Despite strong revenue growth, Genesco's profitability issues and lack of operational leverage are concerning. The muted FY26 guidance and minimal margin expansion make the stock less attractive, especially at a 16x forward earnings valuation. This suggests a potential negative impact on the stock price in the short term.
