Shoe Carnival Inc

Shoe Carnival, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCVL#NASDAQ">SCVL</a>) on Friday reported first-quarter adjusted earnings per share of 49 cents, beating the analyst <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45689649/shoe-carnival-reports-first-quarter-fiscal-2025-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimate of 30 cents.</a>
On a GAAP basis, Shoe Carnival registered net income per diluted share of 34 cents, compared with 63 cents a year ago.
The company estimates that first-quarter 2025 EPS was reduced by about 15 cents due to costs tied to its rebanner strategy, including store closures, construction, grand reopening delays, and customer acquisition expenses.

The company said Shoe Station has been the fastest-growing retailer in its sector over the past two years, while Shoe Carnival and the broader family footwear industry have declined. Shoe Carnival aims to leverage this success by expanding Shoe Station from a Southeast leader to a national presence.
They tested rebannering 10 stores in FY2024 and converted 24 more in Q1 2025. Shoe Carnival is now accelerating this strategy, planning to have approximately 120 stores (28% of its fleet) operating as Shoe Station by the end of FY2025, with 51 additional conversions scheduled throughout the remainder of the year, including expansion into new markets.
Quarterly sales of $277.71 million (down 7.5% year over year) missed the Street view of $323.64 million. Comparable stores net sales declined 8.1 percent, of which the company estimates approximately 1 percent was due to lost sales as impacted by the rebanner strategy.
Shoe Carnival&#8217;s President and CEO, Mark Worden, reported strong first-quarter results, with profits exceeding expectations by about 10% despite a challenging economic and retail climate.
He highlighted the success of the Shoe Station growth strategy, which is delivering industry-leading sales growth and margin improvements across various markets, outperforming both Shoe Carnival and general industry trends.
Due to this success, the company is accelerating its &#8220;rebanner initiative,&#8221; now aiming for Shoe Station to represent over 80% of its store fleet by March 2027, a significant increase from the previous 51% target, he said.
This expansion is being funded by the company&#8217;s strong financial position, characterized by growing cash reserves and no debt, marking a pivotal shift from a traditional family footwear retailer to a premium, brand-focused national leader, Worden said.
The first quarter 2025 gross profit margin was 34.5%, down from 35.6% in the first quarter of 2024.&nbsp;
Shoe Carnival said it invested $16.8 million in additional merchandise inventory compared to the year-ago period. Additional inventory purchases were made in the quarter before the tariff increases were announced on April 2.
As of May 3, the company had 429 stores, with 334 Shoe Carnival stores, 67 Shoe Station stores, and 28 Rogan&#8217;s stores. The Shoe Station store count has more than doubled since the end of the first quarter 2024.
Going ahead, the company said it&nbsp;is accelerating its rebanner strategy and now expects approximately 120 stores, or 28% of the store fleet, to operate as a Shoe Station store by the end of Fiscal 2025.&nbsp;
Shoe Carnival reaffirmed its FY2025 GAAP EPS outlook of $1.60 to $2.10, compared to the $1.94 estimate. The company also maintained its FY2025 sales guidance of $1.15 billion to $1.23 billion, compared with the $1.19 billion consensus.
Price Action: SCVL shares are trading higher by 4.77% to $19.32 at last check Friday.

Insights From Analysts:
According to Adam Turnquist, the chief technical strategist for LPL Financial, &#8220;the added wrinkle&#8221; to trade policy introduces more uncertainty about where the effective U.S. tariff rate will ultimately land and likely &#8220;delays the timeline for clarity.&#8221;
However, he added that &#8220;the market hates uncertainty,&#8221; and cited that the trade uncertainty index peaked as the market bottomed last month. &#8220;Importantly, high levels of trade policy uncertainty tend to correlate with high implied volatility, suggesting investors should expect a bumpier path for stocks until there is more clarity on trade,&#8221; he said.
Turnquist believes that &#8220;Higher trade policy uncertainty also tends to coincide with increased implied volatility, so investors should expect elevated turbulence until there is greater clarity on trade.&#8221;
According to Ed Yardeni, the U.S. operates as a federal republic, distinct from a pure democracy where majority rule is absolute. Yardeni explains that the nation&#8217;s constitutional framework, largely conceived by lawyerly Founding Fathers, was deliberately crafted with checks and balances.
This system aims to prevent the concentration of political power and to safeguard the rights of minority parties from potential &#8220;abuses by the majority as well as by those in power.&#8221; He highlights that the design of the three branches of government inherently serves to &#8220;frustrate the ambitions of the powerful on a regular basis.&#8221;
Thus, according to him, a &#8220;gridlock&#8221; situation with Trump&#8217;s tariffs will likely be good for the markets.
&#8220;In other words, gridlock is a feature, rather than a bug, of the American constitutional system. Gridlock has generally been viewed as bullish by stock and bond investors. The companies they invest in tend to do best when the government is the least meddlesome in their businesses,&#8221; he said.

Insights Ahead: Shoe Carnival's Quarterly Earnings

Markets have come close to returning to February highs after China and the U.S. reduced their tariffs. While markets are still shaky, with a Treasury bond auction on Tuesday sending stocks down, most of the tariff drama seems to be over for now.
But, while markets as a whole have recovered and earnings are upbeat, some undervalued companies still have not participated in the rebound.
That&#8217;s a huge buying opportunity.
Today, we'll look at five undervalued stocks in tariff-stricken industries that could see new life in the second half of 2025. Each of these stocks has at least a 90 Benzinga Edge Value score and a technical or fundamental catalyst indicating that a potential uptrend is forming.

Benzinga Edge Value Score: 94.40
KB Home Inc.  (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KBH#NYSE">KBH</a>) builds single-family homes, townhomes, and condos across the southern and western parts of the United States. The company has a $3.8 billion market cap and reported sales over $2.85 billion in the last 12 months. Homebuilders have been under siege for two years now in the face of several headwinds: persistently high mortgage rates, increasing materials costs, tariffs on many of those same materials, and immigration crackdowns cutting into the construction labor force. But now that tariffs have been slashed and the Trump administration seems more focused on a tax cut extension, homebuilders like KB Homes could finally see some relief. 
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdnq69l4211aQFv0LYUvVH27eio2kDHWxR3SA3slIy8lV-f1qh0LGnArR4pg_9Ns-WqNVNhUC2RVfMjwh_Egi2Bu3EI8kcawnNm0oxXt_0AN74PdNFalJ2p9v_1VPB7z7V7kI6NpA?key=05JYZ0nbTmdWyX2hLdJTgA" alt="" /></figure>
KBH was the rare homebuilder that survived the 2022 bear market with momentum. The stock shot from $25.51 to a new all-time high above $85 in July 2024, the first time it closed over $85 since before the Great Recession of 2005. But momentum faded last fall, and the stock tumbled from $85 to $50 in just five months. However, this selloff might reveal a very undervalued stock: KBH trades at just 7.2 times forward earnings with a 0.56 Price-to-Sales (P/S) ratio and 0.94 Price-to-Book (P/B) value. The stock also has technical tailwinds thanks to an emerging support level and bullish movement on the MACD, which could indicate the downtrend is shifting upward.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shoe Carnival Inc.&nbsp;</h2>
Benzinga Edge Value Score: 94.37
Apparel is another industry suffering outsized pain from tariffs, especially in the footwear department. Companies like Nike and Foot Locker have suffered sustained drawdowns, many of which started long before the harshest tariffs were implemented earlier this year. Shoe Carnival (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCVL#NASDAQ">SCVL</a>) is a smaller firm than these giants, but they sell Nike, Adidas, Sketchers, Converse, and HEYDUDE-brand shoes at brick-and-mortar family-oriented outlets. 
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcOtXdVF9Ll8R4O1__yssP5fgq_n2v6DlRqxyQWRGvb_gf87zCG8KdcFyiIszt9oq5Pxt_Avksy4bZmZIkqF-1Mir_YRYnVntqs24FFEHarqksTWyGO_8ejyFzaRd9Vwjg29UfkAA?key=05JYZ0nbTmdWyX2hLdJTgA" alt="" /></figure>
Despite tariff pressure, Shoe Carnival has maintained profit margins above 6%. The stock trades at 10 times forward earnings with a 0.46 P/S ratio and 0.84 P/B value and pays a 2.99% dividend yield. Shares are down more than 35% year-to-date (YTD), but the stock has staged a small rally in the last month. SCVL was up 17% the previous month, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) showed a breakout above a multi-month trading range.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Danaos Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAC#NYSE">DAC</a>)</h2>
Benzinga Edge Value Score: 95.33
Danaos Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAC#NYSE">DAC</a>) is an international bulk shipper with nearly 70 container ships, operating primarily in Asia and Europe. The company has a $1.6 billion market cap and posted over $1 billion in sales over the last year. Shipping companies were treading water in the sessions following the reciprocal tariff announcement, but rescinding those import fees has sent the stock careening toward new all-time highs.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcYBQP9UIHRwMYq2zfEQKUWzMOybRoDN_7db7Ov69Imb7vBWXoHoDBioecJhfwq1BZY30uFBxPbE8r9X3R5NzC58qaisx60U_nacS0am5ydpl8W2vO5XC_SuaC6DQ_BYgyEunUeeA?key=05JYZ0nbTmdWyX2hLdJTgA" alt="" /></figure>
Danaos reported earnings on May 13, and while the EPS figure was a miss, the company posted a surprise revenue beat, surpassing analysts' expectations by 4.7%. This report spurred researchers at Jeffries to reiterate the stock as a Buy and bump their price target to $105, indicating an upside potential of nearly 24%. The stock trades at just 3.2 times forward earnings, and its 46% profit margins are among the best numbers in the marine shipping industry. Shares are also riding a new support level above the 14-day exponential moving average (EMA), indicating the breakout may have more upward momentum ahead.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">G-III Apparel Group Ltd.&nbsp;</h2>
Benzinga Edge Value Score: 95.62
Another apparel company on the verge of a potential breakout is G-III Apparel Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIII#NYSE">GIII</a>), which manufactures licensed brands like DKNY, Tommy Hilfiger, Kenneth Cole, Dockers, and more alongside its own in-house brands and private labels. G-III Apparel has more than $3 billion in annual global sales, and its daily stock chart shows signs of a breakout similar to DAC&#8217;s.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeeiGthQN-5WeqcmH9jyWFcXSqPvQt4vw2BpEGYRjfPTd2v5HjW11imebFIsPTiG1w6dSbJBgPIii-baUKgMIqNqfTNU03BHMpuMzgOk2FCctCZQ6QrX7lusLn42Ef6kIR1eH1oXg?key=05JYZ0nbTmdWyX2hLdJTgA" alt="" /></figure>
The stock's 14-day EMA recently crossed the 21-day EMA, a bullish signal that now sees the 14-day EMA acting as support as shares break out above their pre-Liberation Day high water mark. The RSI also remains under 70, showing the stock has not yet reached overbought levels. GIII expects a net sales boost of more than 6% in the upcoming quarter, and the stock trades at just 6.7 times earnings with a 0.39 P/S ratio and 0.17 debt/equity ratio.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ASE Technology Holdings Co.&nbsp;</h2>
Benzinga Edge Value Score: 90.05
Tech is one sector that hasn't been struggling as much as the broader market, but some semiconductor companies are still undervalued, and ASE Technology Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASX#NYSE">ASX</a>) has the signs of a stock ready to break higher. ASE tests and packages semiconductors for U.S., Asian and European firms and provides real estate and lab equipment for plants and warehouses.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdA4ECj1L7-wOQBK8ue731i8fuRgbENlquwqcKkeI9hX8nqKo0cYFQ96drdHc-lMpXBl02H5msRxC1CMxHmqhNGeBM_x_WgfFGY2BRshq_QSDrgFRvcC5CPwVDQ0eMPtC7u2v4P9A?key=05JYZ0nbTmdWyX2hLdJTgA" alt="" /></figure>
ASE shares experienced a 14-day and 21-day EMA cross, which provided bullish momentum and sent the stock above its pre-tariff announcement levels. The stock pulled back recently but is now approaching the 14-day EMA, which has been acting as support over the last few weeks. The stock has a 19.7 P/E ratio but trades at just 11.6 times forward earnings, with annual sales eclipsing $18 billion. The company also expects EPS growth of over 40% this year, which could further fuel this rally.

Shares of retail stocks are trading higher after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. A reduction in tariffs could alleviate supply chain uncertainty and macroeconomic uncertainty and help boost consumer sentiment.

Shoe Carnival Increased Quarterly Cash Dividend From $0.135 To $0.15

Insider activity is a little lower than normal for this time of year. We usually see a flurry of buying near the end of the year as insiders bulk up their holdings in anticipation of strong results over the next year. This has not happened this year.
The ratio of insider selling to insider buying is at very high levels, as insider selling has been somewhat elevated. Although we rarely take signals from individual insider sales, the buying and selling activity ratio can usually be informative. At the moment, it is at a level that has often led to technical conditions I like to call &#8220;Market Fall Down, Go Boom.&#8221; That is not surprising given the strong rally this year encouraging insiders to take some profits.
That does not mean stocks will fall tomorrow. It means that caution and common sense should be your guide as you enter 2025.
While far more insiders have been selling than buying the past few weeks, some buying comes from the C-Suite that is worth discussing. The Chairman of Shoe Carnival (Ticker: SCVL), Warren Weaver, and his wife made a huge purchase of stock this past week, adding almost $10 million worth of stock to their already large holdings. The happy couple now owns over 4 million shares, or about 15% of the footwear retailer.
The retailer has been around since 1978 and is known for its entertaining shopping experience that includes interactive games that allow shoppers to win discounts and merchandise as prizes. The chain has grown to more than 370 stores across the United States and offers most major brands of athletic and casual shoes.
The market does not love the company right now as it fell short of revenue expectations, but this appears to be an overreaction. Although the results were impacted by the hurricanes that hit the southeastern United States and the slow back-to-school season, it was still able to meet Wall Street&#8217;s profit expectations. The stock is trading at low valuations of sales and profits despite strong growth expectations over the next several years.
In addition to the buying from the Chairman, the board decided to take advantage of the weakness in the stock as well. The company recently announced a $50 million stock buyback plan.
The CEO and the Chief Technical Officer at LendingTree (Ticker: TREE) have both made six-figure open-market stock purchases this month. LendingTree is a game-changer in the world of personal finance. Founded in 1996, this online platform revolutionized the way borrowers connect with lenders. Instead of going door-to-door or settling for whatever terms your local bank offers, LendingTree puts the power back in the hands of consumers. It&#8217;s a marketplace where you can shop for everything from personal loans and mortgages to credit cards and student loans without leaving your couch.
Here&#8217;s the beauty of their model: it&#8217;s all about choice and competition. LendingTree partners with a network of banks, credit unions, and alternative lenders to make them fight for your business. That means better rates, better terms, and much less hassle. And the best part? It&#8217;s free for consumers. The company makes money by charging lenders for access to this steady stream of motivated borrowers.
LendingTree doesn&#8217;t just stop at matchmaking. They offer calculators, tools, and financial education resources to ensure you&#8217;re making smart decisions with your money. Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, they&#8217;ve grown into one of the most trusted names in fintech by keeping their focus on simplicity, transparency, and, most importantly, the needs of the consumer.
The stock has pulled back well off the 52-week highs, but the people in the company appear quite confident the shares will resume their winning ways in 2025.
Both the CEO and CFO have taken advantage of the recent weakness in shares of Avadel Pharmaceuticals (Ticker: AVDL). Avadel Pharmaceuticals is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative products that address unmet medical needs. The company operates primarily in central nervous system (CNS) disorders and rare diseases. Avadel is best known for its flagship product, LUMRYZ, a once-nightly sodium oxybate formulation designed to treat excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and cataplexy in adults with narcolepsy.
Headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, Avadel leverages its proprietary drug delivery technologies to enhance existing therapies. These technologies aim to improve the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and patient experience of medications, particularly in therapeutic areas where frequent dosing regimens or poor patient adherence are barriers to optimal care.
A wave of bad news including the resignation of the Chief Commercial Officer has sent the shares tumbling toward the 52-week low. The two top executives and at least one director are confident that the shares will recover from the decline and move higher.
There are some solid reasons to think they are correct. Avadel Pharmaceuticals is starting to hit its stride, and the numbers from the third quarter of 2024 tell the story. This company is laser-focused on LUMRYZ, and it&#8217;s paying off. With $50 million in net product revenue for the quarter, a massive leap from just $7 million in the same period last year, Avadel has captured the market&#8217;s attention.
There&#8217;s also been a major legal win. Jazz Pharmaceuticals tried to throw a wrench into the works, suing the FDA over its approval of LUMRYZ, but the U.S. District Court sided with Avadel. The approval stands, and the FDA&#8217;s determination that LUMRYZ is clinically superior to Jazz&#8217;s twice-nightly products remains intact. Add in Orphan Drug Exclusivity until 2031, and you&#8217;ve got a strong moat around this revenue stream.
Financially, the story keeps improving. Gross profit surged to $43.9 million from $6.9 million last year. Avadel ended the quarter with $65.8 million in cash, and while it opted not to draw on additional financing, its balance sheet still looks solid.
The growth trajectory is clear, and with Orphan Drug Exclusivity providing long-term protection, Avadel is building a business with real staying power. The CEO and CFO appear to think so and are backing their conviction with cash.
