1 Company Who Recently Cut Its Dividend By 69%, And 1 Who Could Potentially Cut In The Near Future
Dividend cuts are rising as companies face persistent high interest rates, inflation, and changing consumer behavior, impacting even long-standing dividend payers.

Carter's posted positive comp sales and unit growth, signaling market share gains despite a declining US baby population. Profitability sharply deteriorated, with adjusted operating income down 75% and GAAP profits nearly breakeven due to price cuts, off-price sales, and rising SG&A. Upcoming tariffs pose major cost headwinds, and planned price increases may not be fully absorbed by consumers, risking further volume and profit declines.

Carter's: Going Against The Market's Narrative As Sales Turn
Carter's, Inc. has reported consistent sales declines over the past few years. Competition from Temu and Shein has pressured Carter's competitive positioning. Tariff changes have deteriorated Temu's and Shein's business model in the U.S. Carter's Q2 report underlines the change's benefit, as U.S. sales growth suddenly turned positive. The Q2 report did come with negatives as profitability faltered. Tariffs add pressure to upcoming quarters, although Carter's should manage to increasingly mitigate tariffs.
