumes of agentic commerce activity as a signal that the retailer can benefit from shoppers using AI agents.

“We believe customers are increasingly utilizing AI agents to aid them as they shop online,” he stated. “So moving our search to be powered by AI is a natural evolution and will be intuitive for them.”

Chewy Inc. (No. 10)

Q1 2026 net sales: Chewy Inc. said net sales were up by 7.7% year over year to $3.36 billion in its fiscal Q1 ended May 3. During the quarter, sales from its Autoship program increased by 10.5% from a year earlier, reaching $2.83 billion.

The Lovesac Company (No. 409)

Q1 2027 net sales: The Lovesac Company announced that its net sales declined by 0.1% year over year to $138.20 million in its fiscal first quarter ended May 3. Internet sales for the quarter increased 7.1% from a year ago, as showroom sales grew by a more modest 0.6% and other sales fell by 36.3%.

“The decrease [in other sales] was primarily attributable to the closure of the company’s Best Buy shop-in-shop locations as a result of the discontinuation of its partnership with Best Buy,” explained Keith Siegner, executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer at Lovesac, during the retailer’s earnings call. In addition, Lovesac saw a reduced presence in its pop-up locations at Costco.

Mary Fox, the president and chief operating officer at Lovesac, noted that the company “invested in AI-readable content, structured data and creator ecosystems to drive agentic engine optimization” during Q1.

Stitch Fix Inc. (No. 78)

Q3 2026 net revenue: Stitch Fix Inc. recorded net revenue growth of 4.7% year over year to $340.28 million in its fiscal second quarter ended May 2. Matt Baer, the CEO at Stitch Fix, touted “a significant milestone with sequential growth in active clients.”

Stitch Fix’s active clients increased 0.9% from the previous quarter to 2.3 million, though that total was down by 1.9% from a year ago. Still, Stitch Fix’s net revenue per active client was up 6.6% year over year to $578.

“These results demonstrate how we are strengthening our position as our client’s retailer of choice for apparel, footwear and accessories,” Baer said during Stitch Fix’s June 10 earnings call.

He noted that Stitch Fix’s men’s business “grew double digits year over year for the fourth straight quarter with standout performance in warm weather categories, such as shorts, short-sleeve woven tops and casual shoes, which each grew more than 30%.”

He also listed Stitch Fix’s own brand, Alesbury, alongside Travis Matthew, Vuori and Bonobos, as having seen the strongest growth on its platform.
