Description: CRI Carter’s November 14, 2025

Carter’s, Inc. (NYSE:CRI) designs, sources, and markets a portfolio of children’s apparel and related products-including Carter’s, OshKosh B’gosh, Skip Hop, and several licensed lines-across three operating segments: U.S. Retail, U.S. Wholesale, and International.

The company’s core offerings span baby and toddler basics (bodysuits, sleepwear, dresses) and play-time apparel (denim, overalls, knit tops) under the Carter’s and OshKosh brands, while the Skip Hop brand supplies bags, bedding, and accessories. Sales are generated through a mix of wholesale partners (department stores, specialty chains), company-owned retail locations, and direct-to-consumer channels such as carters.com, oshkosh.com, skiphop.com, and a mobile app.

Key recent metrics: FY2023 net revenue reached approximately $4.3 billion, with comparable-sales growth of 5% YoY driven largely by a 15% surge in e-commerce sales. The business benefits from a relatively low-price elasticity segment, as infant apparel demand is historically resilient to macro-economic cycles, while overall U.S. consumer discretionary spending and birth-rate trends remain primary drivers of top-line performance.
