Savers Value Village, Inc. Q2 2026 Earnings Recap

Shares rose 12.1% following a quarter that showcased stronger-than-expected U.S. comp growth and accelerating new store profitability, driven in part by the successful rollout of ThriftIQ pricing technology.

Key Takeaways

• U.S. comps grew 6.6%, supported by both higher basket size and transaction frequency, driving 11.6% sales growth in the region.
• Canadian comps were modest at 0.8%, partially aided by a calendar shift; however, Canadian segment profit grew nearly 16%, with margin expansion of 330 basis points.
• Adjusted EBITDA rose 8% to $75 million, representing 16.6% of sales, reflecting operational leverage and productivity initiatives.
• New store openings totaled six, including a record-opening week store in North Carolina, with new store profitability ramping faster than originally anticipated.
