Deckers Outdoor Corp's stock fell 3.01% and hit a 20-day low as investors await the company's Q3 earnings announcement scheduled for January 29th.
The earnings report is highly anticipated, with a consensus EPS estimate of $2.77 and revenue estimate of $1.87 billion. Despite Piper Sandler downgrading the stock due to concerns over HOKA's popularity, analysts remain optimistic about Deckers' potential rebound, suggesting it is undervalued and has growth tailwinds ahead. This mixed sentiment reflects market uncertainty regarding the company's future performance, especially with its history of beating earnings estimates.
The upcoming earnings report could significantly impact investor sentiment and stock performance, especially given the company's track record of exceeding expectations. Investors will be closely monitoring the results to gauge the company's competitiveness in the market.

Reason
Needham analyst Tom Nikic removed Deckers Outdoor from the firm's Conviction List while keeping a Buy rating on the shares with a $115 price target. The firm believes Deckers has entered a "slower-growth stage of life" at both its Ugg and Hoka brands. In addition, the company's margins may move lower in the coming years to sustainable long-term levels, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Reason
Piper Sandler analyst Anna Andreeva downgraded Deckers Outdoor to Underweight from Neutral with a price target of $85, down from $100. The shares are up 34% since early November but Deckers has "leaned into" discounting at both its Hoka and Ugg brands beginning this summer, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Piper is concerned about the company's promotions being used as an "unhealthy consumer acquisition tool." The sales could create potential conflict with Deckers' wholesale customers, Piper contends.

UBS says the firm's 11th annual global athletic wear survey shows Deckers Outdoor's Hoka brand has solid growth potential. The survey indicates Hoka's global aided awareness is just 20%, which leaves room to grow, the analyst tells investors in a research note. UBS points out that this level of awareness is much lower than Nike at 91% and Under Armour at 53%. The firm believes Hoka's momentum with consumers continues, which will drive "strong" 2026 sales growth for Deckers and "stock-driving earnings beats." UBS has a Buy rating on the shares with a $157 price target.
