Tom Nikic has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors surrounding Foot Locker’s current situation. The company’s recent Q1 earnings report did not meet expectations, with declining comparable sales across various segments and regions. This underperformance has led to a downward revision in the earnings per share forecasts for fiscal years 2025 and 2026.
Additionally, the stock is currently trading near the proposed acquisition price by DKS, which diminishes the impact of fundamental performance on its valuation. Given these circumstances, the earnings report is considered a non-event, and the Hold rating reflects the view that there is limited upside potential at this time.
In another report released today, Telsey Advisory also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $24.00 price target.
