Purple Innovation ( (PRPL) ) just unveiled an update.
Purple Innovation reported first-quarter 2026 results on April 28, 2026, with net revenue of $95.7 million, down 8.1% year over year as ecommerce and wholesale softened, partly offset by showroom growth and a 7.0% increase in showroom comparable sales. Gross margin declined to 36.8% due to investment in Royale floor models and lower production leverage, operating expenses fell 6.3% on cost savings, adjusted EBITDA remained at a loss of $4.8 million, net loss widened to $30.5 million, cash was steady at $25 million, inventories edged down, and full-year 2026 revenue guidance was reduced to $465–$485 million while EBITDA guidance was reaffirmed.
In executive changes, Chief Financial Officer Todd Vogensen notified the company of his resignation effective May 1, 2026, with the company stating his departure was not due to any disagreement over financial reporting or accounting. On April 24, 2026, the board appointed industry veteran Robert G. Lucian as CFO effective the week of April 27, 2026, offering a $600,000 base salary plus incentives, a move that brings deep finance experience from La-Z-Boy, Coty and Procter & Gamble as Purple seeks to strengthen its financial leadership amid a strategic focus on premium products and wholesale expansion.

Spark’s Take on PRPL Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, PRPL is a Neutral.
The score is held down primarily by weak financial fundamentals (negative equity, ongoing losses, and cash burn) and a still-bearish technical trend. This is partially offset by a more positive earnings outlook, with management guiding to materially higher 2026 adjusted EBITDA and positive free cash flow, alongside gross margin remaining above 40%.
