Similarly, net income fell to $26.18 million, down 31.8% from $38.37 million in the same period in 2025.

Post-Earnings Price Action Review
Despite a challenging operating environment, Oxford Industries maintained disciplined execution across its portfolio. Lilly Pulitzer delivered strong performance in direct-to-consumer sales, driven by successful product innovations such as the Linen Seaspray jacket and the Lilly’s Vintage Vault collection.

Johnny Was remained a challenge, though the company has initiated merchandising and marketing enhancements.
