Steven Madden Power Play: Shifting Production Out of China to Slash Tariffs & Speed Delivery! 

Steve Madden Limited concluded its first quarter of 2025 with better-than-expected earnings, although revenue growth was modest at 0.2% compared to the previous year, reaching $553.5 million. Wholesale revenue mirrored this increase, with the footwear segment contributing $296.1 million and accessories and apparel contributing $143.2 million, both slightly up from the previous period. Interestingly, wholesale gains were driven primarily by branded business while private labels saw declines. The company’s direct-to-consumer segment experienced a slight revenue decline of 0.2%, with digital sales showing growth but offset by decreased performance in brick-and-mortar stores.
