Why Designer Brands (DBI) Stock Is Trading Lower Today
Shares of footwear and accessories discount retailer Designer Brands (NYSE:DBI) fell 21.4% in the afternoon session after the company reported underwhelming first-quarter 2025 results, with sales and earnings falling short of Wall Street's estimates.
The company recorded a "soft start to the year", citing "an unpredictable macro environment and deteriorating consumer sentiment." Due to the consumer spending pressure, the company withdrew its full 2025 guidance, creating more uncertainty. Overall, this was a weaker quarter.
The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Is now the time to buy Designer Brands? Access our full analysis report here, it's free.
Designer Brands's shares are extremely volatile and have had 54 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Designer Brands and indicate this news significantly impacted the market's perception of the business.
The previous big move we wrote about was 4 days ago when the stock gained 5.2% after the major indices rebounded, as the Bureau of Labor Statistics report revealed a resilient labor market with non-farm payrolls rising by 139,000 in May 2025, significantly above the consensus forecast of 125,000.
Notably, a stable labor market often supports consumer spending, which is a key driver of economic growth, which means the report could help ease some of the recession fears that gripped markets. The data also supports the soft landing narrative, where the Fed can manage inflation toward its 2% target without significant damage to the economy.
Designer Brands is down 44.9% since the beginning of the year, and at $2.92 per share, it is trading 64.2% below its 52-week high of $8.16 from July 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Designer Brands's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $369.15.

EBC Financial Group Launches Over a 100 U.S. ETF CFDs, Strengthening Diversification for Global Clients
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EBC Financial Group (EBC) has announced the launch of over 100 new U.S.-listed Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) CFDs, expanding its multi-asset product suite and offering global client's deeper access to diversified, thematic trading opportunities. The rollout highlights EBC's ongoing commitment to delivering institutional-grade tools across asset classes, underpinned by flexibility, transparency, and efficiency. The new offering includes ETFs listed on the NYSE and NASDAQ, issued by leading asset managers such as Vanguard, iShares (BlackRock), and State Street Global Advisors. Thematic coverage spans a wide range of global macro and sectoral narratives. 'This expansion reflects our vision to bridge intelligent product design with market relevance,' said David Barrett, CEO of EBC Financial Group (UK) Ltd. 'The new products are a natural evolution for traders seeking targeted exposure with greater strategic flexibility. At EBC, we're building an ecosystem that empowers both precision and performance.' Thematic Access Meets Tactical Flexibility The additional ETF-linked instruments cover a variety of market exposures, including geographic allocations like the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF; fixed income-focused strategies such as the iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond Fund; and sector- or commodity-based indices including the United States Oil Fund LP and the Vanguard Health Care ETF. Other themes include dividend-related baskets, mid-cap equities, and style-based index tracking. These developments reflect wider industry interest in instruments that mirror trends in asset allocation without direct ownership of the underlying securities. Across many markets, sector-tilted and style-based index products are gaining relevance as participants seek flexible ways to align with global narratives. Historically, ETFs tracking specific economic cycles—such as commodity recoveries or emerging market rebounds—have demonstrated performance differentiation. The iShares MSCI Brazil ETF, for example, notably outperformed the S&P 500 during the post-pandemic recovery period in 2021, highlighting how thematic instruments can diverge from broad indices depending on market cycles. These additions serve as both stand-alone trade ideas and complementary instruments alongside EBC's existing product lineup, enabling advanced portfolio structuring and thematic trading. Smarter Exposure: Leverage, Shorting, and Cost Efficiency in One Product Compared to direct ETF investments, it presents several key advantages as traders benefit from a simplified cost structure, with no traditional fund management fees or broker commissions. The flexibility to take both long and short positions allows for strategic trading regardless of market direction, while the use of leverage enhances capital efficiency and return potential. These trades are executed in real time via EBC's recognised platforms, providing seamless access to market opportunities. During key market cycles, for example the post-pandemic V-shaped recovery of 2021—certain thematic ETFs, like the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF, significantly outperformed broader indices such as the S&P 500. Our portfolio enables traders to participate in similar trends, adapting quickly to shifting market dynamics with precision and speed. Getting Started These products can be accessed by registering on to begin simulated or live trading.
