Sam Poser has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors impacting Crocs’ current market position. The company faces challenges in stabilizing its wholesale operations in North America, which remain unresolved and could affect its long-term strategy. Additionally, inconsistent promotional activities during key shopping periods like Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday have raised concerns about Crocs’ ability to maintain its brand equity and pricing integrity.
Moreover, the promotional tactics employed for the HEYDUDE brand, which involved offering discounts to wholesale customers, suggest that sales were driven by price reductions rather than organic demand. This approach might undermine the brand’s perceived value, as indicated by feedback from a respected retailer who noted that HEYDUDE products are not typically purchased at full price. These factors contribute to the cautious outlook and justify the Hold rating, as the path to resolving these issues remains uncertain.
In another report released today, Barclays also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $86.00 price target.
