Caleres Continues To Prove Why The Shoe Is On The Right Foot

Summary Caleres, Inc. delivered a strong Q2, with adjusted EPS beating forecasts despite revenue missing estimates by $7 million. CAL's profitability surged, aided by one-time tariff refunds, but adjusted EPS rose to $0.47, exceeding consensus by $0.10. Famous Footwear faces declining comps and store count, yet overall store growth and a recent acquisition offset these headwinds. CAL remains a Buy due to compelling valuation, improving profitability, and a robust net cash position of $50.9 million. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Caleres: Comparables Still Down And It Is Levering Up On Acquisitions, Risky

Summary Caleres, Inc.'s comparable sales and margins continue to deteriorate, with Brand Portfolio sales down 7% and Famous Footwear sales down 3% in 4Q24. The acquisition of Stuart Weitzman probably raises debt by 50%, adding pressure on margins and requiring significant investment to turn around an unprofitable brand. Despite a low trading multiple, future EPS is expected to be lower due to margin compression and increased leverage, making the stock unattractive. Valuation optics are deceiving; unless fundamentals improve, I maintain my Hold rating as the business is in decline. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Caleres: A Surprising And Interesting Move For Stuart Weitzman

Summary Caleres shares rose in February following a surprising acquisition deal after recent guidance cuts and tough market conditions. The company acquired Stuart Weitzman for $105 million, a significant discount from its previous $500 million-plus valuation attached by Tapestry a decade ago. The deal could boost sales by nearly 10%, but Stuart Weitzman is currently unprofitable, increasing near-term leverage and uncertainty. I'm intrigued by the dirt-cheap valuation and potential of the deal, but await more details before committing. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Caleres: Margins Are Returning To The Mean As Warned, Still A Hold

Summary Caleres, Inc.'s Q3 2024 results showed revenue growth in the retail and wholesale sectors, but missed consensus and lowered guidance, causing a 20% stock drop. Margins remain resilient but are deteriorating, with further declines expected in Q4 due to increased promotions to clear inventories. Guidance was reduced for the second time, with EPS now at $3.5, reflecting lower sales growth and higher discounting pressures. Despite CAL stock's decline, I maintain a Hold rating, awaiting more attractive levels, potentially below $20, for a compelling investment opportunity. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
