On May 23, Birkenstock rose 5.44% in regular trading, trading at $41.81/share, with trading volume of $86.24 million.
The rally extends gains from earlier this week after Birkenstock announced it signed a $250 million accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement with Goldman Sachs. The repurchase program aims to capitalize on what management views as a significant disconnect between the company's stock price and its strong fundamentals. Management believes the market valuation fails to fully reflect the company's intrinsic value and long-term growth potential.
The buyback announcement came after Birkenstock shares had suffered a sharp selloff due to slowing quarterly growth and unchanged full-year guidance, which raised questions about the company's positioning between luxury and mass-market segments. The $250 million repurchase exceeds the previously planned approximately $200 million buyback for fiscal year 2026, signaling heightened management confidence. On May 21, when the ASR was first announced, shares surged 18%, and the stock continues to build on that momentum.
