Sam Poser has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Wolverine World Wide’s strong performance and promising future prospects. The company’s second-quarter results for 2025 significantly surpassed both guidance and consensus estimates, with notable revenue growth in its Saucony and Merrell brands. This growth is attributed to more attractive product offerings and a strategic shift towards a pull model, which is expected to enhance sales and margin growth in the long term.
Furthermore, Wolverine World Wide’s management is focusing on long-term brand integrity by emphasizing sell-through rates over short-term sales gains. Despite not reinstating full-year guidance for 2025, the company provided conservative guidance for the third quarter, reflecting confidence in ongoing trends. Additionally, management is actively working to mitigate tariff-related headwinds through various strategies, including optimizing the factory base and adjusting pricing. These efforts, along with a strong gross margin performance in the second quarter, underpin Sam Poser’s optimistic outlook and Buy rating for the stock.
In another report released today, Stifel Nicolaus also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $30.00 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 31 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is negative on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders selling their shares of WWW in relation to earlier this year.
