Build-A-Bear Workshop (BBW) Q2 FY27 earnings call

Build-A-Bear's second quarter results fell short of expectations, primarily due to weaker traffic driven by less successful summer trend products and ongoing macroeconomic challenges. This led to a reduction in full-year revenue and pre-tax income guidance. Despite the near-term pressures, the company remains confident in its brand strength, citing strong early performance from its Halloween launch and continued progress on strategic initiatives like location expansion and brand licensing.
