What are Wall Street analysts saying about Wolverine World Wide stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Wolverine World Wide stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Shares of Wolverine have risen and outpaced the industry in the past three months. The stock got boost following third-quarter 2019 results, wherein revenues and earnings grew year over year. While the top line met the Zacks Consensus Estimate, the bottom line beat the same for the seventh quarter in row. Also, management revised full-year earnings projection but retained revenue view. Notably, Wolverine is gaining from advancements in its e-commerce business, backed by strong brands like Sperry, Saucony and Wolverine. Moreover, it is on track with the global growth agenda, wherein it plans to make investments of nearly $38 million in 2019. However, stiff competition, unfavorable currency fluctuations and tariff related woes cannot be ignored. In fact, management envisions new tariffs to hurt full year earnings by 3 cents." (12/23/2019)
- 2. Pivotal Research analysts commented, "We are modeling 2Q sales at the low end of guidance, below consensus, and EPS in line with guidance/consensus. We believe 2Q was a challenging backdrop for WWW, and we suspect the company suffered from weak reorders in the quarter. We are also modeling FY19 sales at the low end of guidance, below consensus, and EPS at the midpoint of guidance and in line with consensus. At best, we believe WWW will reiterate its FY19 guidance. The guidance implies 2H sales growth of 4%-8%, with MTeens%, respectively. We don’t doubt that backlog is healthy for these brands, but WWW is up against tough 4Q comparisons for Merrell (+DD% ly), Sperry (+HSD% ly) and boots in general. We lack confidence in WWW’s ability to lap these tough comparisons, as we believe that 4Q18 results were aided by unusually favorable weather last year." (8/2/2019)
