Williams Trading Downgrades Birkenstock Holding plc (BIRK) to Hold

Williams Trading analyst Sam Poser downgraded Birkenstock Holding plc (NYSE: BIRK) from Buy to Hold with a price target of $51.00 (from $75.00).

The analyst comments "Downgrading from Buy to Hold, lowering estimates, and reducing PT from $75 to $51. The lack of clarity from BIRK's management team makes the stock tough to own, despite the fact that it runs a very good business. 4Q25 results exceeded consensus estimates, but FY26 guidance was below consensus. FY26 gross margin guidance was 230bps-280bps below the consensus estimate, and 150bps-200bps down YoY. The FY26 gross margin guidance was disappointing because we believed (as did investors) that the price increases taken would offset the potential tariff headwinds, and protect the gross margin percent. In reality, the price increases were taken to protect the gross margin Euros, not the gross margin percent."
