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. 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)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Wolverine has lagged the industry in the past six months. The company’s top line has been declining due to store closures and portfolio changes made earlier in 2017. Going ahead, Management expects first-quarter 2019 performance to be impaired by challenges in the Saucony business, soft demand for Wolverine Leathers, industry bankruptcies as well as reduced demand from few international partners. Also, the company is exposed to significant currency risks. On the flip side, Wolverine’s bottom line record is a breather. The company’s earnings surpassed the consensus mark and surged 26.8% in the fourth quarter of 2018. Further, it is progressing well with the GLOBAL GROWTH AGENDA, which focuses on empowering brands, augmenting the digital platform and growing internationally." (4/22/2019)
