SHOO

Shares of footwear-related stocks are trading higher amid sympathy with Nike after the company reported better-than-expected Q4 financial results.

JPMorgan analyst Matthew R. Boss has updated quarterly models for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/retail">some department store companies</a>.
Here are his views on three retailers.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Kohl&#8217;s</h3>
Despite sales gains tied to in-store efforts like Sephora and Home Décor, Kohl&#8217;s Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) continues to face revenue declines in several segments—apparel, footwear, and legacy homes.
The analyst also flagged structural risks to Kohl's store footprint, which makes up over half of U.S. department stores. Adjusted debt/EBITDAR ended 2023 at 3.6x—that&#8217;s well above the company's ~2.5x target. Continued same-store sales pressure and margin erosion is likely pushing leverage above 4x through 2024–26, based on JPMorgan estimates.

Boss forecasts fiscal year 2025 EPS of 56 cents and fiscal year 2026 EPS of 53 cents, both above Street estimates of 41 cents and 47 cents, respectively.
The analyst maintains an Underweight rating on the stock with a price forecast of $8, unchanged.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Vail Resorts</h3>
Boss writes that Vail Resorts, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTN#NYSE">MTN</a>) may be approaching a turning point in revenue and earnings as FY25 winds down, helped by the return of former CEO Katz and unique growth drivers.
The analyst highlights the company&#8217;s premium resort portfolio, upfront revenue via its Epic Pass strategy, and a more resilient customer base of high-income, frequent skiers as key advantages.
Boss projects fiscal year 2025 adjusted EBITDA at $866 million and fiscal year 2026 at $908 million, both slightly above Street estimates.
The analyst keeps a Neutral rating on Vail Resorts, with a price forecast of $167.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Foot Locker</h3>
Boss notes that while Foot Locker, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FL#NYSE">FL</a>) has faced challenges from inconsistent same-store sales, increased promotions, and brand allocation changes—particularly with Nike, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>)—Dick's Sporting Goods (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKS#NYSE">DKS</a>) aims to revamp the business through its $2.4 billion acquisition.
The deal is intended to create a larger global retail sports platform, strengthen brand partnerships, enhance omni-channel capabilities, and unlock synergies.
Boss models fiscal year 2025 EPS for Foot Locker at $1.10, ahead of the Street's $1.00, and projects fiscal year 2026 EPS to rise to $1.65.
The analyst reiterated the Neutral rating on the stock, with a price forecast of $24.

Retail Reality Check: JPMorgan Flags Kohl's Leverage Risks, Sees Signs of Stability At Vail And Foot Locker

Telsey Advisory Group analyst Cristina Fernandez maintained Foot Locker (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FL#NYSE">FL</a>) with a Market Perform and a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FL/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">$24&nbsp;price target</a> on Thursday.
The earnings release disclosed total sales down 4.6% Y/Y to $1.79 billion versus the analyst estimate of negative 3.8% to $1.80 billion and FactSet at negative 2.1% to $1.83 billion due to store closures, the shutdown of several European countries, and an FX headwind of 10 bps, as per Fernandez.
The analyst noted that the pressure on the comp was due to soft traffic and was greater in the European business (which was down 10.2%), a deceleration from +1.9% in the fourth quarter of 2024.

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The international comp was down 8.5%. </li>
<li>In North America, Foot Locker (-0.9%) and WSS (-4.6%) were dragged down performance and more than offset growth at Champs (+0.5%) and Kids Foot Locker (+3.4%).</li>
<li>The operating margin of -0.1% reflected a Y/Y decline of ~150 bps and was in line with the analyst&#8217;s expectation. </li>
<li>A gross margin decline of 40 bps to 28.4%, better than Fernandez at 28% and FactSet at 28.1%.</li>
</ul>
The company called out merchandise margin pressure of ~10 bps, likely on ongoing promotions, and occupancy deleverage of ~30 bps on the lower sales.
Given Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods&#8217; pending acquisition, Foot Locker did not host an earnings call or update its prior financial outlook, which consisted of EPS of $1.35-$1.65, sales growth of -1.0% to 0.5%, a comp of 1.0%- 2.5%, and an operating margin of 2.6%- 3.1%.
Fernandez noted the pending acquisition of Foot Locker by Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods as a good outcome for shareholders and does not expect significant regulatory opposition.
While Foot Locker has made progress on its LaceUp plan in areas like repositioning its store base through closures, off-mall openings, and refreshes and remodels, the analyst says there is much more work to do, with 300 refreshes and 80 remodels planned for 2025 and more in 2026.
While the company invested in technology, such as new apps, and relaunched its loyalty program, Fernandez said there is room for improvement.
While investors have been skeptical of the transaction, the analyst said Foot Locker could benefit from stronger supply chain and e-commerce capabilities and an experienced leadership team with a track record of execution under Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods&#8217; ownership.
Over time, Fernandez noted Dick&#8217;s could generate greater savings through consolidation of operational functions, closing underperforming stores, divestitures of non-core banners, and adopting some of Dick&#8217;s best practices at Foot Locker, particularly as it relates to promotions, inventory management, and e-commerce. As per the analyst, these changes could allow Foot Locker to return to the 8.9% operating margin it generated in 2019 from ~2.3% in 2024.
Price Action:&nbsp;At the last check on Friday, FL shares were trading lower by 0.74% to $23.76.

Foot Locker To Rebound Under Dick's? This Analyst Says It Could

Telsey Advisory Group analyst Cristina Fernandez maintains Foot Locker (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FL#NYSE">FL</a>) with a Market Perform and maintains $24 price target.

Telsey Advisory Group Maintains Market Perform on Foot Locker, Maintains $24 Price Target

Wall Street hovered slightly higher by midday Thursday, giving up a chunk of strong overnight gains in futures markets that were triggered by a federal court ruling suspending a large portion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45672421/tariffs-blocked-by-court-but-goldman-sachs-says-trump-could-reimpose-them-within-days">of President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariffs.</a>
Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) led the market after reporting a better-than-feared quarter. The artificial intelligence leader showed resilience in the face of export restrictions. Shares rose 4.3%, ranking as the second-best performer on the S&amp;P 500 and climbing to their highest level in more than three months.
By midday: 
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The S&amp;P 500 was up 0.3% at 5,900.</li>
<li>The Nasdaq 100 gained 0.5%.</li>
<li>The Dow Jones Industrial Average traded flat.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fresh Economic Data Adds To Mixed Tone</h3>
First-quarter U.S. gross domestic product shrank 0.2%, slightly improving from the initial 0.3% estimate. Still, it marked a sharp slowdown compared to the 2.4% growth in the last quarter of 2024, reflecting slower consumer spending and higher imports ahead of the tariffs impact.
More concerning was the labor market. Initial jobless claims for the week ending May 24 jumped to 240,000, exceeding expectations and reaching their highest level in nearly four months. Continuing claims also rose to levels last seen in November 2021, indicating potential softening in employment trends.
The U.S. dollar pulled back, nearly wiping out gains from the prior two sessions as traders reassessed the outlook for interest rates. Meanwhile, Treasury yields dropped, with the 30-year note falling to 4.92% and the 10-year yield easing to 4.42%.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell met with Trump at the White House, the Fed confirmed.
The meeting focused on recent economic developments, including inflation, employment and growth. Powell reiterated that the Fed&#8217;s policy path would remain dependent on incoming data but refrained from commenting on future rate decisions.
Gold climbed 1.1% to $3,320 per ounce, buoyed by lower yields and dollar weakness. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fell below $107,000, giving up recent gains as risk appetite moderated in crypto markets.

Stocks Edge Higher After Court Stifles Trump Tariffs, Nvidia Rallies To 3-Month Highs, Bitcoin Dips Below $107K: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

Shares of Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKS#NYSE">DKS</a>) rose in early trading on Thursday despite the company reporting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45648326/dicks-sporting-goods-profit-falls-short-of-expectations-sticks-to-annual-outlook-despite-tariffs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an earnings miss for the first quarter on Wednesday</a>.
The announcement came amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
JPMorgan On Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/584847d9ee7bf6000154d225/christopher-horvers">Analyst Christopher Horvers</a> reiterated a Neutral rating, while cutting the price target from $224 to $195.
Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods' fundamentals remain strong, although the acquisition of Foot Locker Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FL#NYSE">FL</a>) continues to be "an overhang," Horvers said in a note. This was the fifth consecutive quarter in which the company generated over 4% comp, which came in at +4.8%, driven by strength in both ticket and traffic, he added.
Management maintained their full-year guide of 1%-3% comps and earnings of $13.80-$14.40 per share, citing strength in the first quarter, confidence in their strategic initiatives, and "operational strength against a complex macro environment," the analyst stated. 
The company believes it can meet its targets "regardless of the tariff situation given the strength of its assortment and business momentum, diversification efforts, strong partnerships with vendors, and DKS's strong pricing capabilities," he further wrote.

BofA Securities On Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58ad8d48b85e930001f97170/robert-ohmes">Analyst Robert Ohmes</a> maintained a Buy rating and price target of $250.
Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods reported adjusted earnings of $3.37 per share and comp of 4.5%, in-line with its preannouncement, driven by growth in ticket and traffic, Ohmes said. Gross margin came in at 36.7%, up 41 bps year-on-year, the analyst noted.
The company plans to acquire Foot Locker for $24 per share or $2.5 billion, with the deal expected to close in the back half of 2025, Ohmes stated. "DKS expects $100-125mn in cost synergies (procurement &amp; sourcing efficiencies) over the medium term and the acquisition to be accretive to F27E EPS," he wrote.
Telsey Advisory Group On Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5e301e08430dee0001c88c8d/joseph-feldman">Analyst Joseph Feldman</a> reaffirmed an Outperform rating and price target of $220.
Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods reported "impressive results again," despite the tougher consumer environment, Feldman said. Its comp remained strong, "reflecting solid demand for sporting goods and continued market share gains," he wrote.
The analyst stated that management maintained their full-year comp and earnings guidance at 1.0%-3.0% and $13.80-$14.40 per share, respectively. He added that many investors are skeptical about the Foot Locker deal, given Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods' strong position in the U.S. sporting goods market and considering the target is structurally challenged.
DKS Price Action: Shares of Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods had risen by 0.3% to $177.74 at the time of publication on Thursday.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FL#NYSE">FL</a>) when the company reports first-quarter financial results before<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings"> market open Wednesday.</a>

What Analysts Are Saying: Analysts lowered their price target on Dick's Sporting Goods stock after the Foot Locker <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45476123/analyst-sees-long-term-gain-for-dicks-with-foot-locker-despite-investor-skepticism">acquisition was announced.</a>
Telsey analyst Joseph Feldman said the retailer could see near-term pressure as investors decipher the deal rationale and execution risks.
Feldman maintained an Outperform rating, while lowering the price target from $250 to $220.
The analyst said investors appear skeptical of the deal, with Dick's already having a strong presence in the U.S. sporting goods sector.
Feldman said Foot Locker is a mall-based retailer that has structural challenges and is heavily reliant on Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>), which makes up around 60% of sales.
While Feldman is cautious in the short term, the analyst sees the potential to unlock value with the acquisition and create a more dominant retailer in the sporting goods sector.
Here are other recent<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DKS/analyst-ratings"> analyst ratings on</a> Dick's Sporting Goods and their price targets:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>DA Davidson: Maintained Buy rating with $273 price target</li>
<li>Loop Capital: Maintained Hold rating, lowered price target from $195 to $180</li>
<li>Baird: Maintained Neutral rating, lowered price target from $230 to $185</li>
<li>Barclays: Maintained Overweight rating, lowered price target from $223 to $217</li>
</ul>
Key Items to Watch: Along with the Foot Locker acquisition being the talk of the town, the other big topic analyst and investors will likely be watching will be tariffs.
Tariffs have taken center stage for many companies when they report financial results and share updated guidance, especially those in the retail sector, like Dick's Sporting Goods.
The company will likely highlight the impact tariffs could have on upcoming quarters and what steps are being taken to mitigate risk.
The first-quarter results will be important as they come after a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44246625/dicks-sporting-beats-q4-earnings-stock-falls-amid-soft-outlook">strong fourth quarter </a>that saw the company's largest sales quarter in company history and strong comparable sales growth of 6.4%.
Dick's also announced a new five-year share buyback program of up to $3 billion back in March. Details of this buyback or an increased commitment level could create new optimism and offset concerns from the acquisition and tariffs.
Another area to watch could be Dick's increased interest in trading cards, which comes after winning a $1.1 million auction for a rare one-of-one Paul Skenes baseball card. The company recently displayed the card at its House of Sport store in Pennsylvania, as reported by <a href="https://www.cllct.com/sports-collectibles/sports-cards/dick-s-sporting-goods-launches-paul-skenes-debut-patch-display-in-new-collectors-shop">Cllct</a>.
The company has plans to boost its trading cards and memorabilia selections at House of Sport stores and could use this card as a centerpiece to travel around to other locations. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/go/public-com-bonds" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a>
