On Friday, Raymond (NSE:RYMD) James made adjustments to Deckers Outdoor Corporation’s (NYSE:DECK) financial outlook, reducing the price target to $140 from the previous $150. Despite this change, the firm maintained a Strong Buy rating on the company’s stock.
Deckers Outdoor reported earnings per share (EPS) for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025 that surpassed expectations, driven by higher-than-anticipated revenue, gross margin percentage, controlled selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A), and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) percentage. The UGG brand outperformed revenue forecasts, while HOKA saw a growth of 10%, which was below both Raymond James’ and the Street’s expectation of 13%.
The company provided a softer outlook for the first fiscal quarter, expecting revenue growth of 8-10%, which is below the 12% anticipated by Raymond James and the Street. The projected EPS, excluding buybacks, is between $0.62 and $0.67, which is also lower than Raymond James’ estimate of $0.81 and the Street’s $0.80.
Following the market closure, Deckers Outdoor’s stock experienced a notable decline. However, Raymond James continues to endorse the stock with a Strong Buy rating. The firm believes that the new guidance includes conservative estimates for both revenue and margins. They also suggest that there is room for the company to accelerate its share buyback program. Additionally, their sum-of-the-parts (SOTP) analysis still indicates a significantly higher stock price for Deckers Outdoor, even with a slower growth forecast for fiscal year 2026.
