Track market-moving stories before they get noisy

In the latest trading session, Crocs (CROX - Free Report) closed at $119.26, marking a -1.43% move from the previous day. This change lagged the S&P 500's 0.52% loss on the day. On the other hand, the Dow registered a loss of 1.24%, and the technology-centric Nasdaq decreased by 0.21%.

The stock of footwear company has fallen by 1.98% in the past month, lagging the Consumer Discretionary sector's gain of 4.8% and the S&P 500's loss of 1.21%.

The investment community will be paying close attention to the earnings performance of Crocs in its upcoming release. The company is slated to reveal its earnings on October 29, 2026. In that report, analysts expect Crocs to post earnings of $3.31 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 13.36%. Alongside, our most recent consensus estimate is anticipating revenue of $1 billion, indicating a 0.87% upward movement from the same quarter last year.

CROX's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $13.97 per share and revenue of $4.11 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +11.67% and +1.68%, respectively.

Investors should also take note of any recent adjustments to analyst estimates for Crocs. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. As a result, upbeat changes in estimates indicate analysts' favorable outlook on the business health and profitability.

Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. To take advantage of this, we've established the Zacks Rank, an exclusive model that considers these estimated changes and delivers an operational rating system.

The Zacks Rank system, spanning from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), boasts an impressive track record of outperformance, audited externally, with #1 ranked stocks yielding an average annual return of +25% since 1988. Over the past month, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate has moved 0.14% higher. Currently, Crocs is carrying a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy).

Valuation is also important, so investors should note that Crocs has a Forward P/E ratio of 8.66 right now. Its industry sports an average Forward P/E of 16.76, so one might conclude that Crocs is trading at a discount comparatively.

It is also worth noting that CROX currently has a PEG ratio of 1.01. The PEG ratio is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but this metric also takes the company's expected earnings growth rate into account. CROX's industry had an average PEG ratio of 1.94 as of yesterday's close.

The Textile - Apparel industry is part of the Consumer Discretionary sector. This industry, currently bearing a Zacks Industry Rank of 184, finds itself in the bottom 26% echelons of all 250+ industries.

The Zacks Industry Rank assesses the vigor of our specific industry groups by computing the average Zacks Rank of the individual stocks incorporated in the groups. Our research shows that the top 50% rated industries outperform the bottom half by a factor of 2 to 1.

Keep in mind to rely on Zacks.com to watch all these stock-impacting metrics, and more, in the succeeding trading sessions.

Wall Street expects a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when Crocs (CROX - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended September 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The earnings report, which is expected to be released on October 29, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis footwear company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $3.31 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +13.4%.

Revenues are expected to be $1 billion, up 0.9% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.32% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Crocs?For Crocs, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +0.60%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #2.

So, this combination indicates that Crocs will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Crocs would post earnings of $4.32 per share when it actually produced earnings of $4.55, delivering a surprise of +5.32%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Crocs appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

An Industry Player's Expected ResultsAnother stock from the Zacks Textile - Apparel industry, V.F. (VFC - Free Report) , is soon expected to post earnings of $0.54 per share for the quarter ended September 2026. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +3.9%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $2.69 billion, down 3.9% from the year-ago quarter.

The consensus EPS estimate for V.F. has been revised 1.3% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. However, a higher Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +0.80%.

This Earnings ESP, combined with its Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), suggests that V.F. will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.

Investors looking for stocks in the Textile - Apparel sector might want to consider either Crocs (CROX - Free Report) or Cintas (CTAS - Free Report) . But which of these two stocks offers value investors a better bang for their buck right now? We'll need to take a closer look.

Everyone has their own methods for finding great value opportunities, but our model includes pairing an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system with a strong Zacks Rank. The Zacks Rank is a proven strategy that targets companies with positive earnings estimate revision trends, while our Style Scores work to grade companies based on specific traits.

Crocs has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), while Cintas has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold) right now. Investors should feel comfortable knowing that CROX likely has seen a stronger improvement to its earnings outlook than CTAS has recently. But this is only part of the picture for value investors.

Value investors also tend to look at a number of traditional, tried-and-true figures to help them find stocks that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels.

Our Value category grades stocks based on a number of key metrics, including the tried-and-true P/E ratio, the P/S ratio, earnings yield, and cash flow per share, as well as a variety of other fundamentals that value investors frequently use.

CROX currently has a forward P/E ratio of 8.60, while CTAS has a forward P/E of 38.35. We also note that CROX has a PEG ratio of 1.00. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. CTAS currently has a PEG ratio of 3.36.

Another notable valuation metric for CROX is its P/B ratio of 4.16. Investors use the P/B ratio to look at a stock's market value versus its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. By comparison, CTAS has a P/B of 16.34.

These metrics, and several others, help CROX earn a Value grade of B, while CTAS has been given a Value grade of F.

CROX is currently sporting an improving earnings outlook, which makes it stick out in our Zacks Rank model. And, based on the above valuation metrics, we feel that CROX is likely the superior value option right now.

The Consumer Discretionary group has plenty of great stocks, but investors should always be looking for companies that are outperforming their peers. Is Crocs (CROX - Free Report) one of those stocks right now? By taking a look at the stock's year-to-date performance in comparison to its Consumer Discretionary peers, we might be able to answer that question.

Crocs is a member of the Consumer Discretionary sector. This group includes 259 individual stocks and currently holds a Zacks Sector Rank of #12. The Zacks Sector Rank includes 16 different groups and is listed in order from best to worst in terms of the average Zacks Rank of the individual companies within each of these sectors.

The Zacks Rank emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find stocks with improving earnings outlooks. This system has a long record of success, and these stocks tend to be on track to beat the market over the next one to three months. Crocs is currently sporting a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy).

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for CROX's full-year earnings has moved 2.3% higher within the past quarter. This means that analyst sentiment is stronger and the stock's earnings outlook is improving.

Our latest available data shows that CROX has returned about 40.5% since the start of the calendar year. Meanwhile, stocks in the Consumer Discretionary group have lost about 11.7% on average. This means that Crocs is outperforming the sector as a whole this year.

Another stock in the Consumer Discretionary sector, Oriental Land (OLCLY - Free Report) , has outperformed the sector so far this year. The stock's year-to-date return is 10.5%.

The consensus estimate for Oriental Land's current year EPS has increased 10.9% over the past three months. The stock currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Looking more specifically, Crocs belongs to the Textile - Apparel industry, which includes 23 individual stocks and currently sits at #190 in the Zacks Industry Rank. Stocks in this group have lost about 4.1% so far this year, so CROX is performing better this group in terms of year-to-date returns.

In contrast, Oriental Land falls under the Hotels and Motels industry. Currently, this industry has 15 stocks and is ranked #99. Since the beginning of the year, the industry has moved +17.4%.

Crocs and Oriental Land could continue their solid performance, so investors interested in Consumer Discretionary stocks should continue to pay close attention to these stocks.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BARK (NYSE: BARK), the world’s most dog-centric company devoted to making all dogs happy, today announced a major expansion of its partnership with Crocs (NASDAQ: CROX). After Pet Crocs shoes, Crocs' entry into the pet category with BARK, sold out and left dog parents asking for more, the collaboration now expands beyond footwear into how dogs play, walk and lounge.

BARK x Crocs Collection Expands Beyond Pet Crocs Shoes, Starting With a Dog Bed You Can Personalize with Jibbitz™ Charm-Inspired Plushes

Share The centerpiece is the Crocs Snore Mode dog bed, a customizable, oversized Crocs Classic Clog-like bed your dog can actually sleep in.

The walk gets an upgrade, too. Crocs styles are already the unofficial dog-walking shoe, now the collection extends that same energy to the leash, with collars, leashes, and poop bag holders in four colorways, plus coordinating Crocs shoes, so the whole walk is matched head-to-toe.

The expanded collection also includes:

This collection is an evolution of that first product, it's not a novelty purchase, it's an identity purchase. We've built out the entire Crocs universe for dogs: toys, beds, Jibbitz charms. Dogs deserve it all."

More News From BARK, Inc.

Back to Newsroom

Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ:CROX) (NASDAQ: CROX), the casual footwear company, is expected to report a 7% decline in North America direct-to-consumer sales for the third quarter, with Bank of America estimating 5% underlying growth excluding the revenue recognition change.

The bank forecasts North America direct-to-consumer sales of -7%, compared with a Visible Alpha consensus of -5%, with the difference reflecting a modeling discrepancy around the July revenue recognition change.

The change moved a large partner from direct-to-consumer to wholesale and is expected to reduce reported North America direct-to-consumer growth by 12 percentage points over the next four quarters.

The impact should be partly offset by stronger wholesale sales, with the benefit expected to be greater in the fourth quarter because of the timing of sell-in.

BofA said its underlying third-quarter direct-to-consumer growth estimate of 5% is consistent with the first half, and it expects the revenue restatement to be understood by investors.

The bank said an inflated sell-side consensus estimate for North America direct-to-consumer sales should not be problematic if Crocs provides enough disclosure to bridge restated trends on a like-for-like basis.

BofA and the broader market remain aligned with Crocs' third-quarter guidance for 1% growth in Crocs brand sales and earnings per share of $3.20 to $3.30.

The bank said momentum is broadening beyond sandals, with stabilization in classic clogs and growth across ballet flats, sport and fashion clog franchises, including Crocbrand, Echo and Crafted, as well as recovery in Mellow.

A strong pipeline of new products in the second half of 2026 and first half of 2027 should support momentum, although Bank of America expects North America direct-to-consumer growth to slow in the fourth quarter because of a tougher comparison.

BofA expects gross and operating margins to improve in the third quarter as Crocs laps tariff headwinds and cost savings increase, while higher oil prices could pressure fuel surcharges and raw material costs.

The bank maintains its buy rating, saying new products and stabilization in classic clogs could support a higher valuation multiple and further earnings-per-share upgrades.

Crocs (CROX - Free Report) ended the recent trading session at $122.36, demonstrating a -3% change from the preceding day's closing price. The stock fell short of the S&P 500, which registered a loss of 0.77% for the day. At the same time, the Dow lost 0.67%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq lost 0.92%.

The footwear company's stock has climbed by 3.2% in the past month, exceeding the Consumer Discretionary sector's loss of 8.94% and the S&P 500's gain of 0.96%.

The upcoming earnings release of Crocs will be of great interest to investors. The company is predicted to post an EPS of $3.3, indicating a 13.01% growth compared to the equivalent quarter last year. Simultaneously, our latest consensus estimate expects the revenue to be $1 billion, showing a 0.72% escalation compared to the year-ago quarter.

For the entire fiscal year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $13.95 per share and a revenue of $4.11 billion, representing changes of +11.51% and +1.62%, respectively, from the prior year.

Investors should also take note of any recent adjustments to analyst estimates for Crocs. These latest adjustments often mirror the shifting dynamics of short-term business patterns. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the business and profitability.

Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. To utilize this, we have created the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model that integrates these estimate changes and provides a functional rating system.

The Zacks Rank system, which varies between #1 (Strong Buy) and #5 (Strong Sell), carries an impressive track record of exceeding expectations, confirmed by external audits, with stocks at #1 delivering an average annual return of +25% since 1988. Over the past month, there's been no change in the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. Currently, Crocs is carrying a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).

Looking at valuation, Crocs is presently trading at a Forward P/E ratio of 9.04. This signifies a discount in comparison to the average Forward P/E of 15.38 for its industry.

Meanwhile, CROX's PEG ratio is currently 1.05. This popular metric is similar to the widely-known P/E ratio, with the difference being that the PEG ratio also takes into account the company's expected earnings growth rate. As of the close of trade yesterday, the Textile - Apparel industry held an average PEG ratio of 1.82.

The Textile - Apparel industry is part of the Consumer Discretionary sector. This industry currently has a Zacks Industry Rank of 169, which puts it in the bottom 32% of all 250+ industries.

The strength of our individual industry groups is measured by the Zacks Industry Rank, which is calculated based on the average Zacks Rank of the individual stocks within these groups. Our research shows that the top 50% rated industries outperform the bottom half by a factor of 2 to 1.

Be sure to use Zacks.com to monitor all these stock-influencing metrics, and more, throughout the forthcoming trading sessions.

For new and old investors, taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals. Zacks Premium provides lots of different ways to do both.

The popular research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor, giving you access to daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens.

It also includes access to the Zacks Style Scores.

What are the Zacks Style Scores? Developed alongside the Zacks Rank, the Zacks Style Scores are a group of complementary indicators that help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.

Each stock is given an alphabetic rating of A, B, C, D or F based on their value, growth, and momentum qualities. With this system, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on, meaning the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.

The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:

Value ScoreValue investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.

Growth ScoreGrowth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.

Momentum ScoreMomentum traders and investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." This investing style is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Employing factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, the Momentum Style Score can indicate favorable times to build a position in high-momentum stocks.

VGM ScoreWhat if you like to use all three types of investing? The VGM Score is a combination of all Style Scores, making it one of the most comprehensive indicators to use with the Zacks Rank. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, which helps narrow down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.

How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create a successful portfolio.

#1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +23.8% average annual return since 1988, which is more than double the S&P 500's performance over the same time frame. However, the Zacks Rank examines a ton of stocks, and there can be more than 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, and another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.

But it can feel overwhelming to pick the right stocks for you and your investing goals with over 800 top-rated stocks to choose from.

That's where the Style Scores come in.

You want to make sure you're buying stocks with the highest likelihood of success, and to do that, you'll need to pick stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you like a stock that only has a #3 (Hold) rank, it should also have Scores of A or B to guarantee as much upside potential as possible.

As mentioned above, the Scores are designed to work with the Zacks Rank, so any change to a company's earnings outlook should be a deciding factor when picking which stocks to buy.

For instance, a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one that boasts Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings forecast, and a much greater likelihood its share price will decline as well.

Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Stock to Watch: Crocs (CROX - Free Report) Founded in 1999 and based in Broomfield, CO, Crocs, Inc. is one of the leading footwear brands with its focus on comfort and style. Famous for its iconic clog material, Crocs’ simple design and great comfort were an instant hit among consumers. The company offers a wide variety of footwear products including sandals, wedges, flips and slides that cater to people of all ages.

CROX is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of B.

It also boasts a Value Style Score of B thanks to attractive valuation metrics like a forward P/E ratio of 8.76; value investors should take notice.

For fiscal 2026, five analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.28 to $13.95 per share. CROX boasts an average earnings surprise of +13.6%.

With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Value and VGM Style Scores, CROX should be on investors' short list.

With a 60%+ Upside, There’s Plenty to Love About LovesacCrocs NASDAQ: CROX CFO Patraic Reagan said the footwear company is positioning itself to navigate shifting consumer preferences through product diversification, innovation and expanded marketing efforts across both the Crocs and HEYDUDE brands.

Speaking at Piper’s Consumer and Tech Conference with Piper analyst Anna Andreeva, Reagan said recent footwear-category changes reflect the type of cyclicality that occurs periodically. While Crocs remains closely associated with its Classic Clog, he said the company has broadened its offering across multiple clog silhouettes, sandals and lifestyle products.

Sandals, Lifestyle Products Support Diversification Reagan said Crocs has developed a sandal business approaching $500 million in annual revenue. Key sandal franchises include Getaway, Brooklyn and Miami, with the recently introduced Miami silhouette performing well, according to Reagan.

Wolverine World Wide Breaks Out – Will the 92% Rally Continue?Beyond clogs and sandals, the company has expanded into lifestyle-oriented footwear. Reagan highlighted the Mellow recovery product line and the Classic Ballet Flat, which he described as a “runaway hit” this year. He said demand for the ballet flat exceeded the company’s ability to fully supply the market.

For the HEYDUDE brand, Reagan said Crocs has been broadening the business beyond its Wally and Wendy icons. The company is targeting activities and categories including boating and fishing through its H2O franchise, as well as work footwear and boots.

Addressing concerns that Crocs’ recent growth was driven largely by sandals and could slow as the weather turns colder, Reagan said the sandal season has extended beyond the traditional spring and summer period. He also pointed to cold-weather products intended to support fall and holiday demand.

Those products include the Unfurgettable, a warm lined silhouette, and the Cozzzy product line. On the HEYDUDE side, Reagan said the company’s boot and work businesses provide additional opportunities during the fall and holiday selling periods.

Investment in Innovation and Brand Building Reagan said Crocs has increased its focus on product innovation over the past 12 to 18 months. He credited CEO Andrew Rees with reinforcing the need for the company to remain proactive in developing products for consumers.

After joining as CFO last year, Reagan said the company established a strategy to “ring-fence” investment in product innovation, including investments in talent, experimentation and speed to market when products gain traction.

He also discussed the return of Chief Marketing Officer Terence Reilly, who previously worked at Crocs before joining Stanley. Reilly initially returned in a commercial role and was elevated to CMO roughly eight or nine months ago, Reagan said.

According to Reagan, Reilly has helped strengthen Crocs’ global brand storytelling through TikTok, refreshed advertising campaigns and marketing efforts for HEYDUDE. He also cited the introduction of Niles, a crocodile mascot used in Crocs marketing. Reagan said Niles had accumulated more than 25,000 followers and had appeared at several NFL games.

Wholesale Demand Showing ‘Green Shoots’ Reagan said Crocs views all distribution channels as important and aims to meet consumers wherever they shop, whether through its own direct-to-consumer channels or wholesale partners such as Famous Footwear and DICK’S Sporting Goods.

However, he said it is generally easier for Crocs to introduce and tell the story behind new products through its own stores, website, TikTok Shop and marketplace partners. Wholesale partners have been more cautious in committing upfront to new products, he said.

Still, Reagan described growing in-season replenishment, or “at-once,” orders from wholesale partners as a positive sign. He said retailers are ordering more after seeing product performance, which he characterized as evidence that consumer demand is present and could lead to greater wholesale commitments in future seasons.

The Classic Clog remains the company’s icon, Reagan said, but Crocs is working to keep the franchise fresh through collaborations with partners including Disney, LEGO and the NFL. Those partnerships include products tied to Disney and Pixar properties and NFL team personalization.

HEYDUDE Reset and Marketplace Relationship Reagan said the strategic rationale behind acquiring HEYDUDE remains sound because the brand reaches a different consumer base than Crocs. He acknowledged, however, that the integration and inventory management process could have been stronger.

HEYDUDE experienced excess inventory in the marketplace, according to Reagan. The company worked through that inventory during the third and fourth quarters of last year, including by bringing back inventory from distribution channels.

Reagan said Crocs effectively completed what he called a “2.5-year reset” in about nine months. He said the company entered 2026 with an objective of returning HEYDUDE to growth during the second half of the year and has been ahead of its internal milestones for the third quarter. Crocs had guided for HEYDUDE results ranging from flat to down 3% in the quarter, an improvement from its prior outlooks, he said.

Finally, Reagan said Crocs recently reset its relationship with an unnamed major marketplace partner after determining the previous arrangement was not optimal for either side. Following meetings held from May through July, the companies reached a new go-forward partnership model in late July. Reagan said he views the revised arrangement as strategically positive and expects the companies to achieve more together under the new model.

Investors with an interest in Textile - Apparel stocks have likely encountered both Crocs (CROX - Free Report) and Ralph Lauren (RL - Free Report) . But which of these two stocks is more attractive to value investors? We'll need to take a closer look to find out.

We have found that the best way to discover great value opportunities is to pair a strong Zacks Rank with a great grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system. The Zacks Rank favors stocks with strong earnings estimate revision trends, and our Style Scores highlight companies with specific traits.

Right now, Crocs is sporting a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), while Ralph Lauren has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold). This means that CROX's earnings estimate revision activity has been more impressive, so investors should feel comfortable with its improving analyst outlook. But this is only part of the picture for value investors.

Value investors are also interested in a number of tried-and-true valuation metrics that help show when a company is undervalued at its current share price levels.

The Value category of the Style Scores system identifies undervalued companies by looking at a number of key metrics. These include the long-favored P/E ratio, P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a variety of other fundamentals that help us determine a company's fair value.

CROX currently has a forward P/E ratio of 7.99, while RL has a forward P/E of 17.84. We also note that CROX has a PEG ratio of 0.93. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. RL currently has a PEG ratio of 1.26.

Another notable valuation metric for CROX is its P/B ratio of 4. The P/B ratio is used to compare a stock's market value with its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. For comparison, RL has a P/B of 7.41.

Based on these metrics and many more, CROX holds a Value grade of B, while RL has a Value grade of C.

CROX has seen stronger estimate revision activity and sports more attractive valuation metrics than RL, so it seems like value investors will conclude that CROX is the superior option right now.

What this transaction means for investorsThey say that insiders sell for many reasons, but only buy for one. Broadly speaking, this is true. Insiders sell far more often than they buy their own company's stock. There are complex reasons for this, but the takeaway is clear: Insider buys are worth knowing about. Nonetheless, insider buying alone isn't enough reason to own a stock. Retail investors should always return to a company's fundamentals before investing. With that in mind, let's have a look at Crocs (CROX).

To start, let's review CROX's recent performance history. Since 2021, the stock has generated a total return of -25%, equating to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -5.7%. The S&P 500, meanwhile, has delivered a total return of 83%, with a CAGR of 12.9%.

As for the company's fundamentals, they've been mixed at best. Let's start with operating margin. It's consistently slipped since 2021, falling from a high of 30% in 2021 to around 21% now. In addition, net income has decreased, dropping from around $800 million in 2021 to about $600 million now.

On the other hand, some figures have improved. Net debt, for example, has fallen from around $3.0 billion to about $1.5 billion. Similarly, revenue has increased, growing from $2.2 billion in 2021 to $4.1 billion now. However, revenue growth has largely stalled, decreasing from 70% year-over-year growth to only 3%.

To sum up, CROX stock has significantly underperformed the stock market over the last few years, as its revenue has flatlined and its operating margins have shrunk. The company has significantly reduced its debt, and it has plans to grow revenue and increase margins by introducing new products and shifting its sales strategy. In any event, some investors may choose to take a wait-and-see approach to see if management's plans come to fruition.

The popular research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor, giving you access to daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens.

Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores.

What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores is a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on three popular investing types, and were developed as complementary indicators for the Zacks Rank. This combination helps investors choose securities with the highest chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.

Each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics. Just like in school, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on -- that means the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.

The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:

Value ScoreFor value investors, it's all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.

Growth ScoreGrowth investors are more concerned with a stock's future prospects, and the overall financial health and strength of a company. Thus, the Growth Style Score analyzes characteristics like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will see sustainable growth over time.

Momentum ScoreMomentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks.

VGM ScoreIf you like to use all three kinds of investing, then the VGM Score is for you. It's a combination of all Style Scores, and is an important indicator to use with the Zacks Rank. The VGM Score rates each stock on their shared weighted styles, narrowing down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.

How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create a successful portfolio.

It's highly successful, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.8% average annual return since 1988. That's more than double the S&P 500. But because of the large number of stocks we rate, there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.

With more than 800 top-rated stocks to choose from, it can certainly feel overwhelming to pick the ones that are right for you and your investing journey.

That's where the Style Scores come in.

You want to make sure you're buying stocks with the highest likelihood of success, and to do that, you'll need to pick stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you like a stock that only has a #3 (Hold) rank, it should also have Scores of A or B to guarantee as much upside potential as possible.

As mentioned above, the Scores are designed to work with the Zacks Rank, so any change to a company's earnings outlook should be a deciding factor when picking which stocks to buy.

For instance, a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one that boasts Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings forecast, and a much greater likelihood its share price will decline as well.

Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

CROX is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of B.

It also boasts a Value Style Score of B thanks to attractive valuation metrics like a forward P/E ratio of 8.26; value investors should take notice.

For fiscal 2026, five analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.28 to $13.95 per share. CROX boasts an average earnings surprise of +13.6%.

Crocs' diversification initiatives reduce revenue and free cash flow volatility, providing catalysts for a potential valuation multiple expansion due to lower cost of capital.

During the Q2 2026 earnings call, Crocs announced that its board of directors authorized an additional $1.5 billion share buyback program.

What this transaction means for investorsThis transaction doesn't appear to be anything massive for investors to take note of, as its CEO appears to be making typical trades through his trust. While it is a sale out of his trust, it could be for something as simple as diversification -- and it doesn't appear to be an attempt to time the market by any means. Similarly, the sale was a mere 4% of his total indirect holdings, so it isn't a major decline.

From a stock perspective, Crocs is a powerful force in its somewhat weird niche of the shoe industry. Over the last decade, Crocs has grown sales by 16% annually, and currently boasts a 17% free cash flow margin. The stock is a 15-bagger over that time, despite its hefty $2.5 billion acquisition of HeyDude, which is largely considered a dramatic overpayment.

Growing sales by just 2% in its latest quarter, Crocs is trying to reignite its long-term growth story with new innovations, but the market has assigned a P/FCF ratio of 9.6 to the stock while it waits for a turnaround. Thanks to this low valuation, management has been buying back shares hand over fist, and the company has lowered its share count by 4% annually over the last ten years. If you're a fan of the Crocs brand, it may be a fun stock to hold at today's price, but I personally try to avoid fashion and footwear stocks -- though Crocs valuation is rather appealing.

Key Takeaways Crocs shares gained 26.9% in three months as stronger brand trends supported the recent rally.Crocs Brand DTC revenue rose 12.9%, while international sales climbed 7.8% in the second quarter. HEYDUDE revenue fell 5.7%, while tariffs helped push adjusted gross margin down 170 basis points. Shares of Crocs, Inc. (CROX - Free Report) have gained 26.9% in the past three months, putting the focus on whether improving brand trends can support further progress. The rally has coincided with firmer direct-to-consumer demand, international expansion and a broader product mix.

The operating picture is not uniformly positive. HEYDUDE remains under pressure and tariff-related costs have weighed on margins, leaving execution and profitability as key tests after the stock’s recent advance.

Crocs’ Three-Month Rally Meets Stronger Brand MomentumThe Crocs Brand has built momentum through product newness, collaborations and wider demand across footwear categories. Partnerships with BAPE and F1 Red Bull Racing supported engagement in the second quarter, while the BAPE collaboration featuring the Echo RO sold out within minutes globally.

Demand also broadened across Crocband, Echo and Crafted clog franchises and key sandal lines. These developments strengthen the business backdrop that has coincided with the share-price gain, but they should not be read as proof that any single operating initiative caused the stock move.

CROX Gets Support From DTC and International GrowthSecond-quarter Crocs Brand direct-to-consumer revenues increased 12.9% year over year. That performance came alongside reduced promotional activity, supporting the case that consumers are responding to the brand’s newer products and direct channels.

International revenues rose 7.8%, with China, India and Japan posting double-digit growth. Those markets give Crocs additional avenues for expansion as North America remains less consistent and wholesale trends continue to limit growth at home.

Crocs Broadens Demand Beyond the Classic ClogCrocs is extending demand beyond its core Classic Clog. Crocband, Echo and Crafted performed well in the second quarter, while the Miami, Getaway and Brooklyn sandal franchises continued to gain consumer adoption. The Classic Ballet Flat also recorded notable global sellouts, particularly in Asia.

The broader footwear market offers useful context. Deckers Outdoor Corporation (DECK - Free Report) competes through brands including HOKA, UGG and Teva. Birkenstock Holding plc (BIRK - Free Report) has built a broad unisex portfolio around its footbed-based products. For Crocs, adding successful silhouettes can reduce dependence on any single category.

CROX Still Faces HEYDUDE and Margin PressureHEYDUDE remains the clearest operating drag. Second-quarter revenues declined 5.7% to $179 million, while wholesale revenues fell 17.2%. Direct-to-consumer revenues increased 7.2%, but the brand still needs to rebuild broader channel momentum.

Profitability also warrants attention. Adjusted gross margin fell 170 basis points to 60%, primarily because of tariff impacts, while adjusted operating margin declined 180 basis points to 25.1%. Cost actions can help, but continued tariff exposure leaves less room for execution missteps.

Crocs’ Short-Term Signal Supports a Measured ViewThe recent 26.9% gain has been accompanied by better Crocs Brand trends, yet HEYDUDE weakness and margin pressure keep the investment case balanced. Investors still need evidence that international growth and product diversification can translate into durable enterprise-level improvement.

CROX currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), a favorable short-term signal. It also has a VGM Score of B and Value Score of B, while its Growth Score of C and Momentum Score of F make the setup less uniform. The combination favors a measured view rather than assuming the recent rally guarantees further upside. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Key Takeaways AOUT, CROX, ROKU, LCUT and TILE are five discretionary stocks with upside.AOUT's earnings growth is expected to top 100%, with estimates up 29.4% in 60 days.LCUT's earnings estimate has improved 90.4% over 90 days, with 71.6% growth expected.
Inflation is finally showing signs of stabilizing, as consumer prices increased marginally in July. Oil prices fell for the second straight month, much to the relief of consumers, who have been concerned about the economy’s health.

Although inflation remains high, signs of slowing will give consumers the much-needed confidence. The marginal rise also weakens investors’ expectations of a rate hike by the Federal Reserve next month.

Given this scenario, we recommend buying four consumer discretionary stocks, namely, American Outdoor Brands, Inc. (AOUT - Free Report) , Crocs, Inc. (CROX - Free Report) , Roku, Inc. (ROKU - Free Report) , Lifetime Brands, Inc. (LCUT - Free Report) and Interface, Inc.(TILE - Free Report) ,

July Data Shows Inflation Stabilizing FinallyIn July, the consumer price index (CPI), one of the Federal Reserve’s key indicators of inflation, rose 0.1% sequentially, which came in line with analysts’ expectations, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Wednesday. Core CPI, which strips out the volatile food and energy prices, rose 0.2% in July.

Year over year, CPI declined to 3.4% in July from 3.5% in the month earlier. Core CPI came in at 2.5% year over year last month, down 0.1% from June. Energy prices fell 1.5% after declining 5.7% in the prior month. Food and shelter costs each rose 0.1%.

The inflation data comes days after data showed surprise job losses in July. Inflation rose sharply earlier in the year owing to the U.S.-Iran conflict that saw oil prices surging 10.9% in March.

However, a temporary ceasefire and optimism surrounding peace talks between the two warring nations have seen energy costs ease over the past two months. The Federal Reserve had been planning to hike interest rates by a quarter percentage point this year to fight inflation.

Although inflation remains above the Fed’s 2% target, signs of easing inflation and an unexpectedly large number of job losses could make the central bank wait for some more time before deciding on a rate cut.

Lower borrowing costs will give consumers more spending power, which is expected to help the broader economy.
