GrowGeneration narrows losses and reaffirms 2026 outlook

An announcement from GrowGeneration ( (GRWG) ) is now available.

On May 12, 2026, GrowGeneration reported first-quarter 2026 results showing net sales of $38.4 million, up 7.5% year over year, driven largely by growth in its commercial B2B and storage solutions businesses, and a rising mix of proprietary brands that reached 37% of cultivation and gardening revenue. Despite a lower gross margin of 25.4%, cost-cutting and retail footprint reductions helped shrink the GAAP net loss to $4.9 million from $9.4 million, cut total operating expenses by 23.4% to $15 million and improve adjusted EBITDA loss to $1.6 million, while the company ended the quarter with $41.1 million in cash and no debt.

Management highlighted that structural cost actions and higher-margin proprietary products are delivering operating leverage, even as four stores were closed as part of a network optimization strategy. Reaffirming its 2026 outlook, GrowGeneration maintained guidance for full-year revenue of $162 million to $168 million, targeted proprietary brand penetration of about 40% and breakeven adjusted EBITDA, and forecast sequential sales growth in the second quarter with profitability expected to build through the seasonally stronger outdoor cultivation months.

The most recent analyst rating on (GRWG) stock is a Hold with a $1.25 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on GrowGeneration stock, see the GRWG Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GRWG Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GRWG is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by continued unprofitability and recent cash burn despite improving trends. Offsetting this, the latest guidance outlines a credible path toward breakeven with structural cost reductions, improving gross margin and proprietary-brand mix, while technicals are supportive but look extended. Valuation remains difficult to justify on earnings until profitability is reached.
