Wolverine World Wide is coming off a big earnings report where it beat earnings expectations by 8 cents per share. That was the second consecutive quarterly beat for the company. It led to a slew of earnings estimate revisions coming from analysts. Immediately following the news, four analysts increased their estimates for the current year and next year. The bullish moves pushed up our Zacks Consensus Estimate from 85 cents to 89 cents for the current year and up from $1.28 to $1.35 for next year.

The 50-day moving average has provided a ton of support. It’s basically acted as a guide for the sock since October 2023. The last touch of this level was heading into its last earnings report, just before the stock blasted off from under $16 to the $21 level it sits at now.
