Sam Poser has given his Sell rating due to a combination of factors affecting Steven Madden’s stock. Despite a positive earnings report for the first quarter of 2025, the company is facing significant challenges that are expected to persist throughout the year. These challenges include additional tariffs that have led to the withdrawal of the fiscal year 2025 guidance due to macroeconomic uncertainties.
Furthermore, the company’s reliance on Chinese production has resulted in increased costs and a slowdown in their speed to market, which is typically a competitive advantage for Steven Madden. The tariffs have also led to higher retail prices, order cancellations, and a more conservative approach from wholesale partners. As a result, sales and earnings estimates for 2025 and 2026 have been lowered, contributing to the Sell rating.
