Upon marking back-to-back quarters of revenue growth in its fiscal Q2 2026, Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. announced it will rebrand as Neighborhood Intelligence, moving to Nashville and entering the Nasdaq.
The company said it will operate under its new ticker NXH on the Nasdaq starting Aug. 17. It will continue to operate as Bed Bath & Beyond on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) until then, it said.
As the new corporate entity Neighborhood Intelligence, the company plans to focus on three pillars: omnichannel retail, home services and home ownership.
Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. owns:
- Bed Bath & Beyond
- Buy Buy Baby
- Overstock
- The Container Store
- Kirkland’s and Kirkland’s Home brands
- Elfa
- SFV Services
- Closet Works
- Lumber Liquidators
- Cabinets To Go
- A blockchain asset portfolio including tZero and GrainChain
Marcus Lemonis, executive chairman and CEO of Bed Bath & Beyond, wrote a letter to shareholders dated Aug. 4. In it, he explained the rationale behind the rebrand to Neighborhood Intelligence.
“Neighborhood Intelligence is much more than our new corporate identity, because it encompasses the data we collect, the technology we build, the intelligence we apply, the workflows we redesign, the trusted brands we operate, the financial infrastructure we continue to expand, the blockchain and tokenization capabilities we believe will become increasingly important to the future of ownership, and, most importantly, the people who bring all of those capabilities together every day,” Lemonis wrote.
Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. is No. 99 in the Top 1000 Database. The database tracks North America’s largest online retailers, ranking them by annual ecommerce sales and more.
Why Bed Bath & Beyond is rebranding to Neighborhood Intelligence
“Internally, it helps us eliminate unnecessary infrastructure, simplify workflows, improve decision-making, modernize operations, and operate more efficiently,” Lemonis wrote in his letter to shareholders. “Externally, it connects products, services, financing, information, and expertise into a seamless experience that helps make homeownership simpler, more transparent, and more affordable.”
Lemonis said every interaction with customers is an opportunity to listen. Each conversation, purchase, installation, mortgage and more connect to form insights that Neighborhood Intelligence can use, he explained in the letter.
He said no relationship produces more of those insights than retail.
“Our stores, websites, marketplaces, and brands help millions of families create homes they love while earning trust through every interaction,” Lemonis wrote. “And they are where we keep sharpening merchandising, product development, sourcing, planning, allocation, and the customer experience.”
Although Bed Bath & Beyond remains one of the company’s most recognized consumer brands, he said, the parent company’s new form “better reflects the breadth of capabilities that now exist across the enterprise.”
Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. revenue in Q2 2026
In its fiscal Q2 2026, which ended June 30, Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. generated $361 million in net revenue. That was a 28% year-over-year increase. It also was the company’s second straight quarter of year-over-year revenue growth after 19 straight quarters of declines.
On the company’s Q2 earnings call, Lemonis said two quarters are not a victory and that “the work is far from finished. What matters is that the operating model is now producing measurable evidence that it is working.”
The retailer’s number of active customers increased 47% year over year to 6.4 million. Bed Bath & Beyond said it delivered 2.8 million orders in Q2, a 117% year-over-year increase.
Gross profit was $97 million, accounting for 26.8% of Bed Bath & Beyond’s net revenue in Q2.
Sales and marketing expenses reached $43 million, or 11.9% of net revenue. Meanwhile, technology and general and administrative expenses totaled $82 million. That compared to $37 million the year before. The company attributed that to its expanded physical retail footprint.
Lemonis said Overstock has seen “incremental and meaningful growth” over the past year.
Chief financial officer Brian LaRose said the merger with The Brand House Collective largely drove revenue and order growth. However, lower average order value (AOV) partially offset that growth, LaRose said.
The company anticipates revenue between $505 million and $525 million during its fiscal Q3.
