Description: GCO Genesco October 28, 2025

Genesco Inc. (NYSE:GCO) is a diversified footwear and apparel retailer and wholesaler that operates through four distinct segments: Journeys Group (youth-focused stores and e-commerce), Schuh Group (casual and athletic footwear in the U.K. and Ireland), Johnston & Murphy Group (men’s footwear and apparel via retail, e-commerce, and wholesale), and Genesco Brands Group (licensed footwear under Levi’s, Dockers, G.H. Bass, etc.). The company sells through a mix of physical stores across the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom, and Ireland, as well as a suite of brand-specific e-commerce sites.

Key recent metrics: • FY 2023 revenue was $2.5 billion, up 4% year-over-year, driven primarily by a 12% rise in e-commerce sales across all segments. • Same-store sales for the Journeys Group fell 2% in the most recent quarter, reflecting broader discretionary-spending pressure on younger consumers. • The Schuh segment’s operating margin expanded to 8.5% as the company leveraged higher-margin private-label offerings and cost-saving initiatives.

Macro-level drivers affecting Genesco include the health of the U.S. consumer discretionary sector, shifts in teen and young-adult fashion trends, and the ongoing transition to online shopping, which has accelerated post-pandemic. Additionally, currency fluctuations in the U.K. and Eurozone can materially impact the Schuh segment’s profitability.
