Steven Madden (SHOO) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Steven Madden (SHOO) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Steven Madden Ltd is poised for continued growth, with management projecting a year-over-year revenue increase of 8.5% in 2025, bolstered by the direct-to-consumer benefits from the Kurt Geiger acquisition. The wholesale footwear segment is expected to recover despite macroeconomic headwinds, with a targeted operating margin expansion of several hundred basis points over time, indicating strong operational efficiency and profitability potential. Additionally, the company's projected earnings per share demonstrate a positive trajectory, potentially exceeding $0.40, positioning Steven Madden favorably in the competitive footwear market as it capitalizes on brand strength and long-term earnings sustainability.
Bears say
The analysis indicates a negative outlook for Steven Madden's stock primarily due to anticipated declines in operating margins, which are expected to face pressure from tariffs and lower sales driven by order cancellations in the off-price and mass segments. Specifically, the wholesale footwear segment, which is crucial to the company’s revenue, reported an 11% sales decline in 2Q25, with continued headwinds expected into the second half of the year. Additionally, while there are signs of a potential recovery in consumer preferences toward higher average unit retail (AUR) items, gross margins are projected to decline due to tariff-related pressures, further complicating the company’s financial landscape.
