Bassett Reports Fiscal Q1 2026 Results - Furniture World Magazine

Bassett Furniture Industries, Inc. reported a 2.2% decrease in consolidated net sales for fiscal Q1 2026, totaling $80.3 million, with diluted earnings per share falling to $0.13.

Bassett plans continued investments in new retail locations and expects cost-saving initiatives to yield $1.5 to $2.0 million annually.
