  • As Whole Foods Enters Detroit, Threat of Over-Expansion Looms

    By Salvatore "Sam" Mattera - June 8, 2013 | Tickers: CROX, SBUX, WFM

    It happens. Companies over-expand. It’s far from a death sentence, but it can be painful -- at some point in the future, these corporations are forced to admit that they've invested too much, and must look to downsize.

    In the past, holding the stock of these overzealous companies hasn't been a pleasant experience.

    Whole Foods (NASDAQ: WFM) has been a tremendous growth stock in recent years. But its more »

  • Two Fad Footwear Stocks to Avoid and One to Buy

    By Leo Sun - May 14, 2013 | Tickers: CROX, DECK, SKX

    Short-term traders love fad stocks. The public’s temporary infatuation with a hot product often causes investors to turn a blind eye to basic stock fundamentals, which often causes big rallies that can translate into big profits for traders. However, long-term investors should be wary of top-heavy fad stocks, which could unexpectedly fall off a cliff once the public tires of a product, or if it becomes commoditized through imitation more »

  • New Products Bring Profits for Skechers

    By Dusan Jovanic - May 6, 2013 | Tickers: CROX, DECK, NKE, SKX

    Skechers (NYSE: SKX) is recovering from a disastrous fall the company faced in 2011. The fallout in toning shoes brought earnings into negative territory with a 20% drop in revenue. The stock price followed, falling more than 70% in the process. The situation has changed since, and Skechers has done an overhaul. The company turned for the better, with new products and new initiatives. Skechers’ stock price has increased almost more »

  • Why These Footwear Companies Caught a Cold

    By Austin Higgins - April 18, 2013 | Tickers: CROX, DECK, SHOO

    The cooler weather this spring has had an impact on a lot of different industries. This past March was the coldest in the United States since 1996. Many retailers saw a decline in sales as consumers did not want to brave out in to the cold to do any shopping. Footwear companies, in general, suffered as well. Can one soft month have a negative impact on these stocks?

  • Beware the Parabolic Chart

    By Salvatore "Sam" Mattera - April 4, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, CROX, NFLX

    Bitcoin, an online crypto currency, has attracted a lot of mainstream attention in recent days, as the price (in US dollar terms) has exploded in a short period of time. Meanwhile, the financial media grapples with the question: is the Bitcoin rally a bubble?

    The answer lies in its chart: the dangerous parabolic formation. Whenever such a chart pattern begins to appear in a particular asset, such as a stock more »

  • What You Must Know About Nike

    In the last 3 months, Nike's (NYSE: NKE) stock price has surged 12.25%. If you are excited by that, you would probably jump at this one. Nike's stock price has appreciated 73.8% in the last 5 years. And that includes the period of the Great Recession (2007-2010) as well.

  • Have Crocs Hit Their Stride?

    By Howard Rothman - March 20, 2013 | Tickers: CROX, DECK, DSW, WWW

    Although Crocs (NASDAQ: CROX) opened for business in 1999, it took about a half-dozen years before its colorful injection-molded clogs hit anyone’s radar. But when they did hit, they hit big. A highly anticipated IPO was followed by a rapid rise in stock price that topped 400% before peaking in late October 2007 — and then collapsed, just as quickly, falling by more than 98% over the next 13 months more »

  • Is There More to Reebok’s Woes?

    By Pratik Thacker - March 13, 2013 | Tickers: ADDYY, CROX, NKE

    The last twelve months have been really difficult for footwear industry players, especially Adidas (NASDAQOTH: ADDYY). Along with problems of low demand, high costs and a dull holiday season the company’s Reebok brand saw a major fraud in its Indian operations. Additionally, a 10 year American football contract came to an end. The German sportswear giant posted a dull fourth quarter mainly because of goodwill impairment charges and lower more »

  • Add Some Sole to Your Portfolio

    By John Casteele - March 12, 2013 | Tickers: CROX, NKE, SKX

    I've always been hard on the shoes that I wear. I can buy cheap shoes and wear the soles out within months, or buy expensive shoes and get almost the same result. When I find a pair of shoes that hold up against everything I put them through I tend to stay pretty loyal to that brand. For the last several years, my shoes of choice have been KangaROOS more »

  • Expect Growth From This Retailer

    By Gail P. - March 6, 2013 | Tickers: CROX, FL, FINL

    Foot Locker is getting ready to release their fourth quarter earnings on Friday and I took a look at what we might expect. Analysts are expecting quarterly and annual earnings of $0.72 and $2.56 per share respectively. I believe that estimate is too low. Here’s my thinking:

    Overall Efficiency:

    Over the past several years, Foot Locker (NYSE: FL) has become a much more efficient company. For example more »

  • An Undervalued Shoe Company

    By Timothy Green - March 5, 2013 | Tickers: CROX, DECK, NKE

    Crocs (NASDAQ: CROX) is a company which grew its revenue from just $1 million in 2003 to $847 million by 2007 on the back of an unorthodox footwear product. I'm talking about the original Crocs shoe, which looks like this:

    This fantastical growth caused the stock to skyrocket, hitting a peak in 2008 of about $72 per share. This was about 36 times 2007 earnings, suggesting that the market more »

  • Crocs' Shifting Business Model Is Beginning to See Success

    By Reza Handley-Namavar - March 4, 2013 | Tickers: CROX

    A few years ago, Crocs’ (NASDAQ: CROX) stock crashed from incredible highs as the company’s notoriety as a fad shoe, wore off. Some may wonder why the shoes even sold at all, but they did and in large numbers. With 2008, the company saw its fortunes collapse considerably, taking a loss in 2008. Yet, from this seeming calamity emerged a stronger, more diversified company that has made the transition more »
