Description: BKE Buckle November 10, 2025
The Buckle, Inc. (NYSE:BKE) is a U.S. retailer focused on casual apparel, footwear, and accessories for men, women, and children, operating under the Buckle and Buckle Youth brands. Its merchandise mix includes a broad range of national brands and an extensive private-label portfolio (e.g., BKE, Buckle Black, Ace High, Daytrip, etc.), sold through a network of over 400 brick-and-mortar stores and its e-commerce site buckle.com.
Key operating metrics from the most recent fiscal year show total revenue of roughly $1.2 billion, with comparable-store sales up about 5% YoY and e-commerce contributing approximately 30% of total sales-a figure that has been rising at double-digit rates. Inventory turnover remains near 4.5×, reflecting efficient stock management, while the company’s loyalty program now covers over 2 million members, driving repeat-purchase frequency.
Sector-wide, Buckle’s performance is sensitive to discretionary consumer spending trends, which are influenced by macro-level factors such as employment growth, real-wage inflation, and the pace of inflationary pressure on apparel prices. A continued shift toward omni-channel shopping and demand for differentiated private-label offerings are also primary growth levers for mid-price apparel retailers.
