Crocs (CROX) Stock Trades Up, Here Is Why
What Happened? Shares of footwear company Crocs (NASDAQ:CROX) jumped 3% in the morning session after the announcement of a new collaboration with Krispy Kreme (NASDAQ: DNUT) and a broader rally in the consumer retail sector. The footwear company teamed up with the doughnut chain to launch a limited-edition "Krispy Kreme x Crocs Classic Clog," which is set to be released in early August. This type of brand collaboration often generates significant buzz and consumer interest, which investors viewed positively. The move also came amid a strong day for the consumer retail sector. The market was buoyed by an unexpected rebound in U.S. retail sales, which signaled that consumer spending remained resilient despite economic uncertainties. This positive macroeconomic data lifted sentiment for many retail-focused stocks, including Crocs, as it suggested continued healthy demand for consumer goods. After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $108.77, up 2.3% from previous close. Is now the time to buy Crocs? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. What Is The Market Telling Us Crocs's shares are quite volatile and have had 15 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 5 months ago when the stock gained 21% on the news that the company delivered solid fourth-quarter 2024 results, surpassing analysts' revenue, EPS, and EBITDA estimates. Revenue increased by 3.1%, led by a 4% rise in the core Crocs brand, while HEYDUDE sales remained flat. Strength in direct-to-consumer sales, particularly in China and North America also helped offset weaker wholesale performance. Guidance for the next quarter was underwhelming, with projected revenue expected to decline by 3.5%, weighed down by softness in HEYDUDE sales. However, full-year EPS guidance exceeded expectations, offering some reassurance to investors. Overall, this quarter wasn't perfect, but it was quite solid. Crocs is down 1.1% since the beginning of the year, and at $108.77 per share, it is trading 26.2% below its 52-week high of $147.40 from September 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Crocs's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $3,025. Today's young investors likely haven't read the timeless lessons in Gorilla Game: Picking Winners In High Technology because it was written more than 20 years ago when Microsoft and Apple were first establishing their supremacy. But if we apply the same principles, then enterprise software stocks leveraging their own generative AI capabilities may well be the Gorillas of the future. So, in that spirit, we are excited to present our Special Free Report on a profitable, fast-growing enterprise software stock that is already riding the automation wave and looking to catch the generative AI next.

Lewis Capaldi to join Sydney Sweeney as fashion ambassador in new campaign
Lewis is partnering with a fashion brand for their latest campaign. Lewis Capaldi has been revealed as a brand ambassador for footwear brand HEYDUDE in their brand new campaign. The Scots singer joins Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney who is also an ambassador for the brand. Fresh off his legendary Glastonbury Festival comeback, the release of his chart-topping single 'Survive' and ahead of his sell-out tour, Capaldi, who is renowned for his no-nonsense attitude and his vocal advocacy for mental health, perfectly represents the HEYDUDE brand which is intended to celebrate self-expression, comfort, and stepping out in the world as your full, unfiltered self. The HEYDUDE Country campaign invites new fans to experience the brand through expansive storytelling and in-real-life moments, with the goal of building community and connectivity, and encouraging fans to be their most authentic selves. The partnership with Capaldi will kick-off with an exclusive short film that offers an intimate look at Lewis' journey as an artist. From navigating the pressures of fame to reconnecting with what truly matters, the film captures personal reflections, candid moments and the humour that's made him a fan favourite. At its heart, it reveals how the Scots singer found his own version of HEYDUDE Country. Lewis said: 'It's been great to partner up with HEYDUDE who are all about feeling right in yourself. Making music is something that brings me a lot of comfort. You have to make music for you and then you hope that people find some of themselves in it'. Michael Anthes, SVP and General manager for HEYDUDE International, said: 'Lewis is the perfect fit for HEYDUDE Country - he embodies the spirit of our brand like no other. He's authentic, effortlessly relatable, and lives the comfort-first lifestyle we celebrate. "This campaign is about more than just footwear; it's about confidence, self-expression, and finding that unique headspace where you can be unapologetically yourself. Lewis doesn't just wear HEYDUDE, he is HEYDUDE Country, and we can't wait to share that energy with the world.' The launch of the global HEYDUDE Country campaign builds on the brand's explosive growth in the US, where it's quickly becoming a cultural favourite among Gen Z. The partnership with Capaldi is an important milestone for the brand as it looks to expand HEYDUDE Country internationally, with dedicated focus in the UK. This announcement follows with an official launch event set to take place in Lewis's hometown of Glasgow. The campaign will continue rolling out across Europe with a series of unexpected brand-inspired experimental moments and pop-up activations, all inviting people to find their own, unique version of 'HEYDUDE Country' where they can come together through shared creative experiences, personal passions, and meaningful connections.
