Jim Cramer Says “Burlington’s Latest Guidance Was Fairly Tepid”

Sat, Sep 13, 2025, 8:45 AM 3 min read

Burlington Stores, Inc. (NYSE:BURL) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer put under the microscope. Cramer noted that the company had a strong quarter. He commented:

“Second on the list is Burlington Stores, which saw roughly 2.5% comparable sales growth in the first half because… I… have come to expect more than that, but they have flat growth in the first quarter, but 5% growth in the second, well ahead of the 1.5% number that Wall Street was looking for. Burlington also had a strong quarter. Despite softer trends in May, they were able to beat expectations as business got back to normal in June and July. We care about that cadence. Overall, it was a solid quarter… although management struck a more conservative tone with their full-year guidance, not as optimistic as TJX.
