Needham analyst Tom Nikic <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NKE/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">reiterated a Buy rating </a>on the shares of Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) with a price forecast of $75.00.
According to the analyst, monitoring collectible sneaker trends is a way to gauge broader sneaker demand. High-demand releases, those selling out quickly at launch and fetching premiums on resale sites like StockX and GOAT often indicate a strong market.
Tariffs are expected to<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44741043/nike-stock-tumbles-as-us-china-trade-war-intensifies-what-you-need-to-know" rel="noreferrer noopener"> heavily influence the footwear sector</a> in the short term, said the analyst. With nearly all U.S. footwear being imported, current tariffs 145% on Chinese goods and 10% elsewhere pose a significant threat to profit margins.

As a result, stock movements are likely to be driven more by evolving tariff news than business fundamentals, creating uncertainty for investors, noted the analyst.
Nike has launched the ReactX Rejuven8, a molded rubber slip-on that resembles Crocs. The shoe, featuring perforations on the upper, sold out quickly in limited quantities and is gaining traction on social media.
While it's early, the analyst suggests that if the buzz continues, the model could pose competitive pressure for Crocs Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CROX#NASDAQ">CROX</a>).
Nike received strong consumer response to its Pegasus Premium running shoe, with successful launches in both January and March.
This momentum could indicate early signs of a rebound in Nike's running category.
While it's too soon to say Nike is impacting rivals like Hoka and On Holding AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONON#NYSE">ONON</a>), the analyst suggests it's a space worth watching.
Brand-level analysis suggests that Nike could see a year-over-year uptick in high-heat sneaker releases, partly due to last April's underwhelming Jordan lineup.
Price Action: NKE shares traded lower by 0.33% at $54.18 at last check Friday.

What 8 Analyst Ratings Have To Say About Crocs

Loop Capital analyst Laura Champine upgrades Crocs (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CROX#NASDAQ">CROX</a>) from Hold to Buy and maintains the price target from $110 to $110.

Loop Capital Upgrades Crocs to Buy, Maintains Price Target to $110

BofA Securities analyst Christopher Nardone reiterated a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CROX/analyst-ratings">Buy rating</a> on the shares of footwear company Crocs Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CROX#NASDAQ">CROX</a>) with a price forecast of $153.
The analyst still believes management can meet its goal of modestly growing Crocs N.A. sales in 2025. Key factors include management's positive outlook on a strong wholesale order book for the next six months, along with the analyst&#8217;s optimistic view of upcoming product innovations, which have already received favorable feedback from wholesale partners.
These innovations include the InMotion clog (currently available at a $60 price point), global and product expansions of popular sandal styles like the Getaway, Miami, and Brooklyn, a greater focus on slippers (primarily in the second half of the year), and continued growth in Jibbitz and collaborations (with a full pipeline for this year).
For N.A. sales growth this year, the analyst anticipates a decline in first-quarter across both channels, followed by a rebound in second-quarter. 
First-quarter will face challenges from the leap year, Easter shifting to second-quarter, and a tougher wholesale comparison, with brick-and-mortar stores showing strong double-digit growth in first-quarter 2024, said the analyst.
International sales will remain the primary driver of overall brand growth for Crocs in 2025 and beyond, the analyst noted.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Crocs&#8217; Growth Markets </h2>
According to the analyst, the biggest growth markets for Crocs this year, in terms of dollar value, are expected to be China, India, and Western Europe, including the UK, Germany, and France.
In 2024, India posed a challenge for the company due to regulatory hurdles that hindered supply from meeting demand. However, as 2025 progresses, the company anticipates an improvement in the supply situation. 
With four factories in India, up from three last year, Crocs plans to scale up production and increase output by the end of the year. This expansion will enable quicker distribution of sandals in India, a key move given the strong demand for sandals in the market.
Heydude is still in the early stages of recovery. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43691979/crocs-smashes-q4-earnings-expectations-amid-strong-china-growth-stock-jumps">Fourth-quarter progress</a> was promising, with better-than-expected digital performance and a return to positive DTC growth, the analyst said.
The analyst expects gross margins in 2025 to be similar to last year. But there may be a slight decline, according to official guidance.
Management plans to increase marketing spending to 10% of sales in 2025, up from 9% in 2024. This includes more investment in both brands, with Heydude focusing on brand awareness. 
The analyst is encouraged by the recent partnerships, including Sydney Sweeney, Jelly Roll, and Travis Hunter. Crocs will also boost influencer spending and maintain focus on Tier-1 markets.
HeyDude&#8217;s continued progress will drive multiple growth, the analyst added. Also, the company&#8217;s cash flow potential is undervalued.
Price Action: Crocs shares are trading higher by 0.25% at $109.15 at the last check Friday.

<h3>Unmasking the Significance of Insider Transactions</h3>
While insider transactions provide valuable information, they should be part of a broader analysis in making investment decisions.
In the realm of legality, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Notably, when a company insider makes a new purchase, it is considered an indicator of their positive expectations for the stock.
Conversely, insider sells may not necessarily signal a bearish stance on the stock and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Understanding Crucial Transaction Codes</h3>
Navigating through the landscape of transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often prioritize those unfolding in the open market, precisely detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.
