Burlington Stores stock (ISIN US1220171060) was last at USD 276.43 on the NYSE on October 6, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, up 1.70 percent. The latest quarterly report showed revenue growth alongside an adjusted earnings beat, giving the off-price retailer two distinct signals for investors.
Q2 revenue rose 11 percent
According to The Globe and Mail on August 27, 2026, Burlington reported Q2 CY2026 revenue of USD 3.00 billion for the period ended August 1, 2026, an 11 percent year-over-year increase. Revenue still came in below the USD 3.03 billion analyst estimate, a 0.8 percent miss.
The earnings line was more favorable. Adjusted EPS reached USD 2.96 versus USD 2.19 consensus, a 35.4 percent beat, while adjusted EBITDA was USD 375.3 million against USD 307.7 million expected.
Guidance raises the bar
MarketBeat reported on September 29, 2026, that management guided to fiscal 2026 EPS of USD 11.77-11.97 and Q3 adjusted EPS of USD 1.600-1.700. The Q3 sales outlook calls for 9 percent to 11 percent growth, while the full-year sales outlook is 10 percent to 11 percent.
The comparison matters because the retailer's comparable-store sales rose only 2 percent in Q2, according to The Globe and Mail. Store expansion therefore remains important to the growth profile, with 1,287 locations at the quarter end versus 1,138 a year earlier.
Analysts see higher value
The analyst view remains constructive. MarketBeat said on September 29, 2026, that 20 analysts carried a Moderate Buy consensus, with 14 Buy ratings and six Holds. The average 12-month price target was USD 370.75, 34.2 percent above the October 6 price.
CNBC reported on October 2, 2026, that Goldman Sachs added Burlington to its October US Conviction List with a USD 382 price target. The report also identified warmer weather and higher oil prices as risks to sales, keeping execution and margin expansion central to the thesis.
Stock remains below yearly high
BURL's USD 276.43 price on October 6, 2026, stood USD 101.90 below its 52-week high of USD 378.33 and USD 49.58 above its 52-week low of USD 226.85. Its market capitalization was USD 17.4 billion, while trading volume reached 943,472 shares on the same date.
For investors, the next quantified checkpoint is the Q3 report. Yahoo Finance lists November 27, 2026, for Burlington's Q3 2026 earnings announcement.
