Piper Jaffray analyst Erinn Murphy lowered estimates and her price target on Crocs (NASDAQ: CROX) to $8.00 (from $10.00) following weak Q2 results and guidance. The firm maintained a Neutral rating.

Murphy commented, "We remain on the sidelines on CROX following Q2's report in which revenue was $324M, down 6% Y/Y and handily below our $348M. The miss was largely concentrated in the wholesale where Q2 sales were $165.6M vs. our estimate of $195M. Slower at-once orders in North America and ongoing distributor issues in China were the major culprits of the miss while global DTC comps were up 2.9%. E-com growth was up 19.5%. April was the strongest month of the quarter and trends decelerated throughout the quarter. Q3 sales are now forecasted down 9% Y/Y at the mid-point of $245M-$255M--below our $289M estimate. We are lowering our estimates and reducing our PT from $10 to $8. While new product trends and retailer response for SS17 sounded better, the fundamentals of the business currently are not yet in sync and we believe shares remain in a show-me situation."
