Adjusted earnings were $0.17 per share, below the $0.18 estimate by 5.56%. They were also down from $0.18 per share a year earlier, as highlighted by Zacks Investment Research. Earnings per share show how much profit a company reports for each share of stock.
Revenue was about $146.00 million, above the $143.50 million estimate. The more precise figure was $145.99 million, up from $138.47 million a year earlier. As highlighted by Zacks Investment Research, Superior Group of Companies beat revenue estimates in each of the past four quarters, though it beat earnings estimates in only three.
CEO Michael Benstock said earnings per share were essentially flat year over year despite charges linked to a shift in Healthcare Apparel. He said new leadership is narrowing that segment’s product focus to improve profit margins and reduce working capital needs—the cash tied up in day-to-day operations. Benstock expects both sales and earnings to grow in 2026 compared with 2025.
