Wolverine Worldwide Widens Margins, Guides Above Consensus
Wolverine Worldwide’s NYSE: WWW Q1 expectations were low, and the company easily cleared the bar. Better-than-expected results, wider margins, and favorable guidance offset the double-digit revenue decline. Shares surged more than 20% because of the reset outlook and may continue higher. The technical setup favors a $3 or 20% gain that could lead to additional upside. The risk is the analysts who are not bullish. They rate the stock at a consensus Hold. There has been a single price target increase since the release, but the consensus target is 20% below the current action, and the high target is just above, providing a target for resistance that may not be broken.
