La-Z-Boy reported fiscal 2026 third-quarter results on February 17, 2026, with sales of $542 million, up 4% year on year, driven by double-digit growth in its Retail segment and modest gains in Wholesale, despite weaker Joybird sales. GAAP operating margin was 5.5% and adjusted margin 6.1%, diluted EPS reached $0.52 on a GAAP basis and $0.61 adjusted, and operating cash flow surged 57% to $89 million.
