Grocery Outlet Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: GO) reported second quarter fiscal 2026 net sales of $1.19 billion, up 1.1%, with comparable store sales down 0.3%, and net income of $5.6 million or $0.06 per diluted share versus $5.0 million a year ago. Management said results came in ahead of its outlook, and CEO Jason Potter cited improving comp trends with positive traffic. The first half included a $158.0 million non-cash goodwill impairment, driven by a decline in market capitalization, which produced a 26-week net loss of $174.7 million or $(1.77) per diluted share.
