Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Solid CC growth, higher gross and EBITDA margins, robust DTC growth, and upside from a premium-product pipeline plus store openings typically drive near-term stock appreciation. The company also provides a credible 2026 guide and a pronounced shift toward higher-value DTC channels, which historically supports multiple expansion in premium-brand retailers.
