Q4 is the largest revenue quarter each year and Q2 the smallest. Carter's beat EPS estimates in 17 of the last 20 quarters, including the last four.
Q3 results arrived between October 25 and October 29 in each of the past five years. That points to late October 2026 for the next report. It will show whether the year-over-year EPS gain of Q2 carries into Q3, which earned $0.74 per share a year earlier.
