“Lakeland Industries (LAKE) LAKE was our weakest performer in 4Q25, declining 45.31%. We had reduced our position ahead of its FY3Q26 report, as we thought there could be some weaknesses in sales and merger integration.”
Lakeland Industries - AddedRewey AMJune 2025
“Lakeland Industries (LAKE) Lakeland Industries was our weakest performer in 2Q25, declining 31.40% following a soft FY1Q26 report with revenue and earnings below expectations due to delayed orders and tariff disruptions. We believe the market overreacted and remain optimistic about LAKE’s prospects. The company is in the early stages of transitioning to a full-service provider of firefighter gear and is expected to improve margins through the integration of recent acquisitions and the fulfillment of delayed orders. Tariff impacts should be mitigated by shifting production to favorable regions, including USMCA-covered facilities. We increased our position on the price weakness during the quarter.”
