Foot Locker: Weak Guidance And Macro Concerns Weigh On The Stock Sentiment
I maintain a hold rating on FL due to concerns about the FY25 outlook outweighing recent positive achievements. 4Q24 earnings were strong with a 2.6% SSS growth, 300 bps gross margin expansion, and 126% adj EPS growth. Positive factors include significant digital traction, with digital comps up 12.4%, and an improved relationship with NKE boosting footwear sales.

FY24 results showed strong core performance, especially in footwear, but cautious FY25 guidance reflects potential macroeconomic challenges and consumer discretionary pressures.
