Birkenstock profit beats estimates as shoemaker outlines plan to cope with tariffs
- Birkenstock (NYSE:BIRK) has posted better-than-anticipated profit in its fiscal third quarter and backed its full-year outlook, as the legacy German shoemaker said it is in a good spot despite the impact of elevated U.S. tariffs on the European Union. Known for its sandals and clogs, the more than 250-year old Birkenstock said it is "well-positioned" to handle President Donald Trump's increased 15% levies on many EU products sent to the U.S. -- a rate agreed upon by Washington and Brussels in late July. In a statement, CEO Oliver Reichert said the company will look to mitigate the duties through "a combination of pricing adjustment, cost discipline and inventory management." The firm backed its prior guidance for annual adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization margin of 31.3% to 31.8%. Analysts had seen the figure at 31.5%. At constant currency, revenue growth is also tipped to be at the "high end" of its predicted range of 15% to 17%. Operating profit in the three months ended on June 30 rose by 27% versus a year ago to 198 million euros, exceeding Bloomberg consensus projections of 182.7 million euros, with Reichert noting that income was bolstered by mid-single-digit expansion in average selling prices. Meanwhile, quarterly revenue increased by 12% to 635 million euros, compared with estimates of 636.3 million, as an uptick in business-to-business sales was offset by weaker-than-expected demand in the Americas region and at its direct-to-consumer segment. Shares of Birkenstock climbed by more than 3% in premarket U.S. trading on Thursday.

Why Vistra Stock Surged Almost 5% Higher on Tuesday
Key Points A pair of Vistra bulls published new takes on the company. These featured price target raises. 10 stocks we like better than Vistra › Electric utility Vistra (NYSE: VST) demonstrated some impressive power as a stock on Tuesday. The company's shares enjoyed a nearly 5% increase in price on the back of two price target increases from market professionals following the company's earnings release last week. That jump was well higher than the 1.1% rise of the S&P 500 index on the day. Two bulls go nuclear Both of the raising analysts are Vistra bulls, as evidenced by the fact that they maintained their respective equivalents of a buy recommendation. The first, Bank of America Securities's Ross Fowler, now believes Vistra could rise to $220 per share. That's up from his preceding level of $214. His peer James Thalacker of BMO Capital made a more dramatic raise, hiking his fair-value assessment to $229 per share from $191. According to reports, both analysts cited the second-quarter results Vistra posted last week as a key factor in their adjustments. Thalacker also pointed out that, per management's comments, there has been much interest in the operations of one of its nuclear power plants, Comanche Peak in Texas. Nuclear enjoys significant support from the Trump administration. In July 2024, Vistra received approval from the government's Nuclear Regulatory Commission to keep operating the plant through 2053. The second-quarter situation That second-quarter release featured some rather encouraging dynamics. For example, Vistra's operating revenue saw a nearly 11% year-over-year rise to $4.25 billion, although its GAAP net income fell to $327 million from the year-ago profit of $467 million.
