Squishy Dumplings Push Five Below's Traffic Higher

Dow Jones07-10

1358 ET - As squishy dumplings, palm-sized toys that are shaped like bao buns, have become the next consumerist craze, Five Below is seeing stronger traffic to stores, Oppenheimer analysts Brian Nagel and Andrew Chasanoff say in a research note. The speciality value retailer has also bolstered inventories and enhanced staffing as comparisons become more challenging in 2026, the analysts say. Five Below said in a call with the analysts that it hasn't lifted its FY26 guidance despite a strong 1Q because of uncertainty around gas prices. The company didn't see clear signals of higher gas prices weighing on consumer-spending patterns in 1Q. (grace.yoon@wsj.com)
