Weyco Group Q1 Net Earnings Up 10% to $6.1M; EPS $0.64; Tariff Refunds Claimed

AI Summary

Weyco Group reported a 10% increase in net earnings to $6.1 million and a 12.3% rise in diluted EPS to $0.64 for the first quarter of 2026, despite consolidated net sales remaining flat. The company also announced it submitted claims for $18.6 million in IEEPA tariff refunds after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the tariffs invalid. However, a new 10% across-the-board tariff has been implemented, creating near-term gross margin uncertainty.
