We expect Steven Madden, Ltd. (SHOO - Free Report) to report a year-over-year increase in its top line when it releases fourth-quarter 2023 earnings on Feb 28. The Zacks Consensus Estimate of $510.9 million for quarterly revenues suggests an increase of 8.5% from the prior-year quarter’s actual.
The consensus estimate for quarterly earnings has been unchanged at 56 cents per share in the past 30 days. The consensus mark indicates a rise of 27.3% from the 44 cents a share earned in the year-earlier quarter.
This fashion-forward footwear, apparel and accessories dealer has delivered a negative earnings surprise of 1.2%, on average, in the trailing four quarters.
Steven Madden, Ltd. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Steven Madden’s fourth-quarter top line is likely to have been favorably impacted by efforts with respect to brand progress, international expansion and strengthening direct-to-consumer channels. The company’s expansion into categories outside of footwear, such as handbags and apparel, is likely to have been another positive. It has been focusing on creating a trend-right merchandise assortment, deepening relations with customers via marketing, enhancing the digital commerce agenda and efficiently controlling expenses.
These ongoing activities are indicative of the brand's strong market position, and its ability to attract and retain customers through innovative designs and marketing strategies. This performance is a testament to Steven Madden's robust business model and operational excellence, which are anticipated to have positively impacted margins in the fourth quarter.
The company demonstrated robust sell-through rates in major accounts and notable progress in the wholesale division in the third quarter, underscoring the high demand for its products. This momentum is expected to have influenced the wholesale segment's performance in the fourth quarter. We note that the Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter sales for the wholesale business is pegged at $354 million, suggesting a year-over-year increase of 14.6%.
