GrowGeneration Corp. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
The cost of sales increased 5.2% year over year to $30.9 million in the quarter. Gross profit moved up 6.3% year over year to $12.3 million. The gross margin was 28.5% in the quarter under review compared with 28.3% in the prior-year quarter. The upside was driven by a higher mix of proprietary-brand products within the company’s Cultivation and Gardening segment.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 5% to $6.5 million in the quarter under review. However, total operating expenses fell 13.1% year over year to $14.7 million in the second quarter of 2026, aided by lower store operations and other operational expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA was $0.3 million in the quarter against the prior-year quarter’s negative $1.3 million.
