Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Skechers U.S.A. stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "After posting earnings beat in first-quarter 2017, Skechers succumbed to a negative earnings surprise in the second quarter. Although the company's top line improved, it failed to act as a savior for the bottom line that fell 20.8% due to increased operating expenses and higher effective tax rate. Investors remain apprehensive about Skechers’ bottom line that has been declining for five straight quarters and also missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate four times in the said period. Further, soft third quarter earnings projection also raises concern. On the contrary, net sales beat the consensus mark for the third quarter in row and management also provided an encouraging outlook for the same. We believe greater emphasis on new line of products, cost containment efforts, inventory management and global distribution platform may help lift the stock’s performance that has underperformed the industry in the past three months."

• 2. Cowen and Company analysts commented, "We are upgrading SKX to Outperform and raising our price target to $35 from $26, as international wholesale growth should produce margin expansion and acceleration in EPS and free cash flow growth. Valuation looks attractive given above sector-avg. sales and EPS CAGRs through 2019, improving ROIC, and potential for ~ $1B in cash on the balance sheet." (3/24/2017)
