Sportsman’s Warehouse is proactively managing inventory in anticipation of rising tariffs, with CEO Paul Stone noting a $20 million frontloading of spring and summer stock primarily in hunting, fishing, and camping categories. CFO Jeff White described this as a low-risk investment due to strong demand for these items. The retailer’s total inventory reached $412.3 million, up 5% year-over-year, despite increased freight costs affecting margins. Additionally, Sportsman’s Warehouse is cutting SKUs by 20% to simplify operations and improve efficiency, while enhancing inventory management through a new software partnership.
