Crocs Raises Full-Year Guidance on Robust Overseas Momentum and HEYDUDE Rebound
Yahoo Finance ·
Crocs (CROX) lifted its full-year earnings outlook for the third consecutive time following a 4.6% rise in third-quarter revenue, driven by overseas expansion and a return to growth for HEYDUDE. The footwear maker raised its projected annual adjusted EPS to between $14.45 and $14.65, up from the prior $13.70 to $14.00 range. Adjusted operating margin climbed to 22.3% from 20.8%, while adjusted gross margin improved to 60.3%. International revenue for the Crocs brand advanced 11.8%, spearheaded by a 24.1% jump in direct-to-consumer sales, though North American revenue fell 2.1%. A $64 million nonrecurring tariff refund and share repurchases bolstered headline metrics, contributing to a 26.4% surge in adjusted EPS. Management now forecasts full-year revenue growth of roughly 3%, compared to its earlier 1% to 2% estimate, and anticipates fourth-quarter revenue growth of 7% to 9%.

DYAX 전담 분석
Crocs delivered solid fundamentals exceeding market expectations in Q3, with international revenue up 11.8% and adjusted operating income up 11.7%. A one-time tariff refund of $64 million and an 11% reduction in shares outstanding also contributed to earnings per share (EPS) growth.
Going forward, the stock price is expected to experience further upside or consolidation depending on whether the recovery of the HEYDUDE brand spreads across wholesale and retail, and whether the sales decline in the North American market reverses. Key metrics to watch include achieving the projected Q4 revenue growth rate of 7% to 9% and direct-to-consumer (DTC) profit margins.
