LightInTheBox Holding stock (ISIN US53225G2012) was last at USD 2.91 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, up 3.56 percent from USD 2.81. The latest operating picture is mixed: second-quarter revenue fell 4 percent year over year to USD 57 million, while gross margin held at 66.1 percent, according to TradingKey.

Revenue falls as products change

The Q2 2026 decline reflected LightInTheBox's deliberate phaseout of long-tail products. Net income was USD 1.6 million, down from USD 2 million in Q2 2025, while adjusted EBITDA reached USD 1.9 million, according to TradingKey.

The margin comparison offers the main counterweight to the weaker sales number. Gross margin improved from 65.9 percent in Q2 2025 to 66.1 percent in Q2 2026, while operating expenses declined 4 percent to USD 35 million and fell to 62 percent of revenue from 63 percent.

First-half profit stays positive

For the first half of 2026, revenue increased 3 percent year over year to USD 108.8 million, and net income reached USD 2.7 million. Adjusted EBITDA was USD 3.3 million, giving the company a profitable base while its product mix shifts toward higher-margin lifestyle offerings, according to TradingKey.

Management also described progress across the Ador, Msglamor and Skol brands and said repeat purchase rates were increasing. The same earnings discussion identified geopolitical logistics pressure and foreign-exchange effects as operating risks for the cross-border retailer.

Analyst valuation moves lower

Edison Investment Research said on September 15, 2026, that weaker Q2 revenue momentum led it to reduce its FY26 and FY27 pretax profit estimates by 14 percent and 29 percent, respectively. Its indicated valuation fell to USD 5.49 per American depositary share from USD 6.24, as reported in the Edison research note.

That valuation remains above the October 2 price, but the stock was 30.2 percent below its 52-week high of USD 4.17. The range also extended down to USD 1.63, making the latest quote a mid-range reading rather than a new yearly high.

Stock remains below yearly high

LightInTheBox Holding stock was last at USD 2.91 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, at 3:59 p.m. ET, with volume of 4,262 shares. The price, daily move and 52-week range point to a session gain inside a broader valuation debate shaped by softer quarterly sales and stable margins.
