The Buckle (BKE) Earnings: Q2 Fiscal 2026 Results and Next Report Date

The quarter ended August 1, 2026 and Buckle published the results on August 21, 2026. Revenue and diluted EPS are shown against Q2 fiscal 2025, the same quarter a year earlier, which takes seasonal swings out of the comparison.

• Buckle's fiscal 2026 ends in late January 2027. The second quarter is the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2026.
• Gross margin in the quarter benefited from tariff refunds equal to 0.65% of net sales, according to the 10-Q.

Buckle earned net income of $44.4 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, in Q2 fiscal 2026, compared with $45.0 million, or $0.89, a year earlier. Buckle reports only GAAP figures and no adjusted EPS. (Buckle Q2 fiscal 2026 release (8-K Exhibit 99.1), Aug 21, 2026)

Gross margin rose to 47.8% of net sales from 47.4%, helped by tariff refunds worth 0.65% of net sales, but selling, general and administrative expenses rose to 30.4% of net sales from 29.0% because of higher marketing spending (0.45% of net sales) and store labor-related expenses (0.35%). Income from operations fell to $55.8 million from $56.3 million. (Buckle Form 10-Q, Q2 fiscal 2026, Sep 10, 2026; Buckle Q2 fiscal 2026 release (8-K Exhibit 99.1), Aug 21, 2026)

Diluted weighted average shares were 51.0 million against 50.6 million a year earlier. Buckle bought back no shares in the quarter and has 410,655 shares remaining under a 1,000,000 share repurchase plan authorized in 2008. Income tax expense was $14.4 million on pre-tax income of $58.8 million. (Buckle Q2 fiscal 2026 release (8-K Exhibit 99.1), Aug 21, 2026; Buckle Form 10-Q, Q2 fiscal 2026, Sep 10, 2026)

Diluted EPS divides net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the quarter, plus the shares that options and other equity awards could add. Buybacks shrink that count and lift EPS for the same profit; share issuance and stock awards enlarge it.

Buckle does not publish an outlook in its release or give revenue or earnings guidance. The release reports the quarter's results, comparable store sales and online sales, and the company hosts an audio webcast the same morning. (Buckle Q2 fiscal 2026 release (8-K Exhibit 99.1), Aug 21, 2026)

A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover Buckle, collected by a data provider and revised up to the day of the report. A quarter that lands above it says how expectations were set as much as how the business did, and the share price on the day also reflects the guidance and the lines no consensus covers.

The consensus figures on this page are Yahoo Finance's, as pulled on the date shown. Each comes with the number of analysts behind it; the smaller that number, the more one revised estimate can move the average.

The figures below are the ones Buckle's own release and filings put weight on for Q2 fiscal 2026, with the latest reported value for each.

What the quarter means for a holding is a separate question from what it reported. The case for and against owning BKE is on is BKE a buy or a sell?, what analysts expect next is on the BKE forecast, and what the company does is on the The Buckle (BKE) stock page.

Every number on this page can be traced to a document Buckle published. Checking one takes a couple of minutes, and it is worth doing before you quote a figure anywhere.

• The results release is the document linked in the source line above. Companies publish it on their investor relations site at the moment results go out, and it carries the headline tables: revenue, operating income, net income and EPS for the quarter and the year-ago quarter.
• The same release is filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 8-K under Item 2.02, usually on the day of the report. The SEC copy does not change after the fact, which makes it the safer thing to link when you cite a number.
• The quarterly report (Form 10-Q) follows within a few weeks and carries the full financial statements, the segment note and management's discussion of what changed. The fourth quarter is covered by the annual report (Form 10-K) instead.
• Restated comparisons are flagged in the notes on this page. When a company redraws its segments or changes how it adjusts EPS, it restates the year-ago column, so the year-ago figure in a new release can differ from the one printed a year ago. This page always uses the comparison in the newer release, because that is the like-for-like one.
