Crocs (CROX) came out with quarterly earnings of $3 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.51 per share. This compares to earnings of $3.02 per share a year ago.
The clog and sandal company posted higher profit and lower revenue in the first quarter, but withdrew its full-year outlook. Shares rose in premarket trading.
CROX's Q1 results are likely to reflect HEYDUDE brand softness, foreign currency headwinds and new tariffs, offset by strength in core Crocs products.

Crocs has strong fundamentals, a well-known brand, and good margins, but lacks wide moats and faces uncertainties, making its valuation intriguing. Revenue growth potential hinges on pricing power, volume increase, and overcoming competition and macroeconomic challenges, including tariffs. Capital allocation is reasonable, with high ROIC, buybacks, and debt reduction, but the HEYDUDE acquisition still poses challenges.
Despite recent stock declines, I remain optimistic about Crocs due to its strong historical performance, revenue growth, and exceptional margins. Trump's tariffs pose short-term risks, but Crocs' competitive pricing and expanding product lines position it well for long-term success. Crocs' valuation is attractive, with a forward P/E ratio significantly lower than industry peers, indicating potential undervaluation.
CROX grapples with higher selling, general and administrative expenses and sluggishness at its HEYDUDE brand.
Crocs (CROX) reachead $89.93 at the closing of the latest trading day, reflecting a -0.96% change compared to its last close.
