The Buckle (NYSE:BKE) saw a sharp acceleration in sales growth during February, outperforming the low-single-digit gains seen at the close of its previous fiscal year.
The Kearney, Nebraska-based denim specialist reported on March 5, 2026, that comparable store net sales for the four-week period ended February 28, 2026, increased 8% compared to the same period in 2025.
Total net sales for the fiscal month rose 8.8% to $84.4 million, up from $77.6 million a year ago.
The results indicate a significant rebound in momentum following January’s 1.7% comparable sales growth and suggest strong consumer appetite for the company’s spring transition assortments.
During the month, the company opened one new location in Charlotte, North Carolina, and closed one store, maintaining its total count at 440 retail stores across 42 states.
The sales update serves as a precursor to the company’s fourth-quarter and full-year fiscal 2025 financial results, which are scheduled to be released before the market opens on Friday, March 13, 2026.
