Tariffs Weigh on Build-A-Bear's Financial Performance, Despite Record Revenue Growth

Build-A-Bear Workshop's financial performance was overshadowed by the growing weight of tariffs in the ongoing trade war. The company had previously avoided tariff impacts, but they caught up in the latest quarter and will continue to affect performance into 2026. Shares tumbled 13% despite earnings of $8.1 million and a 3% revenue rise to $122.7 million. The retailer still anticipates mid-to-high-single-digit revenue growth in fiscal 2025.
