Quality

57

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 57 of 100, a middle-of-the-universe reading. The measurements behind it are mixed.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

Deteriorating

42

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Fundamental Momentum research reads 42 of 100. Stored measurements classify recent reported fundamentals as deteriorating. This describes reported financial change already disclosed, with no forward-looking claim.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Strong

74

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Capital Returns research reads 74 of 100, recorded as strong. Stored records show 13 consecutive years of dividend payments. Share count has been reduced at about 2.5% a year in the stored window.

Capital Returns research measures how a company has actually returned cash to shareholders: dividend record, buyback effectiveness, dilution control and how those payments were funded.

What this company does

Edward M. Knabusch and Edwin J. Shoemaker started Floral City Furniture in 1927, and in 1928 the newly formed company introduced its first recliner. In 1941, we were incorporated in the state of Michigan as La-Z-Boy Chair Company, and in 1996 we changed our name to La-Z-Boy Incorporated. Today, our La-Z-Boy brand is one of the most recognized brands in the furniture industry.

We are the leading global producer of reclining chairs and one of the largest manufacturers/distributors of residential furniture in the United States . The La-Z-Boy Stores retail network is the second largest retailer of single-branded furniture in the United States . We manufacture, market, import, export, distribute and retail upholstery furniture products under the La-Z-Boy , England, and Joybird tradenames. In addition, we import, distribute and retail accessories and casegoods (wood) furniture products under the Hammary and Joybird tradenames. During fiscal 2026, we also imported, distributed, and retailed accessories and casegoods (wood) furniture products under the Kincaid and American Drew tradenames, and following the completion of the sale of certain assets of the Kincaid and American Drew wholesale businesses on May 29, 2026, we continue to retail such products.
