Spark’s Take on WWD Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, WWD is a Outperform.
The score is driven primarily by strong financial performance (improving margins, solid growth, and a currently conservative balance sheet) and a constructive earnings update with raised guidance. Technicals support a continued uptrend, but the overall rating is capped by a high valuation (P/E ~44) and some near-term execution/cash-flow headwinds from inventory and supply-chain constraints.
