Crocs sinks after third-quarter forecast for sharp sales decline
The company forecast a third-quarter revenue decline of approximately 9% to 11%. Analysts on average expected sales to gain less than 1%.
The stock fell as much as 19% in Thursday premarket trading in New York. Shares are down 4% this year, trailing a 7.9% gain for S&P 500.
The company will focus on managing its expenses, including cost savings, inventory reduction and a pullback in promotions, chief executive officer Andrew Rees said in a statement.
'Although these actions will impact the top line of our business in the short term, they will position our business to win,' he said.

S&P Global revises credit outlook for Gucci owner Kering to negative from stable
S&P Global has revised its credit outlook for luxury goods group Kering S.A. to negative from stable, the ratings agency said on Monday, after sales of Kering's Gucci brand and other products declined in the first half of the year. In a report on Kering's investment grade credit rating, S&P analysts highlighted weakening consumer demand for the French group's luxury apparel across key markets, most notably a 22% year-on-year decline in revenue in the Asia-Pacific and China. The analysts added that Kering had underperformed peers such as LVMH, Dior and Hermes so far this year. Sales of Kering's flagship Gucci brand, which made up over half of its core earnings (EBITDA) last year, fell by a quarter in the first half of 2025, the analysts added. S&P maintained Kering's long-term issuer credit ratings at BBB+, which lies toward the lower end of the high-grade ratings spectrum. "The negative outlook reflects Kering's reduced rating headroom stemming from ongoing pressures in its operating performance, execution risks associated with the company's turnaround initiatives, amid a subdued industry environment," the analysts wrote. Kering in June announced it appointed as its new CEO Luca de Meo, former CEO of French automaker Renault Group, who will take office in mid-September.

Britain's M&S restores click and collect services 15 weeks after UK systems hacked
British retailer Marks & Spencer has resumed taking click and collect orders for clothing after a 15-week hiatus following a cyber hack and data theft. The 141-year-old M&S stopped taking orders through its website and app for clothing and home deliveries and collection from stores on April 25, three days after disclosing it was managing a "cyber incident". It resumed taking online orders for delivery on June 10 but click and collect services, which allow customers to order items online and pick up in stores, had remained suspended. M&S's website said on Monday that click and collect had resumed. The company did not respond immediately to a request for comment. In May, M&S forecast the hacking of its systems would cost it about 300 million pounds ($404 million) in lost operating profit in its 2025/26 financial year, though it hopes to halve the impact through insurance and cost control. As part of its management of the hack and data theft, M&S took other systems offline. That reduced both clothing and food availability in stores, further denting sales. Rivals, such as Next in clothing and Sainsbury's in food, have been beneficiaries. M&S CEO Stuart Machin told investors in early July the group would be over the worst of the fallout from the incident by August. Shares in M&S are down 12% so far this year.
