Sanchez noted that not only had Crocs addressed the children’s market which she termed “naturally regenerative” but also expanded their retail line across the adult market as well.
Blue Line Capital President Bill Baruch who reportedly purchased the stock amid the coronavirus sell-off last year and first noted it in 2019, praised Crocs “for doing everything right.”
Addressing technicals he said the biggest buy signal would be if the stock fell as low as $92, an unlikely scenario at present. A more likely pullback, according to Baruch, would be below $120.
“If you break below $120 though, we could shop around a bit between $110 and $120,” said Baruch, as per CNBC.
Earnings: Crocs reported second-quarter earnings of $2.23 per share, which beat a consensus estimate of $1.52 by 46.7%. Earnings shot up 120.8% on a year-over-year basis.
