Crown Crafts (NASDAQ-CM: CRWS) reported challenging first quarter fiscal 2026 results, with net sales declining 4.5% to $15.5 million compared to $16.2 million in the prior year quarter. The company posted a net loss of $1.10 million, or ($0.10) per share, significantly wider than the ($0.3) million loss in the previous year.
The quarter was marked by the Baby Boom acquisition contributing $2.1 million in sales, offset by decreased sales in bibs, toys, and disposable products.

Das Unternehmen verzeichnete einen Nettoverlust von $1.10 Millionen, bzw. ($0.10) je Aktie, deutlich höher als der Verlust von ($0.3) Millionen im Vorjahr.
Das Quartal war geprägt von einem Beitrag der Übernahme von Baby Boom in Höhe von $2.1 Millionen zu den Umsätzen, dem eine rückläufige Nachfrage bei Lätzchen, Spielzeug und Einwegartikeln gegenüberstand. Die Bruttomarge schrumpfte vor allem aufgrund gestiegener Zölle auf chinesische Importe von 24.5% auf 22.7%. Trotz der Herausforderungen behielt das Unternehmen die vierteljährliche Dividende von $0.08 je Aktie bei.
