STEVEN MADDEN, LTD.

SHOO

Steven Madden, Ltd. achieved notable revenue growth in 2025 driven primarily by the acquisition of Kurt Geiger, which also expanded its international footprint and brand breadth. However, operating income declined sharply despite higher sales, reflecting increased costs associated with the acquisition and heightened competitive and supply chain challenges. Cash flow generation remains positive but has weakened compared to prior years amid elevated capital expenditures for growth initiatives. The company’s flexible sourcing model, strong design capabilities, and diverse distribution channels support future growth, though successful integration and evolving retail dynamics will be critical to sustaining momentum.
