On average, Wall Street expects Designer Brands to post earnings per share of $0.14 per share and revenue of around $730.59 million. On July 11, Telsey Advisory analyst Dana Telsey lowered the price target on DBI from $5 to $4, keeping its Market Perform rating. The analyst pointed out that despite the modest expectations, Designer Brands’ Q1 FY2025 results were disappointing.

The company posted $687 million in revenue, down by 8% from a year ago and missing consensus by $45.91 million. Telsey noted that the demand was softer than expected, with unfavorable conditions playing a role. The U.S. retail reported a 7.3% drop in comps and a 7.7% decline in total sales. The macroeconomic environment remains challenging, with pressure on the consumer remaining a concern. Telsey said that the impact from tariffs also remains an issue, with consumers reacting to higher prices. Designer Brands has not provided an outlook for the full year 2025 due to these uncertain conditions.

As of August 25, Telsey Advisory’s price target of $4 implies an upside of 8.55% from current levels.
