Guess has an operating margin of 5.8%, meaning the company retains $6 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 29/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is down from 9.5% the prior year.
Guess's revenue grew 7.9% year-over-year to $3.0B, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 51/100.
Guess carries a low D/E ratio of 0.50, meaning only $0.50 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 93/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.
Guess's current ratio of 1.57 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 43/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.
While Guess generated $121.7M in operating cash flow, capex of $86.1M consumed most of it, leaving $35.6M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 6/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.
Guess's ROE of 12.5% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 50/100. This is down from 35.0% the prior year.

Guess passes 6 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, 1 of 2 efficiency signals pass.
For every $1 of reported earnings, Guess generates $2.01 in operating cash flow ($121.7M OCF vs $60.4M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.
Guess earns $5.8 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($173.8M vs $30.1M). This wide margin provides strong safety for debt servicing, even if earnings decline temporarily.
