While the stock has seen significant YTD losses, the combination of 4.4% comp store sales growth and expanded high-ticket product availability suggests a potential recovery in fundamentals.

The expansion of Ray-Ban and Oakley Meta smart-glasses from a pilot to all stores and online provides a concrete mechanism for increasing average ticket prices. This, alongside first-quarter comp store sales growth of 4.4%, indicates that the premium product strategy is effectively driving profitability.
