Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Apparel Retail is in recovery. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
The reason to own it still holds.

View ManagementThis stock is volatile — it swings about 2% on a typical day and fell roughly 51% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskLands' End's digital capabilities must strengthen customer engagement as revenue growth remains modest. Revenue rose 2.7% year over year in Q2 FY2026, after falling 8.5% in Q1. The latest quarter missed non-GAAP EPS consensus by 10%. LE trades at 10× P/E versus a 16× peer median. The price is roughly in line with forecast growth, despite the lower peer multiple. Fragile cash backing and a 39% next-quarter miss probability threaten the case. Peer multiples imply a price about 21% above where it trades. Our read remains intact; this read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-10-30. LE is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
