Foot Locker's 3Q Results Can Save Face, Or Make Matters Worse -- Market Talk

Dow Jones11-21 01:25

1225 ET - Foot Locker's threads may be running thin. The sneaker seller likely had a weak 3Q, UBS analysts say in a research note, in part citing lackluster sales trends during recent channel checks. However, the company could pleasantly surprise investors by posting better-than-expected margins after lapping last year's high markdowns, or by detailing a strong Black Friday on its earnings call, which is scheduled for the following week. If neither occurs, the bearish sentiment around the company, whose stock fell more than 31% in the last three months, could further deteriorate, they say. UBS forecasts a small 3Q EPS miss, as well as a cut to its FY EPS guide. The bank cuts its price target to $26 from $29. (connor.hart@wsj.com)
