Oxford Industries says start of holiday season softer than planned

CEO Tom Chubb concluded, “The start of the holiday season has been softer than we planned, influenced by a combination of tariff related product gaps in certain critical seasonal categories and a more promotional retail environment. We are working quickly and taking thoughtful actions to align our assortments and promotional strategies with current consumer preferences and demand patterns. With these adjustments and a more cautious view of the remainder of the year, we now expect full-year performance to be below our prior outlook. Even with these near-term challenges, we remain focused on disciplined inventory and expense management, supporting our strong portfolio of brands, and investing for long-term growth. I want to thank our exceptional team for their continued commitment and hard work.”
