Destination XL Group (DXLG) reported its first-quarter 2025 earnings, revealing a notable miss on both earnings per share (EPS) and revenue compared to forecasts. The company posted an EPS of -$0.04 against an expected $0.055. Revenue came in at $105.5 million, falling short of the anticipated $116.58 million. Despite these results, Destination XL’s stock price showed resilience, increasing by 5.05% to $1.24 in pre-market trading [1].The company attributed the decline in revenue to a 9.4% decrease in comparable sales and a challenging economic environment impacting consumer spending on discretionary apparel. Despite these hurdles, the company remains debt-free and continues to invest in strategic initiatives, including new store openings and technology enhancements. The company plans to open six new stores by the end of 2025 [1].
