Bull points
- Shark Ninja is firing on all cylinders as we kick off 2026. Our Q1 results are a powerful testament of what we believe this company is built to do. Win with consumers, execute with precision, and grow from a position of real strength.
- Net sales increased nearly 16% year-over-year, driven by contributions from all three growth pillars. Domestic grew 8.4%, while point-of-sale growth even higher in the double digits. Our international growth accelerated to almost 32% with broad-based strength across geographies.
- Adjusted EBITDA increased roughly 18% with higher adjusted EBITDA margins compared to the prior period. This performance was driven by our fourth consecutive quarter of leverage in adjusted operating expense as a percentage of net sales.
Bear points
- Tariffs presented a sizable headwind with a full quarter of impact in Q1 of 2026 compared to a baseline with minimal tariffs in the prior year period.
