Financial Education on $RVLV (Nov 4, 2026)
RVLV's latest quarter had 20% net sales growth but costs rose faster (cost of sales +22%, fulfillment +24%, selling/distribution +23%), operating income fell 9% and EPS fell 31%. The speaker is not focused on these short-term cost issues, expects costs to be controlled and rapid revenue growth to continue, cites an amazing balance sheet, and will reassess next year's income statement.

The second of these three stocks is this one, RVLV Revolve. This stock is currently just below $20, at $19.98. We made about $20,000 in profit on this stock in the public account, right?
And this is an e-commerce company. They sell clothes. Hmm, the average order amount is usually around $200 or $300. Right now, its earnings report has been published within the last 24 hours.
And, when it comes to this, the net sales growth was great, 20%. That's great, but they had cost issues during the quarter. Therefore, the cost of sales increased by 22%. Therefore, gross profit increased by 19% less than net sales.
Fulfillment costs increased by 24% and selling and distribution costs increased by 23%. These are much higher than revenue and gross profit as a percentage. So, this is not what we want to see, right?
Marketing costs were as high as 26% and GNA costs were as high as 20%. Isn't that right? Total operating expenses increased by 23%. As a result, operating income actually decreased by 9% year-on-year.
Um, other income here, it's kind of a one-time thing that hurt them here. So, keep in mind that or, you know, it helped them a lot less here, meaning it was $1.9 million versus $7.3 million as a benefit.
Okay, so pre-tax income is down 25%, but without this huge aid it wouldn't have been that much, it would have been much lower last year. Uh, net income fell 27% and EPS for Revolve fell 31%.
So I'm not looking at short-term cost issues. I believe they will get those costs under control and they will continue to grow revenue at a rapid rate. And then, you know, I think I'll evaluate Revolve's income statement next year.
And um, we will evaluate, you know, A and B grade income statements, in my personal opinion. And by the way, I also have an amazing balance sheet for that company.
