On September 9, 2026, Lakeland Industries reported an earnings per share of -$0.22 for its second quarter. This loss was wider than the analyst consensus estimate of -$0.05, as highlighted by Zacks. The result also marks a significant drop from the same quarter last year, when the company reported earnings of $0.36 per share.

The company's revenue for the quarter was $50.10 million, which fell short of the estimated $51.36 million. While this represents a 4.5% decrease from the prior year, it is a 5.7% increase from the previous quarter. The company notes that excluding sales from recently divested product lines, revenue actually grew by 2.8%.

Despite the revenue miss, Lakeland Industries saw its gross margin, which is the profit made on sales before administrative costs, increase to 37.0%. However, the company recorded a net loss of $4.90 million. This loss includes a significant $3.20 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge, which is an accounting adjustment for a decrease in the value of an acquired company.

From a valuation standpoint, Lakeland Industries has a negative Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio of -4.01, indicating it has not been profitable over the last year. However, its Current Ratio of 2.98 is strong. This ratio suggests the company has nearly three times the assets to cover its short-term debts, showing good financial stability.
