Deckers sinks on cautious full-year outlook that falls below estimates, compounding a miserable year for the Ugg maker

Deckers, the shoe maker behind brands like Ugg and Hoka running sneakers, has dropped about 11% in premarket trading after issuing a cautious outlook for its current fiscal year last night.

While revenue and profit both rose in the second quarter, up 9.1% and 9.7%, respectively, investors focused on the company’s forecast for the full fiscal year, where it expects sales to come in at $5.35 billion, some way short of the $5.46 billion analysts had estimated, per FactSet figures cited by The Wall Street Journal.

The language around the full-year guidance, which is already weaker than anticipated, has also got Deckers investors worried, with the company stating:

This outlook assumes no meaningful changes to the Company’s business prospects or risks and uncertainties identified by management that could impact future results, which include but are not limited to: changes in macroeconomic conditions, including consumer confidence, discretionary spending, inflationary pressures, and foreign currency fluctuations; changes to global trade policy, including tariffs and trade restrictions; geopolitical tensions; and supply chain disruption.

The shoe company’s shares are down more than 55% in 2025 at the time of writing.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.

Nike sinks to lowest level since 2014 after warning of “challenged” sales environment in Q4 report

Did Nike do it?

Investors had a mixed reaction after the global sports apparel company reported its fourth quarter earnings on Tuesday after the bell. Shares initially rose 5% as Nike beat out Wall Street expectations amid a hefty tariff refund bonus. However, the stock then sank to its lowest level since August 2014 in postmarket trading.

Here are the Q4 numbers:

  • Revenue of $11.0 billion (estimate: $10.8 billion).

  • Adjusted earnings per share of $0.20 (estimate: $0.12).

Ahead of this report, Nike warned that results would be flattered by a one-time tariff refund (now estimated at roughly $0.52 per share for the bottom line). That gave the company an extra cushion in snapping its streak of seven quarters of year-over-year profit declines.

Over the past year, the company had been punished by tariffs on imported goods, stagnant consumer spending, and increasing competition from other footwear brands like New Balance, Adidas, and Hoka.

Outgoing CFO Matthew Friend deemed it an “increasingly challenging operating environment, where sell-through remains challenged.”
