Guess Posts 6% Revenue Gain in Q2

Guess? (NYSE:GES), a global fashion retailer known for its denim and distinctive lifestyle apparel, reported Q2 FY2026 earnings on August 27, 2025. The most significant development in the report was the announcement of a proposed take-private transaction, with Authentic Brands Group and company founders planning to acquire and delist the company. In terms of results, Revenue (GAAP) climbed to $772.9 million, a 6% increase from the same period last year, outpacing both internal and external expectations.
