Shoe Carnival, Inc. is changing its corporate name to Shoe Station Group, Inc. after shareholders approved an amendment to its articles of incorporation.

At the 2026 annual meeting, shareholders elected two directors, approved executive compensation on an advisory basis, ratified Deloitte & Touche LLP as auditor for fiscal 2026, and strongly supported the name change. The board also declared a $0.17 per share quarterly cash dividend, payable on July 20, 2026 to shareholders of record on July 6, 2026, marking the company’s 57th consecutive quarterly dividend.
The company describes the new name and ticker as aligning with its multi-banner strategy, with Shoe Station as its primary long-term growth vehicle while continuing to operate Shoe Carnival in markets where it is dominant. As of June 11, 2026, the company operated 426 stores across 35 states and Puerto Rico under the Shoe Carnival and Shoe Station banners.
Shoe Carnival, Inc. reported first quarter 2026 net sales of $270.7 million, down slightly from $277.7 million a year earlier, and posted a GAAP net loss of $5.6 million, or $(0.21) per diluted share. Excluding $13.6 million of CEO transition and rebanner review charges, Adjusted EPS was $0.23, matching consensus expectations.
Gross margin declined to 33.3% from 34.5% as heavier promotions and higher e-commerce shipping costs weighed on profitability. Comparable store sales fell 2.1%, with Shoe Carnival banner sales down 2.2% and Shoe Station sales down 3.1%, but trends improved versus fiscal 2025.
The company ended the quarter debt-free with $129.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, up 39% year over year, and inventories down by $11.2 million. It returned about $12 million to shareholders through dividends and $7.0 million of share repurchases, raised its quarterly dividend to $0.17 per share, and reaffirmed full-year 2026 guidance for net sales of $1.125–$1.147 billion and Adjusted EPS of $1.40–$1.60.

For Fiscal 2026, management guides net sales to a range of down 1% to up 1%, a gross margin near 34%, and adjusted EPS between $1.40 and $1.60, reflecting tariff-driven cost pressure, heavier promotions, and slower store rebanners while it refines its Shoe Station strategy.
