NYSE:RVLV Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at May 2026
NYSE:RVLV Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at May 2026

TTM earnings reach US$64.2 million

  • Over the last twelve months, Revolve Group generated US$1.27b of revenue and US$64.2 million of net income, with basic EPS at US$0.90 on a trailing basis.
  • Supporters of the bullish view point out that earnings growth of 27.2% over the past year and forecast annual earnings growth of about 12.2% line up with this TTM EPS trend. However, the data also show a five year annual earnings decline of 15.7%, which means
    • recent EPS of US$0.90 and net income of US$64.2 million are consistent with the idea of a recovery phase rather than a long, uninterrupted growth story
    • the contrast between the one year earnings gain and the longer term decline is exactly where you should test how durable you think this improvement will be before leaning on optimistic forecasts
On top of these results, bulls argue that the latest profitability and earnings trends could justify stronger long term expectations if they continue, so it is worth seeing how that case is built out in more detail in the 🐂 Revolve Group Bull Case.

Margins at 5.1% challenge bearish worries

  • Net profit margin is currently 5.1%, compared with 4.4% a year ago, off quarterly revenue that moved from US$296.7 million in Q1 2025 to US$342.9 million in Q1 2026 and quarterly net income that went from US$11.8 million to US$14.4 million over the same periods.
  • Bears focus on pressure from tariffs, logistics costs and promotions, arguing that margins could compress from 4.4% toward 3.7%. Yet the latest figures show
    • reported margin at 5.1% and Q1 2026 net income of US$14.4 million on US$342.9 million of revenue are not consistent with margin compression so far compared with the 4.4% margin cited for the prior year
    • if costs were already overwhelming the business, you would expect weaker net income than the US$64.2 million produced over the last twelve months on US$1.27b of revenue
Skeptics warn that these margins could still come under pressure if the cost headwinds they highlight start to bite harder, so it can be useful to check how that cautious case is framed in the 🐻 Revolve Group Bear Case.

Premium 22.5x P/E with DCF fair value at US$28.30

  • Revolve Group trades on a trailing P/E of 22.5x compared with 19.8x for the US Specialty Retail industry and 15.2x for peers, while the DCF fair value of US$28.30 sits above the current share price of US$20.19.
  • What stands out in the consensus style narrative is the tension between paying a premium multiple and the implied upside, because
    • the DCF fair value of US$28.30 is higher than the current price of US$20.19, and analysts as a group reference upside toward an average target of about US$30.29, yet revenue growth is only projected at 7.3% per year versus 11.3% for the broader US market
    • forecast earnings growth around 12.2% a year, together with a net margin of 5.1%, helps explain why some investors are willing to pay 22.5x earnings, but the gap to peer P/E levels means you need to be comfortable that this growth and profitability profile justifies that premium
