What is Five Below (FIVE), and what does it report?
Short answer · as of
Five Below sells discretionary merchandise across Leisure, Fashion And Home, and Party And Snack.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
Five Below sells discretionary merchandise across Leisure, Fashion And Home, and Party And Snack. That breadth makes the business less a narrow novelty chain than a broad discount destination for recreation, personal style, home decoration, celebrations and treats.
Reported revenue measures merchandise demand across those groups, while gross profit and operating profit show how much of that demand survives product costs and the store-level expense base. The annual series shows sustained sales expansion, but net income has been less even, making profitability as important as growth.
What do the latest results show for Five Below (FIVE)?
Short answer · as of
The most recent reported quarter, Q2 FY2026, carried revenue of $1.26B.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
The latest reported period delivered substantially higher revenue, gross profit, operating profit and net income than the comparable period. Reported revenue and earnings also cleared consensus throughout the available earnings history, indicating that the recent improvement has repeatedly exceeded expectations rather than appearing in isolation.
Management does not expect lower tariffs to produce a material gross-margin benefit in the near term because higher fuel costs are expected to offset the relief. That is an outlook statement, not an explanation for the reported improvement, but it identifies the cost mechanism most likely to determine whether current profitability persists.
Where is operating spending going?

What are the financial strengths and risks for Five Below (FIVE)?
Short answer
Cash and short-term investments were $1.19B at the Aug 1, 2026 balance-sheet date. Operating cash flow was $215.49M for the quarter ended Aug 1, 2026, meaning operations generated cash. These figures do not establish a cash runway.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
Liquidity is substantial: cash and short-term investments have risen sharply, recent operating cash flow has exceeded capital spending, and the current-liquidity measures remain healthy. Quality and distress screens also point to solid financial condition.
Debt still exceeds cash, so the balance sheet is not a net-cash story. The operating risk sits in merchandise economics: if fuel, freight or related costs absorb tariff relief while demand softens, gross-profit pressure would reach operating income quickly through the retail expense base.

What should you watch next at Five Below (FIVE)?
Short answer · as of
The next earnings report is expected on Dec 2, 2026. The number it tests is the $10.25 EPS analysts carry for it.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
The next earnings release should be judged against the current revenue and earnings expectations, but the more revealing test is the relationship among sales, gross profit and operating profit. Preserved margins despite the expected fuel offset would support the durability of the recovery; renewed compression would show that cost relief is not reaching the income statement.
Cash conversion deserves equal attention. Operating cash flow remaining comfortably above capital spending, alongside a stable or rising cash balance, would reinforce the financial improvement, while the longer-range consensus outlook already assumes continued expansion in revenue and earnings.
What management is planning
Management expectations, not completed milestones or guarantees. Selected verbatim excerpts; dates follow the transcript provider.
Net interest income is expected to be approximately $8 million for the third quarter and the effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 25%.
Daniel Sullivan ·
We expect adjusted net interest income of approximately $36 million and a full year effective tax rate of approximately 25%.
Daniel Sullivan ·
I think in the second half of the year, while we do anticipate lower tariffs, we don't anticipate material flow through to gross margin because fuel costs are likely going to be higher and will likely offset that.
Daniel Sullivan ·
How does Five Below compare with its peers?
Short answer
Five Below's score ranks 4th of 13 in the bounded comparison shown, against 12 same-model peers. These are company scores, not expected investment returns. The set lists named competitors first, then companies in the same data-provider industry classification closest in market value; that classification is the provider's, not our judgment of business similarity.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
Unlike a category-specific retailer, Five Below assembles leisure products, fashion and home goods, party supplies and snacks under the same discount proposition. Revenue therefore reflects demand across a varied discretionary basket rather than dependence on a narrow merchandise cycle.
That breadth changes the mix of what is sold, not the underlying exposure: customers can defer much of the assortment, seasonal relevance matters, and product-cost pressure can affect many categories at once. Five Below’s distinguishing feature is the combination of broad utility and novelty within specialty discount retail.

FIVE Consumer Cyclical Stock FAQ
Research dated 2026-09-13; the answers below are from that research, and the full attribution is under Sources. The last 2 questions are answered from this page's own dated data, not from the research.
What does Five Below actually sell?
Five Below sells a rotating discount assortment spanning leisure goods, technology accessories, fashion, home décor, party supplies, candy and snacks. Leisure is the largest reported merchandise group.
Why do tariffs and fuel costs matter to Five Below’s margin?
Management expects tariff pressure to ease but does not expect a material gross-margin benefit because higher fuel costs are likely to offset it. The key issue is whether lower merchandise costs survive distribution pressure and reach gross profit.
Which Five Below merchandise group contributes the most revenue?
Leisure contributes the most reported revenue, ahead of Fashion And Home and Party And Snack. That group includes recreation, games, technology accessories, media and creative products.
Is Five Below’s rotating discount assortment turning sales into cash?
Recent operating cash flow has exceeded capital spending, while cash and short-term investments have climbed. The pattern supports internal funding capacity even though total debt remains above cash.

Known dates and sources are recorded on their own rows; an em dash or UNRECORDED tier preserves a stored observation without inventing either. The quarterly income statement is provider-standardized (FMP) under one row, and scale definitions — a 0-100 rating, the band ladder, the Piotroski 0–9 range — are fixed rather than measured.
