From LAKELAND INDUSTRIES INC's FY2026 10-K, filed Apr 16, 2026 · read the filing
LAKELAND INDUSTRIES makes medical devices and equipment. It took in $192.6M last year, which makes it a smaller company. It spends more than it earns — losing about 13 cents on every dollar of sales.
The financial picture is led by growth, while profitability and debt remain weak.
A conclusion from the filings, not a recommendation. Detailed figures and supporting evidence appear in their dedicated sections below.
Financial health
A mixed picture — some clear strengths and some weaknesses.
From LAKELAND INDUSTRIES INC's FY2026 annual filing · share price scored separately
Largest year-over-year changes in FY2026
Operating income
-$9.3M → -$15.5M
Profit
-$18.1M → -$25.3M
Gross margin
41.1% → 32.9%
Long-term debt
$16.4M → $30.4M
Measured against FY2025, from the 10-K filed Apr 16, 2026
Deteriorated: $6.2M wider
-$9.3M to -$15.5MCritical
Why it matters: Profit from running the business, before interest and tax. Less exposed than profit to one-off financing and tax items, so a clearer read on the business itself.
Deteriorated: $7.2M wider
-$18.1M to -$25.3MCritical
Why it matters: Profit swings far more than sales do, and one-off items — a legal settlement, a tax charge, an asset sale — move it without the underlying business changing.
How the latest move compares (quote live), and what was published around it
LAKE fell 1.18% on the latest quote. The average Health Care company tracked here moved +1.62%, and the S&P 500 −1.04%. That is 2.8 points below its sector and in line with the market.
These coincide with the move in time. None is presented as its cause: a price can move on news that names no company, on the wider market, or on trading that no document records.
Expectations
Not from the filings — what other people are betting on, and what the price already assumes.
Measured on and published about a week later — this is a fortnightly snapshot, not a live position.
About 12.3% of this company's shares have been borrowed and sold by people expecting to buy them back cheaper. That is a bet the price falls. Those people can be wrong, and when a heavily shorted share rises they have to buy it back, which pushes it up further.
The essentials
Each answered from the filings, with the numbers behind it.
No. It lost $25.3M last year, losing about 13 cents on every dollar of sales.
Yes, quickly. Sales grew 15.2% last year.
Yes — it carries debt while operations are consuming cash rather than generating it. For every $1 it owes, it owns $2.60 in assets. Its operating profit does not cover its interest bill — -7.22x against the interest it owes.
Core operating and valuation reference metrics
Whether the dividend is covered by what the business actually earns
It paid a dividend while making a loss, so the payment did not come out of profits — it came from reserves, borrowing or asset sales. It has paid in each of the last 3 years.
WeakFigures from the FY2026 annual filing
Last year it lost $25.3M and generated -$15.8M of cash from operations.

Every company's figures are checked for internal consistency: the balance sheet adding up, figures sharing one currency, cash flow and share counts within plausible ranges, and how recent the latest annual report is. Nothing here changes a figure.
Financial figures are from LAKE's 10-K for fiscal year 2026 (period ending 2026-01-31, filed Apr 16, 2026), reported under the US GAAP taxonomy. View the source filing.
3 of 4 scored areas had enough reported figures to judge
The score averages profitability, growth, debt and accounting. Accounting had too few reported figures and is left out of the average rather than counted as a weakness, so a company is never marked down for a figure it did not publish. Cash generation is shown for context and already feeds profitability. Valuation is scored separately, because a share price says nothing about whether the business is sound. 9 of the 9 Piotroski checks could be evaluated. How the score works
Each year scored only from its annual report as it was first filed
| Fiscal year | Health | F-Score | Scored from |
|---|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | 4.7 | 2/9 | 10-K, filed Apr 16, 2026 |
| FY2025 | 4.7 | 2/8 | 10-K, filed Apr 17, 2025 |
| FY2024 | 7.3 | 7/8 | 10-K, filed Apr 11, 2024 |
| FY2023 | 6.0 | 3/8 | 10-K, filed Apr 18, 2023 |
| FY2022 | 6.0 | 5/8 | 10-K, filed Apr 21, 2022 |
| FY2021 | 10.0 | 8/8 | 10-K, filed Apr 16, 2021 |
A later restatement never reaches back into an earlier year, and every year is scored without a share price, so the latest point can differ a little from the headline score, which uses today's price.

Every figure above comes from the FY2026 filing as filed with the SEC.
Deteriorated: −8.2 pts
41.1% to 32.9%Critical
Why it matters: What survives each sale before overheads. Falling gross margin usually means the company is discounting or its input costs rose — it is the earliest place pricing pressure shows.
Deteriorated: +85.0%
$16.4M to $30.4MCritical
Why it matters: Rising debt is not automatically bad — borrowing to build something that earns more than the interest is ordinary. It matters when it grows faster than the profit meant to service it.
Changed: -56.4%
$1.5M to $671.0KCritical
Why it matters: Neither good nor bad on its own. Heavy spending is a company building capacity or a company struggling to stand still, and the two look identical in this figure.
Improved: +15.2%
$167.2M to $192.6MSignificant
Why it matters: Sales are what everything else is built on. A fall can be lost customers, lower prices, or a business the company sold — the filing itself says which.
Deteriorated: $0.68 wider
-$1.90 to -$2.58Significant
Why it matters: Profit divided by the shares in issue at the period end, so it sits close to but not on the company's own reported figure. It can rise with no growth in profit when the company buys back stock — read it beside the share count.
Deteriorated: -28.4%
$17.5M to $12.5MSignificant
Why it matters: A falling cash pile is only a warning if the company is consuming it. Paying down debt, buying back stock and paying a dividend all reduce cash by choice.
Changed: +29.9%
$887.0K to $1.2MSignificant
Why it matters: Cash handed to shareholders. A rise can be a higher dividend or simply more shares, and a cut is a decision the company explains in its own filing — neither is rated here.
Deteriorated: -7.8%
$68.7M to $63.3MNotable
Why it matters: What is left of sales after the direct cost of producing them. It normally moves with revenue, so a move out of step with revenue is the part worth noticing.
Deteriorated: −2.5 pts
-5.5% to -8.1%Notable
Why it matters: What survives each sale after running the business. A falling operating margin beside a steady gross margin points at overheads — wages, marketing, research — rather than pricing.
Deteriorated: −2.3 pts
-10.8% to -13.1%Notable
Why it matters: What survives to the very end of each sale. Worth reading beside revenue: growing sales on a shrinking margin means the company is buying its growth.
Improved: $1.0M narrower
-$17.4M to -$16.4MNotable
Why it matters: Cash left after paying for the plant that produced it — the money genuinely available for dividends, buybacks or paying down debt. Harder to flatter than profit.
Deteriorated: +3.2%
9.5M to 9.8MNotable
Why it matters: New shares divide the same company into more pieces, so each existing holding owns slightly less of it. Often pay for staff or an acquisition rather than anything wrong.

Figures compare the two most recent annual filings — read the latest one. Moves are graded on fixed lines — 5%, 15% and 40% for amounts, and 1, 3 and 8 points for margins — as notable, significant or critical. Nothing here reads the management commentary, which is where a company explains its own numbers.

Collected by FINRA from broker-dealers twice a month. It counts positions, not intentions, and some of it is hedging rather than a directional bet against the company.
Nothing in this section is a figure this company reported about itself. These are expectations and positions — what the price implies, what analysts have published, what short sellers are betting, and what large funds held at the last count. WylthIQ reports them; it does not endorse them, does not forecast prices, and takes no view on whether any of them will turn out to be right.
Trailing P/E is not meaningful because the latest trailing earnings are zero or negative. The price-to-book and price-to-sales figures below still provide reference points.
